Taneesa Williamson As a company that values career progression, Advanced Cosmeceuticals provides its staff with ongoing opportunities to grow into new roles that align with their professional aspirations.
Advanced Cosmeceuticals has built a strong reputation as a leader in the skincare and medical aesthetics industry, not only for its innovative brand portfolio but also for its commitment to employee development.
One of the key ways Advanced Cosmeceuticals supports career growth is through its comprehensive training and education programs. The company’s team of educators delivers in-depth training across its brand portfolio, offering in-clinic education, brand training schools, and exclusive workshops with international trainers. This focus on continuous learning ensures that both employees and clients stay at the forefront of industry advancements.
“Our people are at the heart of Advanced Cosmeceuticals,” says Chief Executive Officer, Shaunte Mears-Watkins. “We are committed to fostering a culture where talent is nurtured, careers flourish, and passion is transformed into expertise. As our company grows, we take pride in providing our team with opportunities to advance into new roles that align with their ambitions and professional goals.”
Advanced Cosmeceuticals has recently welcomed their latest clinical trainer Daisy Lucas into their team, and we sat down with Daisy to learn about her journey and thoughts on Advanced Cosmeceuticals as an employer.
Your journey to this role must have been incredible. Can you share a bit about your background and the path that led you to becoming a Clinical Trainer?
My journey to becoming a Clinical Trainer has been a blend of hands-on experience and a passion for educating others. I entered the beauty industry straight after leaving school, and that decision has led me down an amazing career path. I’ve had the privilege of working with celebrities and at world-renowned spas and clinics across the UK and Australia. Since joining Advanced Cosmeceuticals (AC) over 4 years ago, I’ve experienced incredible career growth and opportunities.
Over the years, I’ve transitioned into roles that have allowed me to share my knowledge and expertise, which sparked my interest in training. I’ve always been a firm believer that empowering others through education leads to better client outcomes and more confident skin therapists.
Having worked with DMK for four years, I’ve transitioned into a more advanced training role with our other leading brands at Advanced Cosmeceuticals. I’m now thrilled to be in a position where I can make an even larger impact on the industry.
With such a diverse portfolio – Medik8, Mesoestetic, Vivology, and DMK – how do you approach training to ensure each brand’s unique philosophy and benefits are effectively communicated?
Each brand we have at Advanced Cosmeceuticals has its own distinct approach and philosophy, and that’s something I truly embrace when training. I start by fully understanding each brand’s core values and how their products and treatments stand out in the market.
I tailor each training session to reflect the unique attributes of the brand and ensure that skin therapists understand the philosophy and how it aligns with their goals and clients’ needs. When they truly grasp this, it’s easier for them to successfully integrate it into their practice and provide exceptional results.
What do you see as the biggest opportunity for clinics and practitioners working with the AC portfolio, and how will your role support them in achieving success?
The biggest opportunity for clinics and practitioners working with the AC portfolio lies in the ability to offer truly holistic skin health solutions. Advanced Cosmeceuticals is more than just a distributor – we are a trusted partner, offering industry-leading brands, cutting-edge formulations, and world-class education. Our portfolio includes some of the most advanced skincare brands globally and we back them with expert training and support, ensuring skin therapists feel confident in achieving outstanding results for their clients.
What sets AC apart is our commitment to a 360-degree approach to skin health. Beyond topical skincare, we offer a range of internal supplements that work synergistically to support skin and hair health from the inside out. I’m a strong believer in the power of internal health – by focusing on gut health, collagen production, and overall well-being, we see transformative results that go beyond the surface. This integrated approach allows skin therapists to accelerate their clients’ progress and build long-term loyalty.
With brands like Medik8, mesoestetic and DMK, practitioners have access to groundbreaking technology and clinically proven ingredients. My role is to ensure they have the knowledge, training, and ongoing support to maximise these opportunities. Through tailored education and guidance, I empower skin therapists to confidently integrate these products into their treatments, ensuring they stay ahead of industry trends, deliver superior results, and grow thriving businesses. At AC, we don’t just offer products – we provide the tools and expertise that make clinics and practitioners leaders in their field.
How do you plan to balance the demands of training across multiple ranges while keeping up with the latest innovations and trends in aesthetics?
At Advanced Cosmeceuticals, education is at the core of everything we do, and that’s one of the many reasons why we are the preferred choice for skin professionals looking to elevate their expertise. Balancing training across multiple brands requires strategic organisation, but what makes AC truly unique is our dedication to ensuring both our educators and skin therapists are always at the forefront of the industry.
We prioritise continuous learning, dedicating time to staying up to date with the latest research, brand innovations, and technological advancements. This ensures our training is always fresh, relevant, and aligned with the evolving needs of skin therapists. By immersing myself in each brand’s philosophy and updates, I can deliver training that is not only informative but also engaging and practical, helping therapists integrate new knowledge seamlessly into their practice.
The aesthetics industry moves fast, and staying ahead requires a proactive approach. AC is known for setting the benchmark in professional skincare education, and I take pride in being part of a company that values innovation, expertise, and excellence. Through structured learning, hands-on workshops, and ongoing mentorship, I ensure that those I train are not only well-informed but also inspired to push boundaries and achieve the best possible outcomes for their clients. That’s what makes AC the leader in the industry.
