Welcome back to The Treatment Room! I'm Tessa and I am a licensed esthetician, acne specialist and NASM-certified nutrition coach. In this episode, we discuss acne as a specialty for estheticians, why extractions can go so wrong, is purging a thing?, client relationships, skin picking, and more real world acne application tips for estheticians. ABOUT THE GUEST Today I am joined by my friend, mentor and former esthetician, Douglas Preston. Douglas Preston’s career spans over 40-years in professional esthetics, technical education and as a developer of new skin therapies. Preston‘s age management treatment methods are in use throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and beyond. He is a pioneer in non-medical corrective acne therapies in the skincare industry. In 2022 Preston was inducted into Dermascope Magazine's Academy of Legends, a prestigious honor recognizing a distinguished career and considerable contributions to the professional esthetics industry. He is also the inventor of the remarkable Preston Comedone Rxtractor™, a unique acne treatment tool favored by skincare professionals the world over.
