What Qualifications Do I Need To Be A Cosmetic Injector?
First, we should note that the exact requirements vary by state. However, all aesthetic injectors must have some sort of medical degree or qualification. While some states do allow medical assistants to inject cosmetic injectables, most require at least a degree in nursing and a nursing license. Any medical provider above a registered nurse can become a cosmetic injector.
When you have your medical license, there are not many other requirements. Credentials are not required everywhere, but they do give you a better set of skills and knowledge. Patients also often look for credentialing when choosing an injector. It is recommended that prospective injectors gain experience through training courses or a fellowship like what AACM offers.
Some states do require physician oversight of nurse injectors. In this case, registered nurses cannot open a practice without a physician. Registered nurses with a compact RN license are eligible for our full hands-on training without seeking further licensure. Check your state requirements before seeking out further training.
Will Adding Cosmetic Injections Benefit My Existing Practice?
Yes, for medical professionals like physicians and dentists who own their practice, there’s already an established customer base who might naturally be interested in cosmetic injections. Doctors can utilize Botox for treating various medical conditions like chronic migraines, in addition to cosmetic purposes. Similarly, dentists frequently employ Botox to address TMJ disorders, leveraging their proximity to other injection sites.
With a minimum return on investment of $100, incorporating cosmetic injectables into your current medical practice presents minimal risk. Regardless of your specialty, there are likely opportunities to utilize Botox, tapping into patients you already have a relationship with who may express interest in Botox and fillers.
Where Is The Fellowship/In-Person Training?
The fellowship and in-person training sessions will take place in an aesthetic clinic in Seattle, Washington. Please ensure that you make proper travel arrangements including obtaining a temporary medical license. If you have any questions about this, please contact us.
Is The Aesthetic Industry A Viable Career?
Yes, the aesthetic industry as a whole is expected to grow in the next decade. More and more people are seeking out non-surgical cosmetic treatments such as Botox and fillers. Unlike working in a traditional medical role, you have a more flexible schedule and more of an active role in patient outcomes. Patients also come to you in good spirits and health, in contrast to a health setting where they are often sick and not in their best form.
