🧪 Case Clinic

This week’s case comes from a member of our community, @Maria Alejandra Ruvalcaba 👇

A 28-year-old male client presents with inflammatory acne (papules) concentrated along the chin, jawline, and cheeks.

This will be his first professional treatment, and he has identified high stress levels and poor diet as potential contributing factors.

The goal: reduce active inflammation while building a long-term plan to support clearer, healthier skin.

How would you approach this client?

– What would your first treatment look like?
– Would you prioritize inflammation control before more corrective treatments?
– What home-care ingredients would you recommend starting with?
– How do you approach internal factors like stress when supporting acne clients?

⭐ Bonus Question

When treating male clients, do you adjust your approach based on factors like skin thickness, oil production, or shaving habits, or do you focus purely on skin condition?
