When PB's Editor-in-Chief visited dermaviduals Australasia HQ back in April, her skin was in the midst of a perioral dermatitis break-out. With an impaired barrier brought on by the change in season (plus a baby on the way), it was up to dermaviduals Educator, Sandra Trostel to provide a solve.

The answer came via Zero Therapy: a unique, month-long skin cycling process Hannah would diligently practice from home. Phase one of the protocol would see her strip back her skincare routine to nil.

WEEKEND EDITION: In today’s fast-growing aesthetic industry, training is everywhere - but true education is rare.

As demand for non-surgical treatments rises and advanced technologies become more accessible, the gap between theory and real-world clinical competence has become increasingly apparent.
