When people talk about the treatments they do, can everyone say the product line? It helps me get more familiar with the lines I don't work with. I use PCA peels mostly, occasionally for severe issues I use Biomani strond unbuffered peels. I use Bioelements for facials and our product line we sale is Alyria which will only disburse from a medical spa with a Doctor on staff.

Hi Sherly - to order my training DVD go here. Once you study the dvd you will start to get amazing results with your acne clients. I have my own wholesale line of acne products and it is explained in detail how and when to use them. I probably won't go to the Miami conference this year but hope to catch you sometime!

Laura, need your advice. I have a long distance client, asian, lots of stress, grade III. Using gly cleanser, bp5%, vit A and sunscreen. She shares that overall things have cleared up but she is getting 1-2 breakouts and they are cystic and painful. Hyperpigmentation seems worse. She has been on this trtmt. since 3/23/11. I am not able to treat her weekly as she is in NY. Do I just tell her to keep up the work and give it time? She has not been compliant in the past but this time I believe she is doing the work. Thank you.

Hi Brenda - If she is still inflamed, I wouldn't have her on vitamin a, I would have her on a mandelic serum (or salicylic if you don't have mandelic). Mandelic would also help with the pih. Is she icing after cleansing? That's also key at this point.

Thank you, Laura. I will discuss with her, hasn't sent me new pictures yet so not sure of the level of inflammation. I did tell her to ice.

Laura, what shampoo would you recommend for a person with inflammed acne on the forehead? I suspect that my client's hair products are aggrevating his acne. Any suggestions?

Hi Laura,

Do you recommend using a lancet on blackheads that are under the skin but raised like milia?
