On this episode of The Treatment Room, I’m joined by Bryan Johns, co-founder, President and CEO of iS Clinical. Since founding iS Clinical with Alec Call in 2000, Bryan has been at the center of the professional skincare industry and the brand’s growth into a globally recognized name.
We also talk about Icon Skincare, the new prestige skincare brand Bryan and Alec launched in June 2026, and the inspiration behind its connection to Hollywood’s Golden Age and legendary facialist Madam Renna.
In this episode, we get into:
