New areas of aesthetic nursing to be covered in JAN

In the rapidly-growing aesthetics sector, it is more important than ever to keep abreast of the many technological advances that may be of use to practitioners. At the heart of the Journal of Aesthetic Nursing also lies the spirit of enhancing aesthetic nurses' ever-growing professional knowledge. That is, in this journal, we are committed to building a helpful community of practitioners.

From this issue onwards, I am more than excited to introduce aesthetics consultant Vanessa Bird as a regular contributor in the practice management section. Vanessa is extremely knowledgeable about the business aspect of aesthetics and has a wealth of insight into the future of the sector. Do keep an eye out for her articles in issues to come.

This June issue, we are covering quite a few technical topics in aesthetics. We start off with healthcare writer Francesca Ramadan's introduction to acne scars and treatment options (as it is acne awareness month), along with an introduction to polynucleotides from one of our board members, Alexandra Mills Haq. Editorial board member and nurse Claudia McGloin brings you to take a look at the recent advancements in research.
