What is a clinical esthetician?
A clinical esthetician is a highly trained skin care specialist who offers preventive skin care and treatments to optimize healthy skin. He or she is trained to detect skin problems that may require medical attention. An esthetician is also trained to provide deep cleansing facials and acid peels. Additionally, she or she is able to recommend appropriate skin care products and assists clients in coping with the cosmetic side effects of many dermatological drugs. Clinical estheticians work in both salon and clinical settings. They are trained to prepare skin for cosmetic surgery and to provide post-operative treatment that promotes healing and helps maintain the benefits of the surgery.
