Do you need an Esthetician or a Dermatologist?

What is the difference between an Esthetician and a Dermatologist?
Estheticians 
+ Consult and evaluate your skin, skin type, home care regimen and possible triggers for your skin concerns.
+ Estheticians educate their clients on skin care needs which do change for a number of reasons.

Dermatologist
+ Treat skin diseases and prescribe medications to treat a skin disease.

Acne
Acne is one of the main reasons people go to a dermatologist.  Typically acne is treated with topical, oral antibiotics or birth control as a medical solution.  As an Esthetician, I have found that many acne issues can be addressed and possibly eliminated with proper consultation and client compliance, using 21^st century philosophies and treatments.

Rosacea
Rosacea is also another reason people go to a dermatologist and it’s treated with topical and oral medications.  As an Esthetician, I have found that many clients don’t respond well to medications.  Medications taken for many years can disrupt your intestinal flora – which is a very, very delicate balance.   Yes, I believe in taking medications to stabilize a situation, however; taking medications for a life time can cause many side effects.  All drugs that are FDA approved and need a physician to prescribe them are toxic and can be lethal.   Understand LD 50 here.
