Estheticians explain treatment options to clients, and help them select the best products for their skin. Paramedical estheticians have specialized training to care for patients in plastic surgeons’ offices, health care clinics, burn clinics, and in other medical settings. They help patients learn to care for and camouflage skin damage resulting from injury, illness, and burns.
