When three acne experts start a podcast, you know the conversation is going to be good. When they invite Jenni Nagle to join them, it gets even better.
Jenni Nagle, Medical Aesthetician and Co-Founder of L+A Lipgloss + Aftershave, recently joined Cecia Ferrin, Ali Johnson, and Cara Dempsey on Porefessionals—a podcast created by three Face Reality® Certified Acne Experts who are known for their results-driven approach to acne care and their real, unfiltered conversations about the industry.
The episode centered around Jenni’s recent trip to IMCAS in Paris, one of the most influential global congresses in medical aesthetics. Alongside Barry Eichner and Dr. Krystal Briglia, Jenni spent several days immersed in the latest innovations, from emerging technologies to evolving treatment philosophies that are shaping the future of skin health.
Rather than keeping those insights at the top tier of the industry, Jenni brought them straight to the treatment room conversation. She shared what stood out, what’s coming next, and how estheticians can stay informed without feeling overwhelmed by the rapid pace of innovation.
One of the most impactful parts of the discussion focused on advanced modalities like lasers. While these treatments may sit outside the scope of many estheticians, Jenni emphasized that understanding them is essential. Today’s clients are more informed than ever, and they are looking to their esthetician to connect the dots.
By having a working knowledge of advanced treatments, estheticians can position themselves as a trusted resource, guiding clients through the full skin journey. That includes preparing the skin before more intensive procedures and supporting recovery afterward.
The takeaway is simple but powerful. You don’t have to perform every treatment to lead the conversation around it. And in today’s evolving aesthetic landscape, that kind of leadership is everything.
