Why We Do NOT Use the Term “Medical Esthetician”

Many schools market the term “medical esthetician,” but Florida does not recognize this title legally or licensure-wise.

Our Position (By Design & Integrity)

There is no medical esthetician license in Florida
Using the term can be misleading and non-compliant
Estheticians do not practice medicine
Advanced treatments are performed under scope, training, and protocols, not medical licensure

What We Use Instead
“Advanced Clinical Aesthetics”

This term accurately reflects:

  • Advanced technology training
  • Corrective and results-driven treatments
  • Clinical protocols
  • Professional responsibility
    Legal clarity


We educate high-level professionals, not mislabel careers.

Our Educational Philosophy
“Advanced Clinical Aesthetics”

Chic Image Academy believes in:

  • Licensing accuracy
  • Skill-based certification
  • Instructor accountability
  • Professional transparency
  • Long-term career integrity


We don’t inflate titles.
We elevate education.
