As estheticians, we are licensed to work with the integument, treating it according to what we learned in school and what is allowed within our scope of practice. As a practicing esthetician with over 16 years of experience, I have heard my share of skepticism regarding product efficacy and the effectiveness of topical treatments as compared to more invasive modalities.
More estheticians and dermatologists than ever are embracing a gentler, less aggressive, and invasive approach to skin health, and their clients are thriving. Chronic conditions caused by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, such as eczema and dermatitis, are alleviated, and confidence is restored.
With all the constant advancements in our industry, estheticians have never been in a better position to achieve the best anti-aging results for our clients’ skin. There are endless choices of products and modalities available that promise to improve our bottom line, attract and retain new clientele, and gain a competitive edge over other skin care professionals in our area.
