Imagine relaxing in a soothing, softly lit room and allowing all your stress to melt away as you receive not only nurturing but healing facial care. A skilled esthetician at PuraVida on Main can provide this experience for you! It is often believed that a facial is only for the relaxing experience, but that is absolutely not the case! Estheticians can play a vital and important role in addressing ongoing skin problems and issues such as aging, acne, or eczema.
If you are struggling with a skin issue, it can be hard to determine when to see a dermatologist or an esthetician. It’s important to know that dermatologists are largely trained to detect and treat diseases of the skin. With a medical degree and several years of training in a residency program, dermatologists are highly trained professionals who can help diagnose and treat skin, hair, and nail diseases and conditions, write prescriptions, perform surgery, and create treatment plans. As a result, dermatologists are often the first stop for clients seeking care for acne, aging, or other skin care issues. While this is a critical piece of addressing skin issues, estheticians can step in to help heal, nourish, and maintain a skin care regimen that can be an essential piece in completing the puzzle of skin care problems. In fact, many dermatologists have licensed and trained estheticians on staff to help address these specific problems and to provide ongoing care as needed by the client. Generally speaking, a dermatologist is seen when needed for acute care, while a good esthetician can come in handy for maintenance and healing.
Our experienced and highly trained estheticians will evaluate your skin and create a customized skincare plan unique to you and the issues you are facing. Hand selecting from our top-quality organic, natural and healing product lines, you will receive care to address the unique challenges you might be facing as evaluated by the PuraVida on Main professionals.
By way of information, an esthetician must:
* Earn an associate’s degree or graduate from an accredited cosmetology program
* Complete the testing to earn a state-issued license
Some choose to pursue a higher education level at a medical esthetician school or they may receive an Associate’s degree in cosmetology with an emphasis in esthetics. Medical esthetician schools offer courses that help students more deeply explore skin disorders, hair removal, and nutrition. Most programs require students to complete internships or apprenticeships to gain experience under the tutelage of licensed professionals. Students will gain clinical practice in facial massage techniques, skin analysis, and product application. This training and experience is key to helping a professional help address skin issues you may be facing and can be a part of a completely holistic approach to healing.
