Skin isn't a protocol, and today's guest is here to prove it. Natalie Anchondo, licensed aesthetician and founder of Lux & Lav Aesthetics, has trained more than 6,000 professionals to close that gap. Today we're digging into the idea that your treatment isn't your expertise, your judgment is, and what that means when you're deciding which rules to question and which to respect. We'll get into microneedling, why acne changes the equation, and how to read tissue response and adjust your protocol to the client instead of the other way around.
