Nothing unprofessional about beauty treatment (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

facial

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'beauty treatment' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'nothing unprofessional about' is the wordplay.
'nothing' becomes 'FA' (slang term - sweet Fanny Adams).
'unprofessional' becomes 'laic' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'about' is a reversal indicator.
'laic' written backwards gives 'cial'.
'fa'+'cial'='FACIAL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for facial that I've seen before include "Type of beauty treatment" , "Beauty treatment for the visage" , "Beauty treatment, maybe mudpack" , "Cosmetic treatment" , "Beauty treatment for front of head" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
