A medical aesthetician performs specialized treatments on your skin in a clinical setting. Aestheticians in Issaquah often assist the professional medical team and provide pre-and post-operative care, though their roles can vary depending on the work setting. Here at Miller Family Dermatology, we have numerous aestheticians looking forward to meeting you and making your dermatology dreams a reality.

What is an Aesthetician?

It is common to confuse an aesthetician for a cosmetologist. Cosmetologists focus on the application of cosmetics but are rarely in a medical setting, whereas aestheticians are also qualified to apply cosmetics and provide beauty treatments. Yet their expertise consists of a much broader range of skin care services or procedures. Aestheticians are trained and licensed specialists working with other medical professionals to perform laser and light-based procedures.

What Does an Aesthetician Do in a Medical Setting?

A medical setting does not have to be a dermatologist, it can also be a cosmetic or plastic surgery practice, a specialty clinic, or a hospital. In this setting, aestheticians advise patients on skincare prior to a procedure, coordinate patient care with the medical team, and educate patients about their skin. It is vital for aestheticians to be communicative with their patients to ensure they are calm and educated about their procedures.

What Does an Aesthetician Do in a Dermatologist’s Office?

Aestheticians work to minimize the visual remnants of medical conditions. For example, it is common to see an aesthetician about acne, hyperpigmentation, eczema, and more. You can find that they are also responsible for performing laser treatments and  vascular lesion reductions.
