Surgeon Perspective
“As a plastic surgeon, I knew anatomy—but translating that knowledge into refined, non-surgical treatment planning was the missing piece. Dermal Distinction Academy gave me a practical framework to assess the whole face, integrate injectables confidently into my practice and create natural results that complement my surgical expertise.”
