How to Find a Great Esthetician

Shop Dr. Mina's Fall Skincare Favorites Here Looking for help with your skin but overwhelmed by too many products and not enough clarity? You’re not alone. One of the most common questions I hear in my dermatology practice is: “How do I find a great esthetician?” Whether you’re new to facials, trying to streamline your routine, or looking for someone to guide you through seasonal skin changes, partnering with the right skincare professional can make all the difference. That’s where a qualified esthetician comes in. In this episode, I’m joined by Lindsey Holder, a licensed esthetician with over 15 years of experience, to talk about exactly what an esthetician can (and can’t) do, how they can work hand-in-hand with your dermatologist, and what to look for before you book your first appointment. We also share the red flags to watch for and the questions you should always ask so you can feel confident about the person caring for your skin. Key Takeaways: The difference between estheticians and dermatologists—and why you might benefit from both. Services and guidance a qualified esthetician can provide (and where their scope ends). Red flags to avoid before booking your first appointment. The must-ask questions to find a pro who fits your needs. Why collaboration between medical and aesthetic care gives better results.   Lindsey Holder is a Licensed Master Esthetician and Certified Thermographer with over 15 years of experience in the skincare and wellness industry.
