The Hands Behind the Syringe Matter (Sabrina Mercer standing at AMI building)

Your results depend on more than just the product; they depend on the injector. At SKNCRAFT, we believe precision, experience, and education are what transform a treatment into an art form.


Recently, I attended the Patient Safety & Advocacy Course with the Allergan Medical Institute in Atlanta. This two-day immersive training brought together providers from across the country to focus on one essential goal: elevating patient safety and standards of care in aesthetics.




Experience. Education. Integrity.

Achieving natural, safe results requires more than mastering a technique. It demands a deep understanding of anatomy, an ethical approach to patient care, and a dedication to continuous education.


True artistry in aesthetics is built on integrity, knowing when less is more, and always prioritizing the patient’s well-being over trends.







Patient Safety Comes First. Always.

At the core of every great injector is a foundation of patient-first values. Education grounded in evidence-based practices, collaboration, and research is what drives higher standards and safer outcomes for our patients.


Aesthetics should never sacrifice safety for beauty. The two must exist together, harmoniously.






Learning Beyond the Glamour.


Learning beyond glamour in medical aesthetics, a foundation of key values and patient focuses as a provider.


Aesthetics will always carry an element of beauty and allure—but beneath the surface lies the responsibility of safety, ethics, and patient-centered care.


This course was a reminder that continuing education isn’t optional—it’s essential. Every new technique, every safety discussion, and every case study deepens our understanding and sharpens our ability to deliver natural, refined results.





It’s Never Just a Syringe

True mastery comes from experience, continual education, and an unwavering commitment to patient care.


The syringe is merely a tool; it is the knowledge, anatomical understanding, and skilled hands behind it that truly make a difference.


I left this course inspired to continue refining my skills and raising the standard of care I provide to my patients each day at SKNCRAFT.
