Are Esthetician Treatments Worth It? Facials, Chemical Peels, Dermaplaning & More | EP 10

Are esthetician treatments actually worth it? Which facials and skin treatments are worth your money—and which ones aren't? In this special episode of Scalpel and Skin, Mistica Lebraska is joined by Melissa Janoski, the first official guest and co-host of the podcast. Melissa has worked alongside Mistica for years and brings 16 years of experience in the aesthetics industry to the conversation.  Together, they break down traditional esthetician treatments and newer aesthetic procedures, giving their honest take on what actually delivers results and what may not be worth the investment. They talk about facials, dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, Hydrafacials, skincare treatments, and newer esthetician procedures—and put them all through the Scalpel and Skin “Is It Worth It?” test. And yes… some of their opinions might make a few estheticians very unhappy.
