SkinGenesis Spot a Gap in Their Training Programme - February 2006

It is fact that the most common disease to affect people throughout the world is Acne, and yet very few people working in the non-surgical cosmetic services sector understand the various ways of treating the condition.

That is why the non-surgical skin treatment clinic SkinGenesis, has been working with charity ASG (Acne Support Group) to assist in the development of a range of acne treatment programmes to help sufferers. The Leeds/Manchester based specialist clinics called in the ASG to train all staff including the reception team, on how to advise clients suffering with effects of acne and rosacea.

“There is a huge gap between knowledge and believing old wives tales and many therapists rely upon a few hours of college study to provide them with up to the minute knowledge on treating and caring for spot-prone skin”, commented Alison Bowser, Chief Executive of the Acne Support Group.  “If you are spending your money, you should ask yourself is this level of training going to be good enough?” she added.

The non-surgical cosmetic clinic group based in Leeds and Manchester jumped at the chance to boost all their clinic staff’s knowledge and Alison Bowser spent a day sharing her 13 years experience of managing acne, running a tailored acne and rosacea training day.

This specialist development and training is a first in the region, and sets apart the quality of care and expertise available at SkinGenesis.

“SkinGenesis has developed an effective alternative to conventional drugs and topical creams used to treat acne. Backed by a unique performance guarantee, the SkinGenesis team are confident they can substantially reduce the severity of this condition for many people. However, the training has also identified the importance of working with the client in a sympathetic, empathetic and discreet way.”  concluded SkinGenesis director William Haseldine.
