Can estheticians in Texas provide permanent makeup services?

Estheticians in Texas are permitted to provide permanent makeup services, but they must meet additional requirements. This typically includes obtaining a specific license for cosmetic tattooing or permanent makeup, which is separate from the general esthetics license. Furthermore, they may need to complete additional training in sanitation and the specific techniques associated with permanent makeup application, as well as adhering to health regulations and safety protocols.

The regulations ensure that estheticians are adequately trained to perform these services, which can involve more complicated procedures than traditional esthetic practices. This additional training and certification help to protect the public and ensure that clients receive safe and professional services.

In contrast, the other choices do not align with the regulations established in Texas. For example, saying that it is illegal suggests that estheticians cannot perform these services at all, which is not accurate. Options that imply the necessity of just verbal consent or that only licensed tattoo artists can do so overlook the specific licensure requirements that estheticians must obtain to perform permanent makeup legally. Thus, the answer that emphasizes the need for additional requirements accurately reflects the laws governing this practice in Texas.
