See What Our Students Have To Say

The NYSE is incredibly passionate about teaching and preparing their students for the state board test and to succeed in their future as estheticians. The paramedical program was the best decision I made. The program is taught by knowledgeable and experienced instructors which increased my confidence to perform in depth procedures. The instructors make sure you have reliable learning resources during and after the course.

I studied esthetics here and had a great experience. The highlight of my experience was when I decided to do the additional paramedical course with Irina. She was thorough, informative, and refused to move on from subjects until we all fully understood what we were discussing. The paramedical course gave us an in depth background into paramedical esthetics, and also gave us additional certifications for dermaplaning, advanced chemical peels, and laser. I immediately was hired to work at a MediSpa upon graduating at Luz MediSpa in Somers NY, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything has turned out. Big thank you to Irina and all the ladies at New York School of Esthetics!

Patrick M.

I recently graduated from the NYSE, and I’m very satisfied with the education I received. The curriculum is well-structured, and the quality of teaching is excellent. I took both the general esthetics course, and the paramedical class, and both provided a solid foundation and valuable hands-on experience. The instructors are knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely care about their students’ success. I felt well-supported throughout my time at the school, and I’m confident in the skills I’ve gained to begin my career in esthetics.

I highly recommend this school to anyone interested in pursuing a career in esthetics!

What is the difference between an esthetician and a medical esthetician?

An esthetician provides skincare services to people who have relatively healthy skin in a non-medical setting, such as a spa or resort. A medical esthetician has advanced training and can work in a medical setting, providing skincare treatments to patients with more complex skin issues. A medical esthetician could work with a doctor, nurse, plastic surgeon, or dermatologist.

What do estheticians do in a medical spa setting?

A medical spa is a place where people can receive advanced, medical-grade skin treatments, such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and laser treatments. A medical esthetician could provide these treatments, educate people on proper skincare routines, and provide post-treatment care. Many med spas offer other services like Botox injections, body contouring, tattoo removal, and specialized facials to treat conditions like acne or scarring.
