"Jodi,
I totally believe there is an internal component to this. Much as I admire the motivation to be a vegan, it's hard to have healthy skin when you are one. The first thought that comes to my mind is that she is essential fatty…"

Mary Lou Coleman replied to Jodi Braun's discussion Vegan diet and Acne in the group Acne SpecialistsMary Lou Coleman replied to Mary Lou Coleman's discussion marketing our amazing programs... in the group Acne Specialists"Wow, Abigail...thank you so much. When you say "joint events worked well for you" (past tense) are you no longer treating acne? Or are you just so busy, you don't need to do events anymore? :)
I'd love to…"
"Hi Mary Lou!
Joint events worked very well for me.
For your 20 somethings:
They may not be too excited to come to an acne seminar. But I'm sure a lot of them will be excited to come to a free event where you offer…"
Mary Lou Coleman replied to Mary Lou Coleman's discussion Post-treatment break-outs in the group Acne Specialists"Thanks, ladies. You've given me lots to think about. I have sometimes wondered if these "break-outs" aren't really break-outs at all, but more irritation. In the case of this young girl, although the treatment I…"
Andrea Stein replied to Mary Lou Coleman's discussion Post-treatment break-outs in the group Acne Specialists"It could be several things, one of which you already mentioned. If her skin was under oxygenated with sluggish circulation then it is going thru a sort of "shock" period. The oils have to be rebalance if there was over stimulation as well.…"
Laura Cooksey replied to Mary Lou Coleman's discussion Post-treatment break-outs in the group Acne Specialists"I will just talk from personal experience. There are times when I don't get the entire lesion out; but I've irritated the pore, so it will come to a head. One way of alleviating some of that is to put benzoyl peroxide on them…"

Post-treatment break-outs
Not everyone who comes to see me is enrolled in my acne management program. New clients sometimes say "I just want an acne facial" (which usually opens the door to discussing my program, fortunately.) Occasionally, however, I hear when I follow up a couple of days later that the treatment made them "break out" even more. Does anyone know the physiology of what's going on when this happens? I am not using Vitamin A-containing products, and the treatment is relatively gentle: cleanse, very…See More
Brenda Griffin replied to Mary Lou Coleman's discussion marketing our amazing programs... in the group Acne Specialists"Happy to share with you, Mary Lou. I have both FB and Linkedin as well as Twitter, Manta, Yelp, etc. My FB and Twitter and Linked in are linked so if I post on one of them it goes to all three.
I do not have a certain way of…"
Mary Lou Coleman replied to Mary Lou Coleman's discussion marketing our amazing programs... in the group Acne Specialists"Thanks, Brenda. You are no doubt 100% right. I will have to look at the facebook pages of some good spas / estheticians, and see what they do. Is facebook enough? Do you personally utilize sites such as LinkedIn?
As for…"
Brenda Griffin replied to Mary Lou Coleman's discussion marketing our amazing programs... in the group Acne Specialists"In today's world you need to become computer savvy or hire someone to do it for you. Social media sites drive traffic to your website and increase your credibility when you share your knowledge with others. Another form of…"

People, how are you advertising and marketing the fabulous results you are getting for your acne clients????I have been a Face Reality professional for over a year, and the results speak for themselves. With a compliant client, the success rate is pretty phenomenal. But I am surprised by how relatively few people, whether moms seeking out my services for their teens, or 20- somethings for themselves, contact me. I stay plenty busy with aging management. What gives?In the interest of full…See More
Carrie Patrick replied to Mary Lou Coleman's discussion Why EVERY acne sufferer should be taking Omega 3's in the group Acne Specialists"Interesting! I have been taking Omega 3 supplements for quite a while (not for skin reasons) and have much better skin now, after being very acne prone for much of my life. I just get whichever Omega 3 fish oil capsules are cheapest at the…"
Julie Forkenbrock replied to Mary Lou Coleman's discussion Why EVERY acne sufferer should be taking Omega 3's in the group Acne Specialists"Thank you, Mary Lou! Believe me, I know what I should and should not be eating. Unfortunately, I have this very real and strange addiction to Haagen Dazs vanilla frozen yogurt and diet root beer - lots of sugar in the yogurt."
Julie Forkenbrock replied to Mary Lou Coleman's discussion Why EVERY acne sufferer should be taking Omega 3's in the group Acne Specialists"Thank you for the link, Laura!! I do love it on my body and it does soak in beautifully after about 20 mins. I would never put it on if I was in a hurry, though. I do know some people who love coconut oil for their face. I…"
Laura Cooksey replied to Mary Lou Coleman's discussion Why EVERY acne sufferer should be taking Omega 3's in the group Acne Specialists"Good point Mary Lou. Oils on the skin can actually "feed" the bacteria!"
Mary Lou Coleman replied to Mary Lou Coleman's discussion Why EVERY acne sufferer should be taking Omega 3's in the group Acne Specialists"Oils ON the skin and oil taken internally are very different things! It's a myth that consumed oil causes break-outs - unless they are just part of a generally crappy diet, in which case all bets are off. Diet is HUGE in acne…"
