In the United States:
The NCEA is the National Coalition of Estheticians Association. It is the position of the NCEA that under the topic of Use of Esthetician Titles (2006):
"Estheticians represent themselves according to their state licensed title, as designated by their state licensing board or regulatory agency. Estheticians must not promote themselves otherwise or allow any employer to market them otherwise."

The NCEA has taken the position that the term “medical esthetician” can be misleading to clients as it implies some level of specialized medical knowledge.

Estheticians working in the medical field do not have MEDICAL training of any kind. Esthetician training and esthetician licensing varies from state to state, and at this time there is no such license for medical esthetician.

While you must be licensed as a general esthetician to practice, no specialized license currently exists for a "medical esthetician". If you want to become certified in "paramedical esthetics", the most standard route involves obtaining a general esthetics license and seeking additional training and CERTIFICATIONS in areas of interest. Every state has their own set of laws and rules that you must abide by.

There are several companies, schools, and associations that offer “certifications” to estheticians upon completion of a course that has a "paramedical" or "advanced" focus.

Estheticians may take these further trainings that allow them to work in a clinical setting where they can perform more specialized treatments.

Although working in clinical settings, estheticians are still bound to perform only the services allowed under their state's licensing laws that govern the practice of esthetics. This means the work they perform is limited to non-invasive procedures.

Regardless of state location or clinic type, no esthetician anywhere may perform Botox, dermal filling, or anything that is considered “medical” rather than “cosmetic.”

To practice in medical clinics, hospitals, healthcare clinics, cosmetic surgery clinics, medi-spas, or dermatology offices, estheticians will pursue specialized training in advanced, and/or paramedical procedures.

Working in these types of locations, estheticians perform their work under the guidance and instruction of licensed healthcare professionals. Their typical duties differ substantially from that of spa-based estheticians.

What makes this type of work unique is that it is performed on patients in a clinical setting alongside medical professionals who may recommend non-invasive skincare procedures for medical purposes, or for strictly cosmetic reasons. Hence the term "paramedical" esthetics, as it is ALONGSIDE medical professionals.

These specialized advanced training courses can include:
•Permanent makeup
•Pre- and post-operative skincare/care to patients, which may include lymphatic drainage and wound care
•Learning diseases of the skin, such as acne, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis
•Specialized treatments designed to reduce scarring and hyperpigmentation
•Work with trauma patients, cancer patients, or burn survivors

So even though you may have taken many advanced education courses, received many certifications in "paramedical" services, work in a medical setting, you are still only the title that your state has given you. You are not a "medical esthetician", you are an esthetician trained in "paramedical" services.

I am happy to share I received both of my Pfizer vaccines! Yay!
As of April 1st the Arkansas state mandate to wear masks has been lifted. Even though this is the case I will continue to wear my mask and do everything in my power to keep the public safe. I love you all!

Skin care gift sets, starter sets, gift certificates, I have you covered! Text 479-659-8162 to claim yours.

Congratulations Jones Family! This was so much fun! Thank you to all that participated!💗

Look at this beauty! Making this girl's life a little easier with a brow wax, brow tint, and lash tint. Gotta love when someone is so happy they send you a selfie later.

Massage is just one of the mood boosting benefits of facials. Massage boosts circulation, softens tension, lifting and toning the complexion.

I had a client text me the afternoon of her facial saying that "even my husband noticed I was in a better mood when I got home". Now more than ever we need to take care of ourselves.

Thank you my loves for the quality time allowing me to work on your beautiful skin and achieving your skin care goals together! 🧡

Ever wonder how I keep my pearly whites so white? Pre-filled L.E.D. whitening kit. Self administered system. 20 minute treatment will brighten your smile from 2-6 shades in one session.

Look at this before and after a series of 4 peels!!!

The Yam and Pumpkin Enzyme Peel accelerates the exfoliation process to peel away dead skin cells, reducing pigmentation, fine lines, and sun damage. The natural enzyme content increases collagen production to leave skin firm and radiant with increased electricity.

Three things I would like to draw your attention to.

• First you can see clearly how much more shallow that old acne scar is.

•2nd look how much lighter the sun damage is

•3rd Notice how much more shallow her nasolabial folds, "smile lines" are. Skin looks more plump and bright. All these things add up to more youthful, flawless skin and yes in her next series we will make even more progress!

I change out my inventory with the seasons. As we enter fall and winter, humidity levels drop and our skin's moisture levels can plummet. This is a good time to reevaluate our skincare regimen and make sure your skin is getting everything it needs. Let's talk! I love to help whether it's at your next appointment or a free virtual consultation.

Happy 1st day of fall y'all! I have to celebrate with this beautiful fall color. The new Turmeric Energizing Treatment will warm the skin with pulsing heat, open the pores, boost circulation, and awaken the sences! The glow you will have after your facial!😍😍😍

•Turmeric: potent antioxidant that visibly brightens the appearance of skin and reduces the look of puffiness 

•Kaolin Clay: deeply cleans and softens the skin, gently draws out impurities without stripping moisture from the skin

•Zeolite: exfoliates deeply; releases energy upon contact with water resulting in the skin feeling warm and invigorated; improves the skin’s appearance by smoothing and tightening; evens the look of skin tone
