The Difference Between Esthetic and Aesthetic

Estheticians and Aestheticians are both licensed skin care specialists. The words get interchanged so often, it’s fairly common that the terms are interchangeable. However, the technical difference is important to know. 

Estheticians focus on the cosmetic practice of caring for one’s skin. Included are facials, makeup, skin treatment, and hair removal. As well as being able to analyze skin for treatment, skin conditions, being able to give advice on ways to care for different skin types, being skin care specialists, and what to eat and drink for the best skin. 

Aestheticians' roles include laser hair removal, skin resurfacing and teeth whitening. Their titles can include medical, clinical, or paramedical (depending on state regulations). 

 At the Aveda Institute esthetician school, we incorporate skin care, facials, body treatments, hair removal, makeup application, business development, wellness, and retail knowledge.

The job market for Estheticians is expected to grow by 14% by 2024. With new job opportunities popping up all the time, the need for estheticians is not dying out any time soon. With an esthetician license from Aveda Institute, you can pursue career opportunities in a Day spa, Salon spa, Retreat center, International resort, cosmetic counter, as an educator, or even own your own business!
