Quitting my job with an ocular surgeon to commit to DermaplanePro full-time.

4.  ULTIMATE CAREER GOAL
To continue being the leader in dermaplaning innovation and training as we continue our expansion into more languages and countries.

5. ONE MUCH-NEEDED CHANGE IN THE INDUSTRY

6. TOP PRIORITIES

ABOUT ME
As many business owners are aware, work normally follows you home. I have the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Sierras and breathtaking Lake Tahoe as a backdrop to immerse myself in nature. I also enjoy working with artists on large scale art pieces and I have the most amazing group of friends who I enjoy spending time with.

HOW I’M BREAKING THE MOLD

FIRST-CLASS DERMAPLANING

 

“DermaplanePro believes that aestheticians in all settings should be able to obtain quality training, supplies, and support for dermaplaning. They also knew that dermaplaning was a great stand-alone treatment but needed updating. Protocols and the introduction of their AHA/BHA Skin Prep Solution, Nourishe dermaplaning oil and blades designed specifically for dermaplaning, and their signature learning systems has elevated DermaplanePro to become the leader in dermaplaning education and innovation.” Rikki Kusy, Founder and CEO of DermaplanePro, Inc.
