Starting A Career In Medical Esthetics

Posted on: November 24th, 2016

medical estheticsMedical estheticians are skin care specialists with additional training in medical esthetics. A career in Medical Esthetics can be very rewarding and add a lead over the competition in an aesthetics career. Medical estheticians use minimally invasive cosmetic treatments to enhance a patients’ satisfaction with their physical appearance.  They usually assist dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons, doctors and spas in advanced skin treatments.

Topics we cover in our Medical Esthetics Training Program.

  • Laser Hair Removal– an intense, pulsating beam of light to remove unwanted hair.
  • Ablative & Non Ablative-an invasive and non-invasive laser.
  • Dermaplaning-is a method of exfoliation that removes off the top layer of dulling dead skin cells in order to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion.
  • Fractionated CO2-A highly effective anti-aging procedure, that can be used to correct mild to severe skin problems ranging from dark spots to deep wrinkles.
  • Micro-Needling-A treatment option in atrophic acne scars and for skin rejuvenation.
  • IPL for Pigmentation-used for various skin treatments for aesthetic and therapeutic purposes, including hair removal, photo rejuvenation (e.g. the treatment of skin pigmentation, sun damage, and thread veins).
  • LED Treatments-LED is a painless skin-care treatment that plumps up aging skin by boosting collagen production, and treats mild to moderate acne by killing the bacteria responsible for breakout
  • AND MORE!

There are a wide range of benefits of becoming an esthetician, but it first starts with a program that will give you the knowledge and confidence to help your clients. Below are some benefits in launching your own career as an Esthetician.

Working with People. Having the opportunity to work with people up close and personal helps to build lasting relationships and trust.

Always Something New. Each client and every skin type are different so it makes the every day exciting!

Flexible Schedules. Since your work is done by appointment, you have the benefits of scheduling appointments when it fits.

Many employment options. From salons to doctor’s offices there are many places of employment after you graduate. Here at USTA we also prepare you for just that with our Business classes.

Helping clients achieve skin goals. There is nothing more satisfying than to help a client with a particular skin issue. The gratification of knowing you were able to help someone will also create a life time client. As a medical esthetician, you have the privilege of helping dermatologists and doctors create overall plans to help clients regain confidence in their looks.

Our Aesthetics training is starting this November!

Transition Your Skin From Summer To Fall

Posted on: August 14th, 2016

fall skinAs the summer months are quickly coming to a close, transitioning your skin from summer to fall is crucial in keeping your skin looking and feeling its best! A change in season can drastically change how the skin behaves. When it turns cooler in temperature, less oil is produced by the skin creating a change in your skincare routine. Below are some tips on how to transition your skin from summer to fall.

  • Change your cleansing routine. Choosing a cleanser that is more mild yet offers incredible hydration is the best choice for fall. A good rule is to choose a cleanser that is non-drying and sulfate-free.
  • Choose a heavier day time moisturizer. During the summer months using a light daytime moisturizer is ok because the skin produces more oil. When it is cooler outside, our skin tends to dry out. Choosing a heavier day time moisturizer will help prevent moisture loss.
  • Continue using SPF. During the fall months the UVA rays (the ones that cause skin cancer and premature wrinkles) are just as strong. Choosing a moisturizer that has an SPF is key to help protect your skin!
  • Exfoliate. To brighten and repair the skin during the fall months, exfoliation is imperative. This removes dead skin cells that trap oil. In return, exfoliating helps with acne and the overall appearance of skin.
  • Return to Retinol. Use a serum retinol or retinol moisturizer in your skincare routine. This helps reduce the appearance of brown spots and wrinkles caused by the summer sun.
  • Use an alcohol free toner. This step is usually overlooked when it comes to a skincare routine. After cleansing, use a toner to wipe the skin clean and immediately follow with a serum and moisturizer. This will help keep the skin moisturized and well cleansed!

Here at USTA we teach all about the right skincare routine and products in our Aesthetics School. If you enjoyed this article, share it on Social Media using the hashtag #USTAblog
