Which grades of acne cannot be treated by estheticians?

  1. Grade 1 and 2

  2. Grade 3 and 4

  3. Milia

  4. Nodular cystic acne

The correct answer is: Grade 3 and 4

Estheticians are trained to treat mild to moderate cases of acne (Grade 1 and 2), as these grades involve superficial and smaller pimples and inflammation. However, Grade 3 and 4 acne are considered severe and involve deeper acne lesions, such as nodules and cysts, which require medical treatment from a dermatologist. Milia, on the other hand, are not grades of acne but are tiny white bumps under the skin and are also not within the scope of practice for estheticians. Therefore, the correct answer is B Grade 3 and 4.
