Beautician, beauty therapist, esthetician, aesthetician, dermal therapist - what do all these mean?

One of my students sent me this question:  "Do you feel that needling is better than chemical peels?" I thought it's an excellent question because, because with so many people talking about these skin rejuvenating treatments, it can be quite confusing.  Micro-needling and chemical peels are two different modalities used for various purposes. It's like comparing apples to bread. Not everyone needs micro-needling, and not everyone is a suitable candidate for chemical peels.

The waxy sebum can be a result of poor nutrition, certain food intolerance, a sluggish metabolism, hormones,  not drinking enough water, etc. and  if left untreated, can potentially lead to ruptured follicles, papules and painful lesions or acne.  To clear it, the waxy sebum has to be broken down, liquefied , and allowed to flow freely to the surface.  If congestion occurs around the jawline and cheeks, and occasionally on the neck, then it is either caused by over nourishing products or it's an internal problem, where the bod...
