After more than three decades in the aesthetics industry, I have come to understand that real education does not end with graduation. It evolves. It is shaped by trends, technology, and most importantly, the diversity of clients who trust us with their skin.
Pigmentation is one of the most nuanced concerns in the aesthetics field. It is never just about brightening or fading; it is about understanding the why behind what is seen. It is about knowing how inflammation, hormones, injury, and sun exposure manifest differently. It is about respecting the lived experience in how clients view their skin.
As a school owner, I have seen how eager new professionals are to make a difference. And I have seen the impact that can be made when we teach not just technique but context. When professionals are equipped to treat pigment concerns thoughtfully and safely across all skin tones, we change more than appearance – we elevate the standard of care.
This issue is packed with that kind of insight. Whether you are just starting out or decades in, let it challenge and inspire you. Because true mastery in aesthetics does not just come from what you know; it comes from how willing you are to keep learning.
