Welcome to althealthconnect.com, a web portal bringing you authentic, reliable information about holistic esthetician services and other holistic wellness therapies. This website is owned and operated by the National Institute of Alternative Health Care (NIAHC).
An esthetician is a cosmetologist specializing in skin care therapies. Services rendered by an esthetician include facials, microdermabrasion, body wraps, salt glows, waxing for hair removal and cosmetic services. Estheticians work independently in spas or salons or assist dermatologists in their practice. There are advanced (post-graduate level and above) courses that enable the esthetician to perform more advanced treatments such as deep chemical peels under a doctor’s supervision, however, holistic estheticians rarely use deep peels. Estheticians are also trained to counsel their clients on skin and body care and the products involved.
At NIAHC, we follow an integrated approach to health and wellbeing. As a community of holistic healthcare specialists, we lay emphasis on the mind-body correlation in wellness. A state of radiant inner health reflects positively on one’s appearance. The converse is also true, as feeling good about one’s appearance perks up the mind and state of health.
