While Perricone refers to a skincare brand and philosophy emphasizing anti-aging and dermatological skincare, an esthetician is a licensed skincare professional providing facials, treatments, and skincare advice. The two are related but serve different roles: Perricone is a product line or approach, whereas an esthetician is a trained professional who may use Perricone products in their treatments.
