Tanya, I am in Louisiana. My State Board Rep didn't know what Dermaplaning was!

Hi, new here but thought I would jump in because I am a new Esty here in CO and was taught dermaplaning/dermaleveling in school. However, my teacher has been going head to head with the state board on whether or not we should be allowed to do this procedure in our own Esty Room and not in a medical office. We are allowed to proceed at this point but it has been a struggle. My teachers argument is how is this any different than a barber using hot shave cream and a large blade to shave a gentlemens neck. It is a great procedure and you can charge quite a bit for the service, I sure hope you can proceed. Also, one thought call your insurance company to see if you are covered for this sort of treatment just incase...

It's interesting that you use the comparison of a barber. I know states that have barbers (which are different from cosmotologists) allow barbers to shave clients but may not allow cosmotologists. I am not sure how the school keeps it's lisence/accredidation by teaching methods that are not recognized by the state.
Florida does not allow dermaplaning by estheticians.

Audrey~ My teacher has used the comparison as in we are basically shaving the face and a barber is shaving a neck when discussing this procedure with the state board. The state board here recognizes and allows Esty's to dermaplane but is trying to revoke this and not allow us to do so.

Hello all,
It depends on what the laws are on exfoliation, I know that here if Florida the law states that working on the dead tissue for the purpose of 'beautification' is what is within our scope of practice. When performing dermaplaning that is the layer of skin that we are working on, the epithilial tissue of the stratum corneum is within our scope of pratice and that is what is being removed. The blade is being held on a 45 degree angle, we are not 'cutting' anything. Chemical peels penetrate much deeper than you can go with dermaplaning.
Hope this helps,
Carlye Walters

There is no such thing as a "medical esthetician" in New York. Everyone takes the same test and is licensed as an esthetician. Saying medical does not change the license that is held.

That is correct, it does not change the license. A "medical Esthetician" is just a separate course/training that can be taken after you become an Esthetician. You are trained in medical strength superficial peels like jessner, some include microderm training, laser, pre/post op facials, cosmetic laser procedures, etc.

You are absolutely right, the state boards only recognize an esthetician lisence. 'Medical esthetician' or'paremedical esthetician' is not recognized. The term 'Medical esthetician' is used by some estheticians to reflect their training or experience wich can be vast or limited as it is a self imposed title and not regulated,
Hope this helps,
