To kick things off, we’ve answered some of the most common questions about aesthetician services:
Aesthetician services are professional skin treatments designed to enhance your skin’s health and appearance. These services can include facials, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and more. At Essential Dermatology, we tailor all our treatments to meet your unique skin needs and goals. From tackling acne to reducing the signs of aging, or simply maintaining glowing skin, our team has your back!
Think of aesthetician services as the foundation of skin health, providing treatments like facials and exfoliation to maintain a radiant complexion. Dermatologist treatments, on the other hand, tackle more complex medical skin issues, such as eczema, psoriasis, or skin cancer. At Essential Dermatology, Dr. Michael Krathen, an experienced dermatologist, works hand in hand with our aestheticians to offer a holistic approach to skincare.
An experienced aesthetician assists with a variety of skin concerns, including acne, dryness, uneven texture, dullness, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines. Our aestheticians at Essential Dermatology are equipped to create personalized treatment plans to address your specific needs. With expert care and state-of-the-art techniques, you leave each appointment feeling both refreshed and confident.
Yes! At Essential Dermatology, we understand how to work with sensitive skin, tailoring treatments to ensure they are as gentle and effective as possible. Before starting any aesthetician service, we discuss your skin type, concerns, and sensitivities to create a customized plan just for you.
The frequency of your visits will depend on your goals and the condition of your skin. For general maintenance, we recommend scheduling a service every 4 – 6 weeks. If you’re targeting specific concerns, such as acne or pigmentation, our team will suggest a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Absolutely! At Essential Dermatology, we believe that combining aesthetician services with the expertise of a cosmetic dermatologist is the best way to achieve stunning results. Dr. Krathen collaborates closely with our aestheticians to provide a comprehensive approach to skincare. Whether you are visiting us for medical treatments or pampering yourself, you can benefit from our teamwork and expertise.
