Educational Documents

There has been a small few on this forum who have requested some of my educational documents and literature, which is very cool - to say the least. :) I worked long, long hours on them and the main purpose was to give them away and let others learn from them and also to help me make them better. With that said, my diagram of the skin has been emailed to a few and the request came up that if I had more, please post them. So here they are! What I will do is attach the PDF and if you like it and want a copy please respond to the post with your email and I will send it to you. I welcome all thoughts and ideas and again thank you for wanting them. I will post a few a day...

Here is one of my favorites and normally it gets laughed at and for some skin care pros, they cannot believe I wrote it.  Not that "I" wrote it but its that stupid... "Why would you put your name on it"? Well, that is what one esty said to me.

'Skin Regeneration Cycle' is taken direct from 'Medical' and from a text book written by a well known dr. in Europe. His text is studied by skin care pros within the EU and abroad. The words are mine, so if you find a spelling or grammar please tell me, but the illustration is the texts.  I think I did change the illustration slightly in favor of the beginner skin care professional but 90% is in its original form.

During a chemical peel procedure client's skin reacts differently from time to time.  Most newbies find this document very helpful since it gives them a record of what happened last and or what a client said.  Anyway you use it, it might help protect you from post peel complications and unwanted client conditions. This form goes with the 'Skin Regeneration Cycle'.

Acne is one of the most complicated skin diseases and for the new esty it is also very misunderstood.

I suffered from acne and on a scale from 1- 4, I was a 3.  Back in 1987 - 88 I went on Accutane* for 10 months with twice daily for 40mg total if my memory is correct.  It saved my self esteem and today I do not have scars.

If you do not believe in Accutane please reconsider as for grade 3 and 4 have really no other solution. Final point on Accutane:  It is NOT the length of time which causes the problems or potential adverse side affects but the dosage. Europe knows this, but in the US, it is not talked about. If you agree with Accutane and have studied it, advise clients to go for a slightly lower dosage.  Ask for a lower dosage, the Derm will comply. See how it goes, it is best for the body and it can only help the acne.

*I know the drug maker is no longer making it in original form and it is now only available in generic but I still call it what it is: Accutane.

My 14 y.o. son was a grade 2, pushing to 3 coming out of 8th grade and Accutane saved his self esteem going into 9th grade.  I treated him and so did his Derm for 1.5 years.  His skin went through every topical treatment I had (not limited to 10% TCA peels) including all Derm prescribed topical and three different oral antibiotics. His Derm prescribed Accutane at the dosage (which followed my beliefs) and eventually the Derm wanted to up the dosage.  I intervened, said no, and my son did just fine. Derm eventually told me that I was the only parent or client to EVER tell him NO to something he wanted to do. I was shocked but again he is just practicing. I told the Derm point blank, "You don't know my son, his genetic makeup; your not practicing on my him.  You will do as I ask or I will take him to a Derm who will".

The attached file I made so acne could be easier to see and understand.  I drew the pictures, hope they are clear enough, but the words are taken from medical text.  I re-worded but the base is still from medical and not my own.  I did not see a reason to elaborate when it was said too well from the get go.

Depth of penetration and what it actually means is always a big topic. Normally skin care professionals that I talk to just take it for what it is and go with it. That is normally ok and I am also guilty of it but one day I really wanted to know what that meant.  The first part was actually finding out how thick a skin cell is and then how thick each layer is and what chemical peel goes to what depth and how this depth of penetration is affected by percentage or pH or time or coats.  The attached PDF is what I came up with to help new skin care professionals understand just how deep a peel goes and to allow the mind to see it.  Visualizing a micron (um) is very difficult to do. This study is also a reason I formulated glycolic acid in 10%, 20% and 30% at 2.0 pH and TCA at 5% and 10%. Its sorta a harder read then normal but if there are questions I will do my best.

Here is the 'Depth of Peel' document.

The attached two pictures go with the 'Depth of Penetration'.  What caused this? 10% TCA (2 Coats) applied with a fan brush.

I think that is beyond 'SC' and into the dermis but how far? To me it looks like 'Superficial' to the stratum spinosum but did it reach the stratum germinatum?  I don't know, does anybody really know...?

The key is this: Using a lower dose, controlling the amount of liquid applied and starting slow and allowing a margin for error.

First picture is day 4 and the second is 9 days later.
