🚀 Why it matters:
Acne is one of the most common and emotionally charged conditions you’ll face. This course equips you with advanced knowledge so you can treat acne safely, confidently, and effectively, earning client trust and growing your professional credibility.
The challenge you face every day
Acne isn’t “just pimples.” It’s a chronic, multifactorial disease that affects self-esteem as much as skin.
Clients arrive desperate for help. They’ve tried everything. They’re frustrated, emotional, and counting on you to deliver answers.
Without advanced training, it’s easy to feel:
-
Overwhelmed by the complexity of acne and its triggers.
-
Unsure how to differentiate between acne types and causes.
-
Afraid of making things worse, especially on darker skin types.
-
Embarrassed when clients return disappointed with results.
This course is designed to end that uncertainty.
Why this course is different
Understanding Acne as a Chronic Disease is not a surface-level overview. It’s a deep, structured exploration of acne as a disease, taught by Gay Wardle, one of Australia’s most respected educators and industry leaders.
You’ll gain advanced insights into:
-
The biology of sebaceous glands and pilosebaceous ducts.
-
The role of bacteria, inflammation, and the acne biofilm.
-
Nutrition, genetics, and hormonal factors including PCOS.
-
Acne in adults, darker skin types, and steroid users.
-
Environmental triggers like pollution.
By the end, you’ll be able to:
✅ Confidently explain acne’s causes and management to clients.
✅ Design safe, effective treatment plans tailored to individuals.
✅ Position yourself as an acne expert who clients trust, and pay more to see.
