Introduction

As another year in aesthetic practice draws to a close, I hope that many of you are in a better business position, since the post-pandemic reopening, than you perhaps were in the thick of it during 2020. Looking forward to 2022, I think we can be grateful for many things and see a brighter future ahead of us all. To get you and your business ready for 2022, we can think of nothing more useful for our Members and those who are thinking of joining Consulting Room, than attendance at our delayed SMART Ideas event, now being held on Saturday 5th February 2022 in St Albans. With three parallel agendas and some hot topics to help you to protect and grow your business next year, it really is the not-to-be-missed business event. More details on what to expect later on in this issue of the magazine. Our Autumn issue focuses on skin peels, a somewhat forgotten aesthetic treatment in a world of energy-based devices, but you will be pleased to hear that peeling is alive and well and many of your industry colleagues have taken the time to write about peel products that they use in the clinic. We couldn't cover EVERY option, but we hope this gives you something to pique your interest in this long-standing treatment. We are always looking for contributors to future magazines, so if you have something to offer, please get in touch. We also could not do it without the help and support of our expert Editorial Board.
