Lights, laughter, and lasers on sebum?! 🤔 Absolutely!
Join us for our first-ever Skin and Joints Podcast episode live at Fall Clinical 2024 in sunny Las Vegas.

The big reveal of Clascoterone cream’s impact on sebum production (yep, they used a “sebum meter!”)
Brand-new data showing significant improvements in both inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne lesions

If you’re tired of your patients asking, “Doc, how do I zap this shine?”—this is the episode for you. Because (despite the famous saying) what happens in Vegas definitely won’t stay in Vegas this time. Tune in for the scoop on everything from sebum science to top-secret bunker restaurants. 🍸
