What does a temporary esthetic license typically allow a practitioner to do?

A temporary esthetic license primarily allows a practitioner to offer esthetic services. This means that individuals who hold such a license are permitted to perform various non-invasive skin care treatments and procedures, such as facials, makeup application, hair removal, and other similar services that fall under the esthetics practice.

The focus of a temporary license is aimed at enabling practitioners to gain practical experience and serve clients while they are in the process of obtaining their full licensure. It is important to note that performing surgeries is not within the scope of esthetics practice, as such procedures typically require a medical license and fall under the domain of licensed medical professionals. Additionally, managing a salon or teaching esthetics usually involves a different set of responsibilities and may require further qualifications beyond the scope of a temporary esthetic license.
