Does This Sound Like You?

Do you get frustrated when you just can’t figure out how to help your acne clients?

Feeling stuck in your business, and wanting to charge more for your services?

Maybe you already know that professional acne treatments could generate way more monthly revenue. But, you want to offer holistic acne treatments – ones that are clinically proven, safe, and effective for clients long term.

Your lack of confidence in acne management – and not knowing how to make a career out of it – is not your fault.

Despite acne affecting a very large portion of the population, we are not given adequate instruction during our aesthetician training. We breeze over acne management, and don’t know how to provide the proper, individualized services that our clients deserve.

Fill Your Clinic with Clear Skin Clients

(And make really good money doing it.)

Whether you have the funds to invest in state-of-the-art acne skincare technology – or not – you can become the sought-after acne specialist in your area.

Imagine if you become the “go-to” for acne treatments…
Finally having a well-paying career…
Bringing in significantly more monthly revenue…
Knowing you can help every client who comes in your door…
Performing highly effective acne treatments for each skin type...
And completely transforming lives...

Hi, I am Amanda Dibben

Licensed Clinical Aesthetician |
Acne Specialist | Nutrition Coach

In my teens and twenties, I suffered from hormonal acne and sensitive skin. This ultimately inspired me to become an aesthetician.

Once I started practicing, I realized that my standard aesthetician training left me completely unprepared to successfully treat my acne clients – and I knew my clients deserved better from me.

Since there was no comprehensive acne specialist course for estheticians available, I had to slowly build up my own capabilities and knowledge base.

During the next several years, I made it my mission to uncover evidence-based acne treatment protocols, clinically proven products, and holistic practices for long-lasting results.

Since opening my clinic in Vancouver, Canada, I’ve helped 2,300+ clients clear their skin using tried-and-trusted treatment protocols.

"Amanda has completely transformed my skin!! I used to be a full foundation kind of girl and never leave my house without makeup, now I am confident in my skin and usually only throw on a tinted moisturizer and am good to go! Thank you Amanda for making me feel confident in my skin again! You are an angel!”

"I've struggled with hormonal acne since I was in high school, Amanda was the only thing that helped keep it under control-- birth control no longer worked, Accutane didn't help very much, and neither did other prescription medications or creams. She is a godsend to my skin, and seriously to see and feel my skin this soft, smooth, glowy and relatively scarless is a miracle after all these years!!"

"I first came across Amanda's Instagram account and followed her for a few months before I took the initiative as I had bad experiences elsewhere before. However, at that moment I felt Amanda may be the right person to help me with my rosacea acne and sensitive skin. I am truly grateful, she has transformed my skin"

How long does it take to get through the program?
We offer a comprehensive education that you can apply immediately to your practice. The course is designed to be completed within 2-4 weeks, but it is completely self-paced. You can power through the video lessons and assignments, or you can take your time.

Do you offer a guarantee or refund for this course?

What acne specialist jobs or services can I perform after taking this course?
Great question! While you will learn a variety of treatments and techniques, the most common services an acne specialist can provide include: acne facials, laser facials, advanced extractions, chemical peels and more.

We offer the most in-depth acne specialist certification course available. No matter what level you are at in your career, this course will teach you how to successfully treat acne in any client.

Still Not Sure If This Program Is Right for You?

How do I know if this course is worth it?
This course will teach any aesthetician how to effectively treat acne – no matter what level they are at in their career.

Our program is the most in-depth acne specialist certification available. We don’t just rely on anecdotal methods. We have studied proven techniques and have worked alongside several skincare leaders, dermatologists and dieticians.
Similar programs end up just pushing their own products.
Yes, you are absolutely correct! Some for-profit acne specialist certification courses do not cover the same depth of knowledge that we do.

While we do have some partnerships, our course focuses on the techniques themselves. You can go through the entire course and run a successful acne-focused practice without ever using any of the products we mention.

Again, our lessons focus on the actual management of clients, the acne treatment techniques, and operating your business – all of which is not product-specific.
Your program is too expensive.
We get it. When you’ve already spent thousands or tens of thousands of dollars on education, career advancements, and your business, you have to be selective about your next investment.

However, this course is designed to make you more profitable, competitive, and marketable as an individual aesthetician or local clinic.

With the skills you gain in this course, you could drastically increase your monthly revenue by offering new services or making your current efforts more effective.

With this program, you learn how to perform the advanced acne skincare treatments that clients are asking for. Plus, we cover how to provide high quality care that allows you to retain happy clients, even when their skin is clear.

Your one-time payment equips you with expert-level knowledge about acne treatments for every client you come across. Plus, you’ll also get any course updates. So any new developments will be available to you.
How is this course better than other acne specialist courses for estheticians?
You cannot get this comprehensive of acne specialist training. Plus, other courses are highly product-focused and only teach you how to use their products.

This course teaches you the techniques that can be applied using various products across brands. And many other courses do not discuss a holistic acne treatment approach.

Our course only recommends the very best products and devices when appropriate. You can finish this course – and go on to have a successful acne clinic – without ever having to purchase products from us or our partners.

And, our online acne course uses a clean, modern interface. Simply put: Our lessons are engaging and something you’ll actually enjoy watching!

We have boiled down the most effective acne skincare treatments that have worked in Amanda’s clinic and/or are industry-proven. We don’t offer opinions and suggestions without having the evidence to prove the efficacy.
Will I have to invest in expensive devices or technology in order to provide these services?
No! You can select which treatment modalities to use based on your budget. We cover how to use certain acne treatment devices, but we also cover how to treat acne device-free using products and lifestyle changes.

So, while some students may have the means to invest in light therapy devices, lasers, and medical grade skincare products, these are not required to run a successful acne skincare practice.

This program also teaches holistic practices like nutrition, supplements, hormones, and lifestyle changes, which are still highly effective!
