These words are often used interchangeably in the cosmetic industry; however, they do have different meanings, and this difference is important to your complete understanding of Aesthetics Exposed. Aesthetics is about the nature of art dealing with beauty. This term is commonly used when dealing with cosmetic medicine. Estheticians are licensed professionals who practice skin care or esthetics to improve the appearance of the outer layers of the skin. Estheticians are likely trained on basic anatomy of the skin, facials, hair removal, exfoliation treatments, and makeup application. There are now more schools that offer extended curriculums that go above and beyond the basics. The distinction between these terms is important for the following reasons, linked to the respective terms’ application within this book: Esthetics will be used when discussing treatments performed by estheticians dealing with the outermost layer of the epidermis. Aesthetics will be used when describing beauty, as well as treatments performed in cosmetic medicine. You may also see the words patient and client used at different points, as well. Patient is the term used when speaking of someone receiving a medical service. 6 Client is used when one is receiving a service in general such as a facial, massage, or haircut. ii 7 8 PART 1 Aesthetics & Cosmetic Medicine: The Framework 9 10
