Stop Guessing. Start Thinking Clinically.
The Professional Acne Training System for Estheticians™ is a comprehensive 90-card clinical reference and training deck designed to help you confidently assess acne, understand the underlying physiology, identify lesion types, select evidence-based ingredients, build effective treatment protocols, recognize when to modify treatment or refer a client, and educate clients with greater confidence.
Developed by JoAnn Francis, a Licensed Esthetician with over 40 years of experience, including 15 years working alongside a dermatologist and 15 years as the owner of a successful medical spa, this system is built from real clinical experience and proven results—not theory alone. Every card simplifies complex skin science into a practical, easy-to-follow reference you can use during consultations, treatment planning, and client education.
This is the same clinical thought process and treatment methodology JoAnn Francis developed over four decades of working in dermatology, treating thousands of clients, mentoring estheticians, and continually refining protocols to achieve more consistent, predictable outcomes.
Whether you're a newly licensed esthetician building confidence or an experienced professional looking for a more structured clinical approach, this system will help you think more critically, make informed treatment decisions, improve client communication, and deliver a higher standard of care.
