Skin looks different for everyone, from texture to pigmentation and no two people face quite the same concerns. That’s why estheticians need a broad, well-rounded understanding of skin and the many ways to treat it. Here’s a look at the skincare techniques covered in HICI Go’s courses:
There’s no single fix for acne. A healthcare provider might recommend over-the-counter products like cleansers and salicylic acid or prescribe medication to manage symptoms directly.
Skincare specialists can also offer treatment options that work alongside or in place of, traditional medication. HICI Go’s courses explore several alternatives estheticians can bring into their salon or spa.
This minimally invasive treatment shaves away the top layers of skin, helping with concerns like acne, pitted texture or unwanted hair. Once the surface layer is removed, clients are left with fresher, smoother skin. Most dermaplaning happens on the face, but it can be performed on other areas of the body too.
Electrolysis is the only permanent hair removal method approved by the FDA. As the name suggests, it uses electricity to target hair at the root, damaging the follicle so existing hair falls out and new hair stops growing back. Estheticians can perform this treatment on the face or elsewhere on the body.
Similar to microdermabrasion, this treatment gently sands away the thick, rough top layer of skin using a specialized tool. It gets its name from the device used, which combines exfoliation with suction to lift away dead skin cells, then goes a step further by infusing the skin with serums. The treatment breaks down into three parts:
A newer addition to skincare, raindrop therapy involves applying rounds of essential oils to the skin. While research is still limited, it’s believed to offer benefits like pain relief and improved immune function, along with skin-cleansing properties that can leave skin looking refreshed.
Sugaring is an old hair removal method that’s seen a real resurgence. It gets its name from the sweet ingredients, like lemon, used to create the sticky substance that lifts hair away.
Unlike waxing, which applies in the direction of hair growth and pulls off against it, sugaring works in reverse: applied against the grain and removed with it. It’s a versatile option for facial hair as well as the arms, back, legs and bikini area.
Waxing remains one of the most familiar hair removal methods. Skincare specialists use wax strips to remove unwanted hair from various parts of the body, often leaving skin smoother and more even than shaving, while also clearing away some dry skin along the way. Regrowth time varies from client to client.
Speed waxing is another technique covered in our courses, applying wax over a wider area and removing it with a single strip. For estheticians, “speed waxing” can also describe any approach designed to move faster overall. Understanding the range of waxing techniques helps skincare specialists serve a wider range of clients.
