– Simone Vescio
WITH THE LAUNCH OF THE AUSTRALASIAN ACADEMY OF
CORNEOTHERAPY ON THE HORIZON SIMONE VESCIO
REVEALS HER PLANS AS AN EDUCATOR.
What does it mean to you to be an educator?
“Being in the position to shape, inform and impact the lives
of the therapists is actually a privilege, but a privilege I
have most certainly earned and worked for over the last 20
years. The responsibility of my role is enormous and one I don’t
take for granted. I am continually updating my knowledge base
in conferences, seminars, webinars and having time with doctors,
dermatologists and other educators globally to ensure what I bring
to class is current and relevant to support clinics better understand
skin structure, function and also the chemistry they are working
with every day.”
Outline the highlights of your education program
for the year 2020?
“This year brings us a new platform of education which will
be launched in February 2020. I have identified the need for
non-product aligned Advanced Skin Education. With this
insight, the Australasian Academy of Corneotherapy (AAC) will
open in February 2020. These classes will be face to face in every
major state of Australia and New Zealand. I understand that
online education is convenient but nothing beats being in a class
with your peers learning from them & their questions plus being
able to interact with your educators.
The first modules to be launched during 2020 will be:
1. Corneotherapeutic principles.
2. Embryonic development; what’s involved in the embryonic
development, including the embryonic stem cells, neural crest,
central nervous system and how the development before we are
born impacts our skin.
3. Perioral dermatitis; the inflammatory skin disorder and
histamine as a leading cause. We will also look at the leading
causes of perioral dermatitis and common considerations for this
difficult skin condition.
4. Skin microbiome; why it is so important to the health and
function of our skin and what factors can affect our skin’s
microbiome. We will also take a closer look at the microbiota
that is commonly linked to acne.
5. Melanogenesis; from UV & hormonally induced, to post
inflammatory pigmentation. In this session we will look
at the cause and effect on our skin.
