What is the difference between a beautician, beauty therapist, esthetician, aesthetician and dermal therapist?

Image
Beautician, beauty therapist, esthetician, aesthetician, dermal therapist - what do all these mean? These terms are different in various countries whether you are in Australia, Europe, Asia or the US. I will try and explain the terms as they are used in Australia. Beautician BEAUTICIAN  Certificate III in Beauty Services (3-6 month study) Beauticians can be trained on the job by their peers with no formal qualification or training. Some beauticians, however go to TAFE and have a Certificate III in beauty treatments.

Is Micro Needling Better Than Chemical Peels?

Image
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.

Image
Congestion can be a stubborn problem to clear, it can linger and be a real nuisance. In oil related congestion, the sebum is thick and waxy and has settled deep down in the hair follicle. Usually found around the chin and cheeks, it feels like a cluster of small, deep lumps under the skin. Congestion is usually skin colored , is not painful and does not itch. Once it appears, it usually just sits there and does not clear on its own. 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...
