The United States Board of Labor Statistics reports that the demand for estheticians will grow 17% from 2019 to 2029. Many of the “baby boomers” and older population are outnumbering the younger population, increasing the need for these professions due to the desire to look younger. Estheticians have the potential to not only help create healthy beautiful skin but are skilled at many other health benefiting services.
An esthetician is a licensed professional who has completed 200-1,500 hours of schooling, participated in an apprenticeship, and taken and passed their state board through the Board of Cosmetology or Health Department. Their skills strictly pertain to cosmetic procedures of the skin and are not able to diagnose, prescribe medication, or treat skin conditions. Estheticians are knowledgeable in advanced technologies and corrective products to help the skin look and feel better.

Estheticians
are also trained in a variety of specialties. Individual treatments require a certain amount of time and experience to perform and others even require a certification to use certain products or machines.
Estheticians help enhance the skin by using certain products, treatments, or tools. Many treatments focus on the face but some estheticians include treatment of the skin throughout the body. During an appointment with this professional they will go over your skin’s health history, examine your skin closely, determine your skin-type, and make recommendations for services.
They are also skilled in providing clients with proper skin care education such as customizing a skincare routine, proper ways to cleanse and exfoliate the skin, how to keep skin hydrated, as well as sun and heat protection techniques. Below are a list of common services estheticians practice while some require additional training and certifications.
Estheticians work in numerous locations like salons, plastic surgery offices, Dermatology offices, spas, and med spas. To determine the right esthetician for your needs you need to do research and ask questions.
