Certified Massage Therapists providing facials, wraps, and other skin therapies may need to get an Esthetician license to continue those treatments in their practices. CMTs will have until June 30, 2008 to apply for a license as an esthetician using the grandfather provision. This allows you to get the license without having to comply with the education and training laws governing estheticians. Read the document below written by the Virginia AMTA lobbyist Becky Bowers-Lanier and decide if you need to pursue the esthetician licensing. Applications for licensure may be found at http://www.dpor.virginia.gov/dporweb/bnc_form.cfm.
