A: The LAMPROBE is the result of the pioneering efforts by Hubert Lam, a health-care professional who saw a need for treating "minor skin irregularities"—a term he coined for describing the common superficial skin irregularities (such as fibromas, skin tags, cholesterol deposits, dilated capillaries, hemangiomas, varied keratoses, and even clogged pores) that estheticians were encountering on a daily basis. With this goal in mind, Lam spent years experimenting with varied currents and treatment techniques, identifying which modes and modalities were possible, safe, and effective. The radio and high frequency current he eventually perfected works so quickly that the current skims over the skin's surface with little destruction of the superficial skin. Alongside this current, Lam also developed specific proprietary treatment methods to treat each of these very specific minor skin irregularities. Today, the LAMPROBE has become a highly respected and valued asset to estheticians around the world for treating skin safely and noninvasively, with immediate results. Q: What should estheticians know about the LAMPROBE? A: The LAMPROBE was invented specifically with estheticians in mind. When the LAMPROBE was being developed, there were no devices on the market available for treating many of these very common surface irregularities. The medical market viewed these conditions as superficial and unimportant, but estheticians appreciated the need for such treatments. From the beginning of LAMPROBE's introduction and dissemination in the esthetics industry, Lam and his company Lamskin worked tirelessly to enable estheticians to use the LAMPROBE because he recognized it was the estheticians who had the hands-on knowledge of the skin, as well as the client handling skills, to properly treat these minor skin FOLLOW THE LEADERS ascp skin deep special advertising section irregularities. It was often an uphill battle against resistance from the entrenched medical community, who did not even want to treat these minor irregularities themselves! Ultimately, it was the education and training protocols that LAMPROBE practitioners were provided with that won estheticians the respect and authority to conduct these superficial, highly-in-demand treatments, safely and effectively. Q: What type of education is provided with the LAMPROBE? A: Education is the key to success. The Lamskin company is focused on educating skin care professionals to properly identify and then correctly treat minor skin irregularities. With that in mind, personalized practical training is always provided to all skin practitioners who will be practicing with the LAMPROBE. The LAMPROBE also comes with educational resources, manuals, and videos that contain a wealth of information developed over the years of experienced use by our very active and highly accomplished LAMPROBE community. Q: What are some secrets to being a good leader? A: Believe in yourself and in your mission. Love what you do with passion. Always be open to learning from those you are teaching. Be trustworthy and don't betray others who have placed their trust in you. This is a very small industry and everyone knows each other's histories. You are a leader when others try to copy you; this can be complimentary, but copycats are usually not very ethical or trustworthy. Know that those whose values and ethics align with your own will continue to support you and the ideals you continue to strive for in this evolving and incredibly gratifying industry. sponsored by
