Inspire Having a basic understanding of esthetics in the medical environment can lead the way to recommending services and to future career opportunities. 2 Following this lesson, you’ll be able to: • Identify the esthetician’s role in a cosmetic medical practice • Explain the job tasks an esthetician may perform • Describe what cosmetic medical procedures are performed in a medical office or medi-spa • Summarize what complications may happen after cosmetic medical procedures 3 The market for cosmetic medical procedures is valued at over $20 billion. It is projected to grow to over $22 billion worldwide by 2025. This represents an opportunity for well-trained estheticians to succeed. 4 The role of an esthetician is to support the physician in providing care for the patient, increase clinic revenue and help patients with self-care. Every office or medi-spa has internal guidelines and specific procedures dictated by the physician or another licensed medical professional. When you are working in this environment, you will be working under medical supervision. This job description is quite different from the job you’d perform in a salon/spa. 5 6 The working environments you may see in the cosmetic medical field are: Dermatology office • Esthetics: Facial treatments, waxing, makeup, device use (microdermabrasion, etc.), superficial chemical exfoliation (peels) • Medical: Lasers/IPL, medical chemical peels, class 3-4 devices, injectables Cosmetic surgery office • Esthetics: Pre-op facial treatments, lymphatic drainage, device use, hair removal, superficial chemical exfoliation (peels) • Medical: Pre- and post-op care, laser use, medical chemical peels, injectables Medical spa • Esthetics: Facial treatments, chemical peels, hair removal, device use, makeup, superficial chemical exfoliation (peels) • Medical: Lasers/IPL, injectables, medical chemical peels Wellness center • Esthetics: Facial treatments, hair removal, body treatments, makeup, superficial chemical exfoliation (peels) • Medical: Lasers/IPL, medical chemical peels 7 Technical Skills • Chemical peels • Laser/IPL hair removal • Non-ablative laser/IPL use • Advanced device use • Esthetic device use • Skin assessment, treatment planning and post-op care • Advanced facial treatments 8 Professional Skills • Medical office procedures • Front desk procedures • Professional development • Personal development 9 Job tasks used within the medical spa/office are different than those employed in the salon/spa. Spa services such as facials and hair removal are part of the services offered, but confidentiality and the way services are scheduled will be different. Understanding the difference between in-scope and out-of-scope services is essential. 10
