The New York Esthetician credential is a state-issued license that authorizes a practitioner to perform skincare services for pay in New York - cleansing and facial treatments, exfoliation, extraction, mask application, hair removal by waxing or tweezing, and makeup application - under the supervision/sanitization standards the state sets for appearance-enhancement businesses. Candidates are typically students finishing an approved esthetics program, apprentices moving into licensed practice, or out-of-state and internationally trained estheticians seeking New York licensure. The NY Esthetician case studies are 5 cases and about 4,071 words.
