Here's to a strong second half of the year!

🧬 Healthy skin starts with understanding how it heals.

Join us for "Wound Healing for Collagen Induction" and explore the science behind collagen production, advanced skin treatments, and resilient skin.

Led by Advanced Practice Esthetician Tina Freiborg (Tina Rachelle Aesthetics), you'll gain practical knowledge, watch a live protocol demonstration, and leave with techniques you can confidently apply in the treatment room. 🔬🤍

Invest in your education. Invest in your clients.

🫧 Myth 2: Disinfectants kill germs the instant you spray them.

❌ Most disinfectants need contact time to do their job. That means the surface must stay visibly wet for a certain amount of time.

Effective disinfection depends on four key factors:

✅ Cleaning the item or surface first
✅ Using the correct disinfectant
✅ Following the manufacturer's directions
✅ Allowing the required contact time

Proper infection control isn't just about what you use, but how you use it. 💧
