Age, accidents, or various ailments can leave visible traces on the skin. Beyond the discomfort, they lead over time to a decrease in self-confidence, to the diminution of social and even professional life because the face is the most visible business card of a person, regardless of gender, social or material position. In addition, facial contours contribute to showing that femininity or masculinity is visually perceived.
Age-related facial changes are inevitable, and as we age, those young, firm, plump contours naturally fade away, creating a “sunken” and sagging face look.
So, it is no wonder that facial rejuvenation treatments through aesthetic and plastic techniques have become extremely popular, mainly due to the immediate effects of some of them. More and more people want to benefit from the advantages of hyaluronic acid or botulinum toxin without realizing the importance of choosing a good specialist doctor.
Although it is performed outpatient and produces little discomfort, these treatments are not simple, and incorrect administration can lead to deformation of the features or accidents, some of which can be very serious (skin necrosis, blindness, stroke).
The specialist who deals with such aesthetic interventions is called an esthetician.
Typically, esthetician work in medical offices, clinics, or hospitals and must hold a medical degree and a relevant license.
What does an esthetician do, and what is the difference between a plastic surgeon and an esthetician?
To specialize in aesthetic treatments and surgery, a person may also be required to be certified by specialized councils and meet any residency requirements for this profession. Because these specialists work with people who are concerned about their physical appearance, good communication skills are fundamental so that they can:
- Understand the needs and desires of patients.
- Explain the procedures effectively to avoid making patients even more sensitive than they already are about their appearance.

Unlike the interventions performed by a plastic surgeon, which are meant to correct the dysfunctional areas of the body, having, by definition, a reconstructive nature, the interventions performed by an esthetician include procedures that aim to improve the appearance of a person and help increase self-esteem. Since cosmetic procedures treat functional areas, aesthetic surgery is designated as optional.
