PRESTON RXTRACTOR®️ TRAINING
Douglas Preston, 42-year licensed California Esthetician and business expert, created the Preston Acne Pros Congestive Acne Therapist Certification Program for ambitious skincare professionals who are seeking to elevate knowledge and practical skill in this challenging acne condition. We chose to focus on congestive acne as it is the most common type Estheticians encounter in their practices. It’s also one of the most successful for achieving improvement when professional and client work together in a comprehensive program of salon treatments and correct home care products. Well-trained acne therapists can realize a busy and lucrative business when acne treatment is the centerpiece of their service offerings.
The Preston Acne Pros Congestive Acne Therapist Certification Program combines a profound understanding of the causes and influences in congestive acne, comedone identification and extraction training, as well as extremely valuable business insights to help Estheticians grow and profit from their practices. This educational experience is especially designed to build professional confidence as an acne therapist. Our certification program is not intended to be the only acne education a skincare professional will need, but a great starting point or compliment to other classes and training. Many of our attendees have certifications from a variety of popular resources, but find our content uniquely refreshing and insightful. After all, learning is a process, not a final destination.
While we use Preston Skincare products in our training, the results Estheticians can achieve through the Preston Method© are in no way limited by preferred product choice. The techniques are compatible with virtually any professional skincare line.
The Preston Acne Pros Congestive Acne Therapist Certification Program includes the following:
• Video training: Mastering Congestive Acne—Analysis and Treatment
• Video training: Mastering the Art of Comedone Extractions
• 1 Preston Comedone Rxtractor®️
• Video training: The Client Consult Class (to improve consultation skill)
• Video training: The Retail Sales Class (to build retail sales confidence)
• All class materials
• Certificate of Completion
• Membership in our Facebook Group "Preston Rxtractor®️ Users Circle" where you can post any questions regarding your acne training or business for expert answers directly from Douglas Preston
See what Estheticians say about our Certification:
"The Mastering Congestive Acne course is a must for estheticians that specialize in acne! Preston does such a wonderful job at explaining different acne lesions, how to differentiate them, and why removing closed and open comedones is vital factor in keeping inflammation down. Unlike other acne programs on the market, Preston is teaching you how to treat acne, not just use a product line. Preston gives very useful tips for the treatment room and goes into detail about how to properly extract acne. He has a unique perspective on client compliance and what to really focus on when meeting with your client.
Preston is offering an aspect of acne that no other program does, the only thing you can control when it comes to treating acne is your client in your treatment room! He gives a lot of business advice, talks about ingredients in depth, and goes over mistakes estheticians often make when handling acne: making promises about the outcome.
If you’re feeling like you lack the knowledge or confidence when treating acne, you really should invest in this course! I am so happy I did."

"I learned so much from yesterday’s Congestive Acne course and can’t wait for the next training. Douglas Preston has built an immensely successful business, with the help of his fantastic wife Cathy. He loves the services he performs and has built long-lasting relationships with his clientele. I really respect and admire his overall approach to business and will take his tips along with me as I grow in this industry." —Amy
"I loved the Congestive Acne class so much. It gave me so much more confidence using the Rxtractor and with guiding acne clients. I used to be afraid of both and now I look forward to helping relieve congestion and advising my acne clients. I have a new 13 yr old coming on Sunday with mom and I know what to do. I also left feeling comfortable raising my prices and I have been selling way more toner and eye creams. Thank you Douglas and Cathy for an amazing day in Los Gatos." —Caitlin
