Facial TreatmentsQuestion 75 of 100
A client asks her esthetician to tattoo her eyebrows for a permanent result. What is the correct response?
a.Perform it, since brow shaping is within an esthetician's scope
b.Explain that permanent makeup involves puncturing the skin and is not authorized by an esthetician license, and refer the client to an appropriately permitted practitioner
c.Perform it using a topical numbing prescription
d.Perform it if the client has had it done elsewhere before
Explanation
Tweezing, waxing, and tinting brows are within esthetic scope, but permanent makeup penetrates the skin with a needle and is regulated separately from the esthetician license, so it must be referred out. Prior experience elsewhere does not authorize the service, and obtaining or applying a prescription numbing agent is itself outside scope.
