Understanding the Scope of Esthetics Licensing in Oregon

If you're pursuing a career in esthetics in Oregon, knowing what services are legally allowed under your license is essential. Esthetics is a regulated field, and the state outlines the specific treatments you can provide to ensure client safety and professionalism.

What’s Included in the Scope of Esthetics?

In Oregon, licensed estheticians are trained and authorized to perform a variety of skin and beauty services, including:

  • Facials: Cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, moisturizing, and treatment masks to improve skin health.

  • Hair Removal: Waxing, Sugaring, threading, and tweezing for various areas of the body.

  • Lash and Brow Services: Lash extensions, lifts, tints, and brow shaping or tinting.

  • Chemical Peels: Light to medium-depth peels to improve skin texture and appearance.

  • Dermaplaning: Exfoliating the skin by safely removing dead skin cells and vellus hair with a scalpel.

  • Microneedling: Non-invasive procedures to improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity (as permitted by the state).

  • Makeup Application: Professional makeup services for events, photoshoots, or daily wear.

  • Skin Analysis and Consultations: Identifying skin conditions and recommending appropriate treatments and products.


Why Licensing Matters

Becoming a licensed esthetician ensures you’re properly trained in safety, sanitation, and advanced techniques. It also allows you to legally provide these services, build trust with your clients, and operate a legitimate business.

What’s Outside the Scope of Esthetics?

While estheticians in Oregon can offer many advanced treatments like dermaplaning and microneedling, certain medical or invasive procedures are not allowed unless you hold additional certifications or medical licenses. These include:

  • Injectables (Botox, fillers)

  • Laser treatments and other medical-grade equipment (unless supervised by a medical professional)

  • Microneedling beyond the depth allowed by state regulations


Build Your Career in Esthetics

Understanding the scope of esthetics in Oregon is the first step toward building a successful career. By staying within these guidelines, you’ll ensure compliance with state regulations while offering safe, effective, and in-demand services to your clients.
