Who are Paramedical Estheticians?

Paramedical Estheticians (a.k.a Medical Aestheticians) are licensed skin care specialists that focus on advanced treatment options for individuals with troubled skin. As licensed professionals in medical aesthetics, their most popular skill set is to cleanse and treat the face and body with advanced technology to enhance a person’s overall appearance.

When working in the service industry, a paramedical esthetician will perform a wide variety of tasks like:

  • Perform skin analysis for clients

  • Prescribe treatment plans and products regimens for healthier skin

  • Wax unwanted hair

  • Prep and cleanse the skin before makeup applications

  • Apply makeup and eyelash extensions

  • Coach clients on how to care for their skin at home

  • And so much more!

However, the service industry is just one nugget of the beauty world. Paramedical Estheticians can be found in dermatology offices, burn centers, long-term care facilities, blogging/vlogging, education, product launches, marketing, advertising, and in the faces of entrepreneurs worldwide -- advocating and creating the future of skincare.

Medical Aesthetician School

Paramedical estheticians (a.k.a medical aestheticians) help clients with skin conditions, skin traumas (i.e., burns, concealing redness, post-surgery care), and aging skin to heal and rejuvenate the appearance of the skin.

 

Paramedical estheticians typically work in a more clinical setting than standard estheticians. For example, they can work in dermatologist offices, oncology, plastic surgery offices, and medical spas.

Our Paramedical Skin Care programs are dual programs. First, they include our traditional skincare programs and build upon that foundation to prepare students with the skills necessary to be employed in a medical or advanced clinical skincare environment.

Join us to gain the skills you need to work in an ever-growing beauty and wellness industry.
