Why Waxing and Skincare Skills Matter
Waxing and skincare services are two of the most consistently requested treatments in spas and salons across Colorado. From brow shaping and facial waxing to custom facials and exfoliation treatments, clients rely on estheticians for expertise that enhances both comfort and confidence.
In Denver, where the dry climate and high altitude can make skincare a daily challenge, professional estheticians play an even more important role. Clients want smooth, glowing skin that’s healthy, hydrated, and protected — and they turn to trained professionals for results.
At Elite Aesthetics Academy, our program goes far beyond textbook theory. You’ll gain real-world experience performing facial and body waxing, skin consultations, and customized skincare treatments for all skin types.
What You’ll Learn in the Waxing and Skincare Course
Our waxing and skincare course is part of the 600-hour esthetician program approved by the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA). It’s designed to build both your confidence and competence through structured lessons and supervised practice.
Key Topics Covered:
1. Skin Analysis and Consultation
You’ll learn to assess your client’s skin type, sensitivity level, and overall health before performing any treatment. This ensures safe, personalized results and builds client trust.
2. Facial Treatments
Learn how to perform professional facials that cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate. You’ll master advanced techniques like steaming, extraction, mask application, and facial massage — using high-quality products designed for visible results.
3. Waxing Techniques
Gain expertise in brow design, facial waxing, and full-body hair removal. You’ll learn the difference between soft and hard wax, how to minimize discomfort, and proper pre- and post-care practices.
4. Exfoliation and Skin Renewal
Understand how to safely perform physical and chemical exfoliation treatments, improving texture, tone, and radiance. This includes basic peel prep and the use of enzymes and scrubs.
5. Sanitation and Safety
Proper hygiene and sterilization are crucial in professional esthetics. You’ll be trained in DORA-compliant sanitation protocols to protect clients and maintain your professional reputation.
6. Product Knowledge and Ingredient Science
Learn about common skincare ingredients — from AHAs and BHAs to botanical extracts and antioxidants — so you can recommend effective homecare regimens for every skin type.
