Dermatologists and Estheticians - Can They Work Together?
The recent New York Times article, “An Expression of Doubt About Facials,” brings up an interesting discussion on relationships between dermatologists and estheticians. While some would classify them at odds, I find that dermatologists and estheticians can work together for the benefit of clients. Not everyone sees a dermatologist and not everyone has problem skin. Many people enjoy esthetic services as a relaxing way to round out their skincare routine. In turn, I have had estheticians save people’s lives by sending clients with melanoma to me who would not have gone to see a dermatologist otherwise. A responsible esthetician will also refer clients who they see are not benefiting from facials and spa care to a dermatologist for more appropriate medical care. Serving the client’s best interest is most important whether you are an esthetician or a dermatologist and the skincare industry certainly has a place for both.
