Hand sanitizers have a tendency to dry out skin on the hands because of their high alcohol content.This is why I love the new Sanitizer Gel with vegan hyaluronic acid. Hands stay hydrated even after repeated use, which is incredibly essential during winter months.

COSMEDIX Honors Skin Care Professionals Across the Country in Celebration of the 4th Annual National Aesthetician Month

COSMEDIX, a globally recognized skincare brand at the intersection of luxury and clinical beauty, is proud to celebrate the fourth annual National Aesthetician Month. Founded by the brand in 2016, COSMEDIX dedicates the month of October to recognize the unsung heroes in the world of skin. The luxury skincare brand has also named October 15th National Aesthetician Day—a day devoted to shining a spotlight on skincare professionals who help keep a client’s complexion looking its best!

“National Aesthetician Month is a big deal here at COSMEDIX.” Says Christine Jackson Global Vice President of COSMEDIX “We wanted to make sure that we founded and sponsored a day to celebrate skin care professionals in a special way! This is now a day that is recognized nationwide in the industry! This year, we wanted to celebrate in a unique way with all that is going on in the Nation. That is why we decided to partner with Skin of Color Society and Good360. We want to celebrate diversity along with giving back to communities that are facing hardship. Even though we have faced many challenges in 2020 as a society, we have the opportunity to celebrate those who make us feel our best!”

Created to celebrate the essential role all aestheticians play in a client’s skincare journey, National Aesthetician Month strives to reward the dedication and expertise aestheticians bring to the skincare industry. From performing chemical peels and extractions to teaching proper at-home facials, aestheticians work hard to ensure their clients are equipped with self-confidence that is more than skin deep. The month-long celebration also seeks to spark an educational conversation beyond the skincare community by raising awareness for skin health. As a sponsor for National Aesthetician Month, COSMEDIX highlights the importance of visiting an aesthetician to address skincare concerns and helps educate consumers on proper care for the body’s largest organ—the skin.

As a brand founded by aestheticians for aestheticians, COSMEDIX is always looking to marry education, skin care, and awareness. In honor of National Aesthetician Month, COSMEDIX will recognize two outstanding organizations: Skin of Color Society (S.O.C.S) and Good360. Established in 2004, S.O.C.S is committed to educating the public on the misconceptions and specific skin concerns that are common to skin of color. COSMEDIX will donate a portion of their proceeds to support the mission. The professional skincare brand will also donate products to Good360—a charitable organization that distributes excess goods to communities effected by hardship or natural disasters.

Plastic Surgeon Explains the Halt on Surgeries in Texas

Since the COVID-19 outbreak, we have seen an unprecedented impact on so many different sectors of our daily lives. And out healthcare professionals, strained to their limits, have attempted to explain to the public why it is important to heed the guidelines from the CDC as we continue to see the number of infections increase steadily.

Here in Texas, all surgeries that are not essential have been put on hold by order of the Governor, but not everyone understands the rationale for this.

 

Dr. Johnny Franco, an Austin plastic surgeon and the founder of A More Beautiful You Plastic Surgery says that his office is still getting calls with questions. “People have been calling our office daily with a flood of questions about their elective surgery. Some people are under the impression that if a surgery is not being done in an actual hospital that they don’t need to worry about it and should be able to have their procedure done.”

 

Dr. Franco says there are multiple reasons why surgeries were put on hold, it isn’t just the spread of COVID-19 for patients and doctors that is at issue. “It’s a matter of resources. We as medical experts have to be leaders.”

 

Dr. Franco also says that resources need to be preserved. This includes everything from PPE or Personal Protective Equipment and possible ventilators, in the event other local practitioners need his resources. “We started letting our colleagues know weeks ago that we were prepared to provide them with whatever gear we could spare and many of the medical practices in Austin have donated to hospitals.”

 

Finally, Dr. Franco says that ceasing elective surgical procedures relieves potential strain on the hospital system. “While it is extremely rare for a patient to end up in a hospital as a result of a cosmetic procedure, we want to make sure that need does not even arise. With an event like this, we need to ensure that the hospitals are focused on the pandemic, and not anything else if it can be avoided.”

 

Dr. Johnny Franco MD is a graduate of Beloit College with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry, earned his Doctorate of Medicine from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and served his residency in Plastic Surgery at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. There, he was chief resident from 2010-2011. In 2011, he completed additional training at Chan Gung Hospital in Taiwan with a focus on microsurgery primarily in cancer reconstruction, followed by a fellowship at Gent University Hospital in Belgium where he specialized in breast reconstruction and fat transfer. He has received many academic achievement awards including the Walter S. Haven Prize, Elizabeth W. Souter Award and the Merck Index Award. Currently he is Clinical Faculty at The University of Texas Dell Medical School and serves as a reviewer for the Aesthetic Journal and Annals of Plastic Surgery. He is an active member of the Austin Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons. He is also an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.

 

Dr. Franco has been featured in magazines such as Miami Shoot and the Miami Herald for his expertise in aesthetic surgery while in Miami. Since returning to Texas he has been featured on the Dana Cortez Show on 98.5 the Beat multiple times and on the Billy the Kid show on 96.7. Dr. Franco also currently serves on the advisory board for Realself in an effort to implement new social media trends into their site.

TDLR Waiving Requirements for Some Licenses

To help keep its licensees ready and available to assist with combatting the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) is taking the following actions:

 

  • Waiving continuing education requirements for all licenses expiring in March, April, and May 2020. Licensees will still submit their renewal applications, pay the required fees, and have their criminal histories checked but they will not need complete any required continuing education requirements this licensing cycle.
  • Allowing Speech-Language Pathologist and Audiologist interns to receive credit for supervised hours when they have “tele-supervision” and waiving time limits on the number of supervised hours the interns can complete. Allowing remote supervision will enable students to continue earning credits and allow their patients to continue receiving important therapies.
  • Extending by 60 days all building inspection deadlines in the Elimination of Architectural Barriers Program for any inspections due in March, April, and May to help business owners and licensees who may be struggling to have buildings inspected during this time and allow buildings to be used in case they are needed immediately as part of the COVID-19 response.
  • Extending inspection times for Boilers and Elevators with permits that expire in March, April, and May. Hospitals and other medical facilities will see increased demand in the coming weeks. Temporarily extending required inspections for boilers and elevators will allow healthcare operations to continue. TDLR investigators will respond in case of an accident or emergency.

 

TDLR licensees can sign up for official TDLR email alerts here: https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/TXDLR/subscriber/new. These email updates are the best way to ensure they receive the most accurate and up-to-date information about TDLR.
