Forcing us to go back to school to do what we are already doing is absolutly wrong.  As a licensed aesthetician with a great education (that I had to get out of state) I will not be able to do most of the treatments that I currently do.  If you think this will not effect you please go and check most of the products that you use.  I am sure there are many that have a percentage over what the state is going to regulate.  Maybe it's not a medical grade peel but that doesn't matter the state is going to tell you that you cannot use it unless you go back to school spend $10000 on 600 more hours to learn what you already know.  This is crazy.  We won't be able to afford to go back to school because we won't have an income.  The only people who will be gaining from this is the people pushing for it.  The schools.  Where were these schools ten years ago when there weren't any regulations and aestheticians had to go out of state to get a quality education.  The state cannot do this at this point.  Don't go from 0-60 in once seconed.  Please let's stand up for our career and our futures as aestheticians and keep it at 600 hours.  If the the master aesthetics license is approved I will be forced to take my knowledge and business out of the state of Virginia.
