FORT MYERS, Fla., July 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Florida Academy is expanding its skincare program to include a unique partnership with Azul Cosmetic Surgery and Medical Spa, founded by Dr. Patrick Flaharty, one of America’s most experienced facial plastic surgeons, and Trilogy Laboratories, founded by Dr. Kristen Flaharty to bring the science of anti-aging, medical-grade skincare advancements to products that women can use daily, with ease and confidence.
Since its inception in 1992, Florida Academy has been educating students to become highly skilled professionals, practicing with real patients and mirroring the steps and ethics of real-world environments. L. J. Zielke, owner of Florida Academy, calls this partnership a valued progression of their offerings. “We’re committed to excellence, and know this will raise the bar for what our students will learn and be able to offer their future clients.” Director of Education Sharon Houseman says, “This partnership will propel students’ education, placement and course offerings. They will be able to see the real-life functioning of a medical spa and get a sense of what a career in medical aesthetics would be like.”
“Education has been a core focus of my career,” says Dr. Kristen Flaharty, who brings over 20 years of ethical pharmaceutical product-development experience to the table. “Getting involved with training the next generation of skincare specialists at Florida Academy is a natural fit. Trilogy’s brand, ID Skin by Integraderm, has been used in top spas and salons for more than 15 years, and together with my husband, Dr. Patrick Flaharty, we have spent the past two years upgrading the product line. Florida Academy will use Trilogy’s products, and Azul practitioners will provide experience in medical spa technology and practices.”
“By learning straight from the professionals at Azul, Florida Academy’s students will gain scientific training on these products, and how to relate to customers through high-quality skincare benefits and application,” adds Houseman.
