2023 ASCP Fall Education Summit

The pro-aging movement has arrived, and with it is a renewed celebration of life, embracing age as a beautiful rite of passage. This positive mindset focuses on the now, rather than an obsession over what once was. This doesn't mean we abandon “anti-aging” treatments, but rather we should guide our clients in finding the treatments that make them feel good and promote skin health.

Meet the Presenters:
