Where can you take a liscense for skin care?? What do you do?? Is it like a dermatologist?? I'm so confused!!What does a skin care specialist/Esthetician do??
A Dermatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in diseases of the dermis (skin and subcutaneous tissue.)
A skin care specialist is someone with training in superficial skin care - they do not have the education or authority to diagnose or treat skin diseases (skin cancer, psoriasis, excema, moles, etc.) They are Estheticians only. Esthetics means appearance. An Esthetician is a specialist in making your external skin LOOK good. They are trained to assess skin conditioning, elasticity, pore size, etc, and provide non medical treatment to correct skin irregularities - facials, etc.What does a skin care specialist/Esthetician do??
they are more for like facial procedures, like ... laser or light chem peels... a derm. can do injections... such as juvaderm ... like i go to a derm once a yr to get all my freckles ck'd for skin cancer, i go to his esth. for ipl laser treatments... did i make it as clear as mud??? lol
