Can cosmetologists give esthetic treatments?
February 242010
Such as facials, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, laser and light therapy, mask therapy, non-therapeutic massage, body wraps, tweezing, waxing and makeup application?
Esthetics is just a branch off of cosmetology. Cosmetologists can do everything an esthetician can. However, further licensing is needed to perform any kind of massage on the back. Cosmetologists/estheticians can massage the face, neck, top of shoulders, arms, hands, lower leg, and feet only. More schooling and a license will also be needed for laser therapy for both cosmetologists and estheticians. As for facials, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, mask therapy, body wraps, tweezing, waxing, and makeup, YES, we can do them all.
