At Atelier Esthetique we offer a 2-day class where students learn through lecture and hands-on practice how to perform chemical peels safely and maximize the treatment benefits for clients.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, chemical peels have ranked in the top 5 most cosmetic minimally invasive procedures over the last several years. So as a licensed esthetician, if your “toolkit,” or list of services offered doesn’t come with an expertise in chemical peel services, you are likely missing out on a growing base of clients.
When performing chemical peels, you must follow the rules and regulations of your State Board of Cosmetology and practice within the scope of your state’s esthetician license. As a licensed esthetician, NYS limits you to light and moderate peels.
At Atelier Esthetique we offer a 2-day class where students learn through lecture and hands-on practice how to perform chemical peels safely and maximize the treatment benefits for clients. Upon successful completion of the class, students will receive a NYS-approved certificate with the curriculum code.
What You Will Learn
Chemical peels are acid solutions applied to the epidermis that dissolve the outermost layer of the skin allowing it to peel off as the days pass. Ideal for treating skin conditions and imperfections, chemical peels are an excellent treatment for melasma, acne, sun damage, enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles.
Chemical peels are often referred as chemical exfoliation and epidermal exfoliation. In this class students will learn how to use glycolic, salicylic acid, Jessner’s, retinol blends and enzymes. This class will also cover an array of topics including:
Eligibility and Requirements
Students must hold a New York State esthetician license or other professional licensing, including Cosmetologists (or equivalent professional governing body designation), Licensed Registered Nurse (RN), Licensed Practicing Nurse (LPN), Physicians’ Assistant (PA), Physician, or Massage Therapist.
Exceptions may be made for graduate students in the above fields or in their last quarter of study.
Esthetics and cosmetology schools often get lumped together as a single field of practice, but the differences are vast. In a grand sense, esthetics does fall under the umbrella of cosmetology, but esthetics is primarily focused on skincare, while cosmetology involves haircare and beyond.
The training and educational requirements for each path are also quite different, and your career potential can vary greatly. Learn the differences in our article now!
What Separates Cosmetics And Esthetics
Cosmetology is the art of beautifying hair, skin, and nails. Esthetics, on the other hand, is all about treating the skin and enhancing its beauty and health.
A cosmetologist mainly focuses on and studies hair care and beautification, while an esthetician performs skin treatments specifically. Esthetics is a branch of cosmetology, but it requires its own license to work in a spa.
Difference In Training
The training requirements for estheticians and cosmetologists are quite different as well. While it can vary from state to state, in NY, Estheticians are required to take a 600-hour course in order to qualify for the state licensure exam.
The training covers everything from skin anatomy to various conditions to forms of treatment. Here at Atelier Esthetique, we offer classes to beginners and already licensed estheticians looking to learn new skills.
Cosmetology training requirements in NY involve a 1000-hour program focusing mainly on hairstyling and haircare.
Classes at some cosmetology schools focus exclusively on the fundamentals of hair while ignoring the skin entirely.
If you have passion for skin and skincare, a career in esthetics is the way to go for sure.
Differences In Careers
If you go to a cosmetology school, there are options open to you that could open plenty of doors. If you’re interested in working at or owning a salon, cosmetics is the ideal career path.
Other cosmetologists work as makeup artists or as private hair stylists for events such as weddings and photoshoots.
A career in esthetics, on the other hand, provides a much wider range of skills and possibilities. Estheticians work in spas, operate their own businesses, and expand their focus into working at medical spas where treatments go even deeper.
Estheticians can also work as specialized technicians in body hair lasering and removal. With the projected job growth rate for the skincare and beauty industry much faster than average, now is an exciting time to enter this field. At Atelier, our 600-hr esthetics licensing program can be completed in as little as 4 months – so entry into this career field is fast!
Differences In Customers
Customers obviously can vary massively, but most people who seek a cosmetologist are looking for beauty care services and styling. In contrast, customers for esthetics often see face masks, skin peels, hair removal, and more.
Estheticians also are sought after by people looking to treat their acne and facial scarring.Regarding makeup, both estheticians and cosmetologists are qualified and licensed for makeup application.
