Speaker Summaries

The Science of Electrolysis

Summary: This course teaches about the chemistry occurring at the tip of the needle due to Galvanic, Thermolysis, and Blend methods of electrolysis. The three areas covered in this seminar are the chemistry of epilation methods, why needle design matters for optimal electrolysis, and the science behind the sterilization used on epilation needles.

Learning Outcomes:  

• Become familiar with the chemistry of the three modes used in electrolysis: galvanic, thermolysis, and blend

• Learn the importance of the chemical reactions that occur at the tip of electrolysis probes

• Improve understanding of how the properties of epilation needles are optimized to take advantage of the chemistry to result in the optimal destruction of follicles

Speaker Bio: Dr. Sara Paisner is the owner and president of Synoptic Products, a medical products distribution company based in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area.

Functional Medicine and Hormones

Summary: This talk will cover functional medicine and what it means for us as providers and patients; hormones during the peri-menopause and menopausal states, their roles in anti-aging, weight loss, and insulin resistance; inflammation and lifestyle; and how peptides can be used clinically.

Learning Outcomes:

To discern when a functional medicine doctor is needed and what they offer.

Electrolysis Tissue Injury: From Normal to Extreme Reactions, with Joanie Gonella CPE

Performing electrolysis is much more than just permanently removing hairs.  A successful electrologist must navigate the fine line between efficient treatments and the possible side effects of the current on the skin.  While electrology treatments are not without normal skin reactions, extreme skin reactions should be avoided.  In this lecture we will look at possible normal side effects, what happens to the healing skin and what type of reactions should be avoided.

How to Become a Content Creator and Level Up Your Digital Presence in 2022 with Anna Norman

Are you using social media but not seeing results? Do you stare at your phone, perplexed at what to actually post? Are you convinced that electrologists don’t need to be on social media at all?

In our current age of constant media consumption (the average American spends 2.5 hours a day on social media!), becoming a content creator is an effective (and arguably essential) way to level-up your business without draining your energy or your time.

Learn how to build your personal brand, engage confidently as the face of your business, and create your own social media and marketing materials without hiring an expensive graphic designer or social media manager. You will walk away with real-world strategies to educate, inspire, and connect with future and current clients and harness the undeniable reach of social media in a way that works for you.

Smooth Operator

The objective of this lecture is to introduce and elaborate on the many facets of the growing industry  of non invasive aesthetic medicine which ultimately is the patient having a smooth youthful appearance.  The audience will gain knowledge about the technology, technique and desired outcomes for procedures including the use of injectables, energy devices, medical grade skin care, and microneedling.  It will also include information regarding safety and possible adverse events with each topic of discussion.
