What are licensees responsible for in their practice?

Licensees in the esthetics field have a critical responsibility to ensure compliance with health and safety standards. This includes maintaining a sanitary environment, using approved products, and following guidelines established by health authorities and governing bodies, such as the TDLR (Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation). Adhering to these standards is essential not only for the safety of clients but also for the overall professionalism and legal operation of their practice.

By ensuring compliance with health and safety standards, licensees play a significant role in minimizing the risk of infections or adverse reactions that may arise from improper practices. This aspect of their responsibility is foundational to building trust with clients and maintaining a reputable practice in the esthetics industry. Other aspects, such as customer satisfaction, providing discounts, or advertising, while important, do not carry the same regulatory obligations and legal consequences associated with health and safety compliance.
