What Is an Esthetician?

What an Esthetician Can Do for Your Skin

An esthetician is a person who specializes in the beautification of the skin. Estheticians are not medical doctors; instead, they perform cosmetic skin treatments such as facials, superficial chemical peels, body treatments, and waxing.

Here's why you may want to pay a visit to this skin care professional, and how to become an esthetician yourself, if you're so inclined.

Services Offered by an Esthetician

Although many estheticians specialize in certain areas, and every spa will have different offerings on their menu, here are some of the fundamental treatments estheticians provide.

Facials

It's an esthetician's signature treatment: the facial. The basic facial consists of a deep cleansing, exfoliating treatment, mask and facial steam, finished off with a moisturizing product. You may also be treated to a facial massage, arm and shoulder massage, and application of specialty products. Facials are tailored to suit your skin's needs and your preferences. Every esthetician has her own unique method as well.

Extractions

Also a part of most facial treatments are blemish extractions. Your esthetician manually removes non-inflamed breakouts, like blackheads, and cleanses blockages of dead skin cells and oil from your pores. This makes an immediate improvement in the look and feel of the skin, and can help prevent inflamed blemishes from developing in the future.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a specialty treatment offered by some estheticians. During a treatment, superfine crystals (or a diamond-tipped wand) is passed over the skin, gently removing dead cells. The skin immediately feels softer, with fine lines and minor hyperpigmentation improving after a series of treatments.

How to Choose an Esthetician

To get results you're happy with, and enjoy your time in the treatment bed, you'll need to find the right esthetician for you. When choosing an esthetician, keep these points in mind.

  • Look for someone who is knowledgeable in the area that's most important to you (i.e. acne treatment, anti-aging procedures, chemicals peels, etc.) Before booking your appointment, ask the esthetician if she has any specialties or which treatment she does most often. If you're looking for anti-aging treatments but the esthetician spends the bulk of her day doing body treatments, she may not have the experience to help you get the best results.
  • Find someone you feel comfortable with. Nearly every spa treatment requires some level of undress. You should feel at ease with your esthetician, and she should place your comfort level first and foremost.
  • Consider the salon's hours. Are they open during times that are convenient for you? Also ask when the esthetician is available, since many are self-employed and set their own hours independent of salon hours.
  • Ask friends and family for referrals and recommendations.

Signs of A Good Esthetician

  • She is impeccably groomed, warm and friendly. (Not all estheticians are female, but the majority are.)
  • She is a stickler for cleanliness and sanitation. She keeps a clean table and washes her hands before she begins touching your face. If you see a dirty environment or sticks in a messy wax pot, that's not a good sign.
  • The esthetician gives you a relaxing facial customized to your skin. She can do extractions without causing too much discomfort and is responsive to your pain threshold.
  • She can answer any questions you have about what he’s doing and why.
  • The good esthetician follows your lead in terms of how much “chat” there is. It’s your time!
  • She asks about your home skin care routine and advises you on how to take care of your skin between facials. She advises you on what products are best suited for your skin without being pushy.
  • A good esthetician recognizes skin problems that require a dermatologist. If you have a problem that needs a medical doctor, the esthetician lets you know.
