Throughout attending all the industry events readers can think of over the years, and even more to come, I have been able to witness all sides of the trade. From day spa and holistic practices to medical spa heaven, this industry is one with many paths. For this reason, DERMASCOPE introduces the medical-holistic issue. While no side triumphs over another, we challenge readers to find success in the spaces in between.

Regardless of whether a practitioner sways more to one side than another, there is no doubt that there is value in looking at the bigger picture of aesthetics. Clients are not one dimensional and professionals’ care should not be either. 

Discover the education of this issue; brush up on natural skin care ingredients, the evolution of medical spas, cosmetic dermatology, and the beauty of both. In addition to the primary lineup of education, explore a new approach to the skin ecosystem, how to reduce overhead, some stretches to keep the body moving, and so much more. November will come and go, but this issue will always be here. Enjoy the autumn reads.
