Some names make you stop scrolling. These five belong on your calendar. 👀

Kristina Collins. Lisa Swanson. Elizabeth Kiracofe. David Cotter. Diego Ruiz DaSilva.

They’re joining the Elevate-Derm Fall faculty, bringing the conversations dermatology PAs and NPs need more time to have.

How do we make JAK risk discussions more useful for patients? What changes when pregnancy enters the treatment conversation? And where does AI actually fit in dermatology?

Then there’s the business of building a practice you want to work in. Yes, we’re going there, too.

Meet five of the voices behind the agenda, and tell us which topic you want us to preview first. 👇

📍 Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort & Spa | Austin, TX
November 4–8, 2026
Up to 27 CME/CE hours

Early Bird registration is $199 through October 12. Full agenda and registration at the link in our bio. by @drkiracofemd

Dr. Elizabeth Kiracofe kept it real across both days of the STRAND 2 Day Certification Course!
On day 1 she spoke on advocacy. What it actually means to speak up for your clients when something is not right.

Day 2 she broke down infections and dermatitis of the scalp and made one thing clear. Seborrheic dermatitis is linked to an overgrowth of yeast on the scalp.

This is why guessing is not enough. This is why education matters.

Live from the exhibit hall at #AAD2026! 🎉🔬✨

🎙️ Nothing like demoing in a glass box in front of hundreds of your colleagues to keep you on your toes! 😄 I had the absolute best time at the @Aerolase booth showing what the Neo 1064nm quick pulse laser can do — safe, effective, precise, and built for ALL skin types.

Laser + live demo + a packed house = my kind of afternoon. ⚡🔥👩🏼‍⚕️

If you missed it, stay tuned — more content coming soon. 💙🎬

Who is your person (Dermatologist)? Tag them below!!

It’s important to choose your dermatologist wisely.

Hair loss is not just about treatment.
It is about trust, advocacy, and knowing who is guiding the process.

Dr. Elizabeth Kiracofe is one of the dermatologists working alongside S.T.R.A.N.D. to bridge the gap between stylists and dermatologists.

She will also be teaching at S.T.R.A.N.D. Chicago on April 18–19!
Tomorrow night we are going live to talk about the emotional side of hair loss and why advocacy matters for patients and professionals alike.

Join us.

The S.T.R.A.N.D. Network dermatologist Q&A panels are the backbone of the certification course because stylists deserve real answers, not watered-down soundbites.
Our dermatologists travel city to city, sit through the full education, and stay late on purpose. Not for photos. Not for titles. For questions that actually matter in the chair.
What inflammation really looks like.
When tension becomes damage.
Why certain styles delay results after treatment.
What to stop doing immediately.
What is safe to continue.
How to protect your client’s money and progress ‼️
This is the part most programs skip. We do not.
Stylists get to ask direct questions, hear real case examples, and leave understanding the why, not just the rules. That is how you stop guessing. That is how you stay in your lane without selling your clients short.
Chicago is next.
Dermatologists in the room.
The Payment plan for Chicago is available because this level of access should not be optional.
If you are ready to stop relying on social media myths and start moving with medical clarity, this is your room. Comment Chicago now! taken in Chicago, Illinois by @drkiracofemd

Spreading Holiday Cheer in Chicago! 🎁✨

Yesterday, our Chicago wrapping party brought together an amazing crew of volunteers, sponsors, and partners to surprise students and teachers with holiday magic. 💛

From carefully wrapping gifts to sharing laughs and stories, every ribbon tied and package prepared reminded us of the power of community and generosity. These moments set the stage for joy that will light up classrooms across the city.

We are deeply grateful to our incredible sponsors for supporting both Holiday Magic Express and Experience, and to @comed for allowing us to use their space to wrap gifts.

Special thanks to: @molinahealth, @meijerstores , @oldnationalbancorp, @shiraleahchicago , @pepsi , @panerabread , @wbaillinois , @expmkeatwantablecafe , @benefitcosmetics , @campbells @bananarepublicfactory , Universal Carpets, @thegwenchicago , @citycruises , @pensketruck , C&G Construction, @uic_wbb , @suelevate , @raisingcanes, and the @daisieproject .

And, of course, we couldn’t do this without our volunteers and partners—your dedication and energy bring this magic to life every year.

Holiday Magic isn’t just about gifts—it’s about coming together, building connections, and uplifting students, teachers, and the entire Chicago community.

✨ We can’t wait to see the smiles these gifts will bring this season! taken in Comed Chicago Training Center by @drkiracofemd
