HELP CHANGE THE FUTURE
OF WOMEN SURGEONS
SkinCeuticals is committed to furthering the field of aesthetic medicine through evidence-based formulations and science. Through our experience working with doctors, we’ve learned that aesthetics has the potential to change more than just the appearance.
For people in underserved countries who suffer from burn injuries or congenital conditions, a change in their appearance can change their lives - enabling them to fully participate in their communities, attend school, and provide for their families.
Five billion people worldwide lack access to safe, timely surgical care.
Equality of medical training is essential to bridging this gap. Today, there are only 3 female surgeons for every 1 million people in under-served countries, often due to a lack of equal access to significant surgical training or obstacles to gaining acceptance in their field.
SkinCeuticals has partnered with ReSurge International, a global not-for-profit dedicated to empowering local doctors in order to increase access to reconstructive surgical care in developing countries.
about resurge international
ReSurge International provides life-changing surgical care that is safe, timely and affordable in developing countries, and develops surgical capacity to ensure the availability of year-round care. Founded in 1969 with Stanford University roots, ReSurge advances its mission in two ways: through surgical care and the ReSurge Global Training Program (RGTP).
ReSurge trains the next generation of reconstructive surgeons in Africa, Latin America and Asia; and works with them to create a sustainable care model; and together, they provide high-quality reconstructive surgical care to people living in poverty and in remote areas.

INTERNATIONAL BURN AWARENESS
JOIN US IN FEBRUARY AS WE SUPPORT INTERNATIONAL BURN AWARENESS MOTNH.
Every 5 seconds someone in the world is severely burned, with nearly all of them living in under-served countries where getting the care they need can be difficult, if not impossible. Burns are a leading cause for reconstructive surgery and without access to safe and timely surgical care, people can be left to live with severe disabilities that interfere with their capacity to live normal lives.
Through our work with ReSurge International, we are striving to make reconstructive surgical care accessible to those suffering from the results of these traumatic events.

HOW IT WORKS?
This partnership provides access to the most expert surgical training, leadership development, and mentor support to first-generation women reconstructive surgeons in underserved countries, and foster the building of essential networks required for safe surgical care.
Together we hope to change the landscape for women surgeons worldwide, enabling them to advance their careers and transform the lives of those in need of life-altering surgical care.
why it matters?
When women do better, the world does better. In a study of 100 countries, The World Bank found that every 1 percent increase in the proportion of women with a secondary education raises a country’s per capita income growth. These gains are even stronger when a society actively welcomes women into the workforce.
