What is an Aesthetician?

Aestheticians are licensed skin care professionals dedicated to helping individuals improve the overall health and appearance of their skin.  Medical aestheticians are more specialized licensed professionals who work under the supervision of a licensed physician, such as in a dermatologist’s office. In addition to facials and extractions, medical aestheticians perform more intensive skin care treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser rejuvenation, vein therapy, wrinkle reduction and other treatments that enhance skin due to aging or illness.  West Houston Dermatology boasts two medical aestheticians on staff who perform IPL, photo facials, chemical peels, laser hair removal, Cool Sculpting, and microdermabrasion.  In addition to the medical treatments, the aestheticians at West Houston Dermatology are highly trained in using Jane Iredale makeup.  Dr. Stephen Mahoney holds his medical staff to high standards, so you can rest assured that the aesthetician treatments will be ones you can have confidence about.  To learn more about our aesthetician services, contact West Houston Dermatology today.
