"I work specifically with acne clients and I didn't realize why I love it so much until I counseled my first client... she had severe, stubborn acne and I refused to give up on her. When her skin was clear after two months, she told me I changed her life and she would never forget what I did for her. That's what I work toward every time now. Sometimes you have to be your clients accountability, motivation, counselor and skin therapist all in one... it's totally worth it when you see how it lifts their self esteem and overall attitude towards life."
~ Lacey Jo Anderson

"In 1976, during my senior year in high school, I worked in a department store selling cosmetics. Cosmetic surgery procedures were just becoming accessible to mainstream America. I remember women coming to my counter wearing big floppy hats and dark Jackie O sunglasses, seeking camouflage makeup to cover bruises from their face-lifts. I thought, why would a doctor send their patient to a department store instead of having someone assist them in their office? Bingo! I became a licensed aesthetician, marketed myself to plastic surgeons and the rest is history. Skin therapeutics has been my passion for three decades and continues to evolve with the emerging need to establish protocols for oncology patients."
