Estheticians, also called skin care therapists who work at salons, day spas, and med-spas. They are trained in the cosmetic treatment of the skin and perform various procedures including facials, body treatments and waxing. Most estheticians offer a variety of specialty spa treatments and all estheticians must be licensed.
What an Esthetician Can Do:
Give facial treatments, which may include deep cleansing, exfoliation, and facial massage
Extract or cleanse non-inflamed pore blockages and blackheads
Advise on the proper care of your skin
Recommend appropriate skin care products, including over-the-counter acne treatments
Perform certain specialty treatments, like microdermabrasion and light chemical peels
Estheticians are not doctors. They can't diagnose skin conditions, prescribe medications or suggest treatment for any skin condition outside of cosmetic products. They can, however, perform treatments that are complementary to a doctor's regime. Some estheticians may also work closely with dermatologists, either in-office or through a referral system.
Esthetics is a fast growing part of the health and beauty industry. With all the confusion and conflicting information on skincare and products available to the average consumer, it can be overwhelming. An esthetician can help you cut through all of this and help you understand what products are right for your skin.
