Consultative aesthetics is the process of learning a client’s needs, then meeting those needs with solutions that combine products and services. With many clients seeking aesthetic treatments in conjunction with medical prescriptions and procedures, the clinical aesthetic practitioner requires an understanding of cosmeceutical ingredients and prescriptive medications for successful treatment outcomes.
A licensed professional can treat skin in ways that do not require medication or surgery, and very often, it is the professional who is first presented with the most common skin conditions like melasma, rosacea, acne, and hyperpigmentation. A skin care specialist can assess skin but cannot diagnose a medical condition or recommend prescription medication. However, a professional can help develop a healthy skin care routine for any known skin condition, so it is vital to be familiar with prescription medications, indications, and contraindications for aesthetic treatments.
