Additionally, educate the client on how to care for her skin following the procedure, as well as on applying a healing ointment to areas that are prone to scarring. Teach the client how to cleanse the areas that have been worked on without causing undue irritation, taking the time to actually demonstrate cleansing and moisturizing techniques before she even goes through the procedure so the client is well-prepared.

The best results

The esthetician plays in an integral role during pre- and postoperative treatments, and these efforts can play a large factor in the client’s overall satisfaction with the procedure. Every little step a business can take to pay attention to detail will help the client have a great and comforting experience during what can be a stressful time. And always remember, everyone in this industry is working together to make clients feel better about themselves.
