It is customary to tip your aesthetician for whatever she does, but....
Aestheticians rely on your tips as part of their income and tipping them is customary but having said that, it is not legal or advisable for them to be doing some procedures that your doc or nurse should be doing. Sincerely,

Estheticians Tips
Estheticians rely on tips for their living, but you should ensure that in your state that the esthetician is licensed to do the treatment. In Florida, estheticians can not perform botox. The esthetician may also be licensed to do the peel depending on the strength of the peel.

Should I tip my esthetician for Botox?
Probably not since in many States, estheticians should not be injecting Botox as they are not licensed to do so.
Any that are doing this in a State that is not allowing them does not deserve a tip and you should wonder why they are doing injections illegally.
If this is the case, you are not "getting a deal" by using someone that is cheap. Rather, you run the risk of having injections that are illegal and perhaps using materials not purchased through legal means (since they...

Tipping your esthetician
TIP stands for "To insure promptness" A tip is a good idea to let your caretaker knwo that you appreciate their service. However as you have read from the other surgeon's responses, this is a service that an aesthetician is not certified to perform.

Tipping?
Whether you tip or not is a personal choice.I feel if you have received exemplary service or after hours or whatever then yes.If the person is giving you a significant discount then again yes.It is a personal choice.There are no hard and fast rules.

Tipping Not Necessary
In general, for medical procedures, tipping is not usually customary. Also, with any medical procedure, whether it is botox or peels or laser, these should be done by a physician, not estheticians or nures practitioners.

Estheticians should NOT be tipped for Illegally Performing a Medical Procedure
Botox injections are a medical procedures with real potential risks. In MOST states it is against the law to have estheticians performing medical procedures. I do not know if Pennsylvania is one of those states. If it is, she is breaking the law and you will be tipping her for doing so.

Aestheticians should not do Botox
If an aesthetician does a superficial peel, which is an exfoliation, than you can decide whether to tip them or not. You should not have an aesthetician do Botox injections on you as that is a procedure that should only be done by a licensed provider.

No States permit estheticians to legally perform BOTOX injections.
This is called the unauthorized practice of medicine. Chemical peels are generally also considered a medical procedure. However, some of the most mild of peeling agents are permitted by some States. Generally however, it is far more reasonable to seek a medical professional (medical doctor) for this type of care. On the plus side, we don't mind if you don't tip us.

Tip for botox
I agree with the prior post. Licensed medical professionals should be the only ones to administer Botox as it is a medical procedure.

You should see a physician
Botox and most peels are medical procedures that are only legally performed by licensed medical doctors, and in some states, by licensed medical extenders (NP, PA) under direct physician supervision. You should give her a tip: stop before she is arrested for practicing medicine without a license. My tip to you: see a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

Tipping for Botox is not customary
Botox is medical procedure and tipping would be unusual and not expected. With regard to the peels this varies but in our office it is not expected.
Hope this helps
