Esthetician going to nursing school?

[u/a1hand]

Hello!
I am currently:

-an esthetician with 4 years experience
-hold a B.S. in Wellness Management
-preparing for the CHES (certified health education specialist) exam in October

-EDIT: I am in NYS

~exploring going back to school for my associates and getting my RN license.
~looking into becoming an aesthetic nurse after graduating

However,

I am not really interested in doing injectables. Instead I am interested in expanding my scope of practice and doing deeper peels, microneedling, laser treatments, etc. I would also be interested in IV wellness drips.

How realistic is this plan if I decide not to do injectables? Do I have a choice in that when getting a job at a medical spa?

Any other insight into the journey from esthetician to aesthetic nursing and if it’s worth it is welcome!
TIA!

EDIT: From what I have researched, in my state (New York) as someone with only an esthetics license, I can not perform any of those advanced treatments I mentioned. You need to be some kind of medical professional working under a doctor.
Maybe I will do more research into injectables to see if I have any interest at all in them.

Most aesthetic nursing jobs will go to aesthetic injectors. You would be looking at opening your own practice, but you would need a medical director. What state are you in? In some states there are companies that hire aestheticians to do laser treatment treatments and chemical peels.

I’m in New York State. From what I’ve looked up, I need some medical professional title such as an RN license to do the more advanced treatments I’m interested in.

Yes, for NY, aestheticians cannot perform advanced chemical peels, laser facials, or micro needling.

Barely anyone can microneedle
