What you see on the skin and what drives it, in short lines you can scan in seconds.
Look-alike conditions or options side by side, so you can tell them apart.
What to do, what to avoid, and the exact signs that mean you should refer to a medical provider.

Questions
What format are the files?
PDF files. Each card is one page. You get every language in US Letter and in A4, so they print cleanly in the US, Canada, Europe and Latin America.
How do I get access after paying?
Hotmart sends you an email with your access right after the payment is approved. You download the files from your Hotmart members area, on a computer, tablet or phone.
Can I print the cards and use them with clients?
Yes. Print them for your treatment room and show them during consultations. The files are for your own professional use and may not be resold or shared publicly.
Is this medical advice?
No. It is an educational reference for skincare professionals. It does not replace medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always follow the scope of practice of your state or country, and every card tells you when to refer.
Is it for students too?
Yes. Students can use the cards to review topics visually. The content is written for working estheticians, so it also helps after you are licensed.
Which languages are included?
English, Spanish and Portuguese, all in the same purchase.
Can I read them on my phone?
Yes. The PDFs open on any phone, tablet or computer. In the treatment room, a tablet or a printed card is the easiest way to show a client.
Will I get updates?
