With degrees in Supply Chain Management and Retail Merchandising, she earned her esthetician license in 2002. Kris served for ten years as Special Projects Manager and Director of Sales at the FDA. She saw the need for high-quality skincare for sensitive skin and co-owned a skincare brand that focused on oncology cosmeceuticals and esthetics.
Kris is highly regarded in the professional skincare community and has authored articles for prominent trade publications such as SkinInc, Lipgloss + Aftershave, Dermascope, Skin Deep, Les Nouvelles, NASNPRO, and the former Day Spa Magazine. As an authority on sensitive skin, she has spoken at major events like The International Esthetics, Cosmetics and Spa Conference, The International Congress of Esthetics and Spa, Professional Beauty Association, Lipgloss + Aftershave, NASNPRO, and the Esthetician Connection.

Her well-reputed and respected product line, Hale and Hush, is known for its effectiveness on sensitive and compromised skin and is expanding to address more skin conditions.

Morag Currin, founder of Oncology Training International (OTI), pioneered oncology aesthetics training to dispel the myth that aestheticians cannot safely serve clients with cancer or other health issues. With over 27 years in the spa industry and 12 years in training management, Currin developed the first Oncology Aesthetics® certification, setting standards in 14 countries, including South Africa.
Her integrative approach emphasizes identity and body connection, embodying compassionate care for estheticians worldwide. In oncology-informed esthetic practice, she is dedicated to providing safe, ethical support for clients with cancer and other health conditions.
Her work combines medical knowledge with esthetic and wellness care, enabling practitioners to operate confidently within their scope. Currin educates on how therapies affect skin, hair, nails, and lymphatic systems, providing practical, evidence-based advice. Her training emphasizes ingredient safety, contraindications, clinical reasoning, and ethics, especially during active treatment and recovery, and addresses the psychological and emotional aspects of appearance changes. She broadens her oncology wellness education through Equine Assisted Learning, fostering self-awareness and resilience. Her efforts promote oncology esthetics as a safe, sustainable profession rooted in evidence, compassion, and respect. She authored key texts, including "Oncology Esthetics: A Practitioner’s Guide" (2009, 2014), "Health-Challenged Skin" (2012), and "Oncology Esthetics" (2020), establishing standards for working with medically compromised individuals and their skin care needs.

Harry Fallick, D.O., completed a residency in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and a fellowship in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery at Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. He has extensive experience treating skin cancer and performing related reconstructive surgeries. In 1989, he founded Fallene, Ltd., with a focus on developing physically based photoprotective topical products.

THE ACNE PREPARATION PRIMER: A GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING THE MOST EFFECTIVE CLINICAL ACNE COMPOUNDS:
Acne vulgaris remains a common condition affecting people of all ages, though it primarily impacts adolescents and young adults. It manifests with various lesion types, and its development involves a complex interaction of genetic, hormonal, microbial, and inflammatory factors. Topical treatments include retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics, and other specialized agents. For moderate-to-severe cases, systemic therapies such as antibiotics, hormonal treatments, and retinoids are particularly effective. Investigational therapies such as biologics, bacteriophages, probiotics, and peptides show potential as future treatment options. Dermatologists now view acne as a chronic inflammatory disease, focusing on preserving the skin barrier and using combination treatments that simultaneously target excess sebum, keratin buildup, bacteria (C. acnes), and inflammation. New strategies involve combination therapies—multi-ingredient formulations designed to improve patient adherence and address multiple disease pathways. This presentation discusses current treatment standards, new compounds, and innovations targeting the diverse aspects of acne vulgaris.
