What Can Estheticians Do?

Estheticians focus on cosmetic treatments and  is the practice of skin care and related skin beautification. This can be by the means of a facial, body treatment, waxing, or even makeup application. Estheticians also are able to analyze skin for treatment, skin conditions, and be able to give advice on ways to care for different skin types, and what to eat and drink for the best skin. 

A licensed esthetician is a person who specializes in the beautification of skin. Estheticians are not medical healthcare providers; performing cosmetic treatments such as facials, makeup artistry, waxing, and superficial chemical peels to enhance a client’s natural beauty.
