Think of SKOOL as your online training hub. The Classroom section is where your actual courses live. You’ll only see the classes you’ve been given access to, and this is where you’ll find your lessons, videos, manuals, downloads and other course resources. The Community section is a bit more like Facebook. That’s where I’ll post updates, reminders, interesting information, extra learning, industry discussions and anything else I think will be useful for you. So in short: Classroom = your courses and training material Community = updates, discussions and extra information You can also use the community to ask questions or keep an eye on anything new that’s been added. Once you’re logged in, have a little click around — it’s very easy to use once you get familiar with where everything sits.

Major skin-relevant contributors to oxidative stress: 1. UV - sun exposure - sunburn - tanning beds 2. Environmental - pollution - cigarette smoke - some chemicals 3. Inflammation - inflammatory skin disease - injury - wound healing - illness 4. Internal metabolism - mitochondria naturally produce ROS - ageing alters oxidative balance 5. Lifestyle/systemic factors - smoking - excessive alcohol - significant chronic stress - poor sleep - some medications/drugs Oxygen isn't bad and exercise isn't inherently oxidative damage. Exercise can transiently increase ROS but regular exercise also up-regulates antioxidant defence systems.

TCA frosting is a useful indicator of protein coagulation and treatment depth, but visible frosting is not required for every successful TCA peel. The aim is to achieve the endpoint appropriate to the peel being performed — not to create the strongest possible frost.

Medical eligibility is not the same thing as aesthetic suitability. The nurse brings valuable clinical knowledge to aesthetics. The new skill is learning to use that knowledge alongside careful observation of: Barrier • Sebum • Texture • Inflammation • Vascularity • Pigment • Scarring • Lesions and then turning those observations into a rational treatment plan. The goal is not to make the nurse less clinical and teach her where clinical nursing assessment ends and aesthetic skin-analysis reasoning begins — and how the two work together.
