Last year, SkinSpirit appointed Harvard and Johns Hopkins-trained plastic surgeon Dr. Sachin Shridharani as its Director of Aesthetics Education to augment its practitioners’ training and expertise on new modalities and technologies while raising the bar on the medical spa category. This year, this focus has evolved into the inaugural Elevate and Illuminate event sponsored by SkinSpirit and Allergan Aesthetics, which opens access to this top-drawer training for all aesthetic providers. The first of its kind for any medical aesthetic brand, the event is positioned as a unique opportunity to raise the bar across the aesthetics industry, providing access and advanced education from established medical aesthetic trainers while elevating the safety and training level for the whole aesthetics industry. See more details below - we'd be happy to connect you with principles at SkinSpirit and Allergan as needed for coverage, and can also provide a comped ticket for anyone who’d like to attend. ******************* SkinSpirit, a leading provider of aesthetic skin and body care in the U.S., in partnership with Allergan Aesthetics, has announced the launch of a new educational symposium for medical aesthetics professionals, Elevate and Illuminate, An Evening of Aesthetic Innovation, with an inaugural event planned for March 22, 2024, at The Westin Crystal City Reagan National Airport in Arlington, VA.
