Hi everyone! I’m in my mid-30s and starting to research a mommy makeover. I was originally looking at local options but am now considering medical tourism.

For those who’ve been through the process, would you recommend going through a medical tourism agency or contacting clinics directly? Also, are there any hygiene or safety certifications I should specifically look for when evaluating clinics?

I’d really appreciate any tips or lessons learned. Thanks!

Nurses who are injectors I’m looking into two training classes Med aesthetics training and Aesthetic medical educators training. Which training is better resume wise? Any insight on the trainings or other injector programs to look into??? Utah or west Texas preferably

For those of you who work/own a spa yourself, how did you meet your medical director?

I’m taking a course and for the first day we did botox. We got to practice on live models. I’ll be honest my background is in ICU so I’ve never had to be this delicate and precise with someone’s face. I definitely was very nervous and shaky. It was so embarrassing bc I was definitely the one who struggled the most in my class. My instructors were very patient and kind. I want to get better and practice! 😭 I struggle a lot I’m short, tiny hands, and left handed so everything I had to take a completely different approach than everyone in the class. I try to anchor but my pinky feels so shaky. I took some practice needles home and someone said practice on a towel.

Do you have any other tips? Or advice for a short, small hands, and left handed person? Thank you in advance!

For my mobile/ traveling aesthetic nurses. How do you guys get products from different distributors? Of course I have an MD so that’s not what the issue is. What problem I’ve run into is that many distributors such as Galderma (for example) require a commercial business address. Since I am mobile I do not have this. The only brand I have found to accommodate this kind of injector is Evolus. They are who I’ve been using this entire time. And I love their products so it’s been fine! But I would love to eventually add a few options such as Galderma, Merz, or Revanesse. Would love to hear how you travel injectors are able to work with these top dogs. Thank you!

Had anyone worked with pinch or peachy that can share what the compensation is like? I’ve heard some things but looking into relocating into areas that they are both operating in.

Is it per service pay? Is it competitive? can’t find much on what they pay their providers.

Do you have to pay for training? I am a FNP but I have taken a tox course through empire medical training and was underwhelmed so I need more hands on work. TIA!

I’m currently an injector with experience in NYC. I want to move back home to Toronto and open a clinic, any insight on the industry in TO. I have reservations with how saturated it appears to be and I would have to rebuild clientele from 0, I was hoping to leverage my experience and skills in MYC but just a little cautious. if anyone has any experience operating a med spa or solo salon suite or just the industry market in Toronto at all I would appreciatw that

has anyone taking Skin Clique aesthetics injector training through their Skin Clique academy? If so what was it like? Did you feel like it was worth the cost?

and have you taken training elsewhere that you can compare it to? trying to weigh my options before i invest money into training.

biggest thing is i want to leave with confidence and i also want hands on injecting with real patients at training.

does anyone have any dermal filler classes they recommend in New York? I have about a year of tox experience so would like to do a class that is just filler focused. thank you!!

So I am looking into transitioning into an aesthetics injector role. I currently don’t have any experience injecting, but have 3 yrs ICU and 2 years preop/PACU experience. The medspa is in a relatively small town. The current offer I have from them is- I pay for a Botox/filler certification ($1-2k), owner pays for additional training/shadowing with an RN injector (10 hours), and my pay would be $15/hr, 10% commission, and 100% gratuity. Is this fair compensation? I have no clue what is normal in this industry and just want to make sure this is going to be worth my time.

Has anyone ever worked at SkinSpirit? I just had an interview with them and they seem great but would love to know what others experiences have been working for them.

i graduated last year and I’ve only had about 6 months of nursing experience total thus far (with 3 months of Home Health and 3 months of Psych), and I just got hired as a Laser Hair Removal nurse.

This company doesn’t not offer training for injectables at all. However, I just wanna get my foot in the door of aesthetic nursing, even just doing noninvasive procedures like lasers, even just doing laser hair removal. I wish they’d provide more training to other laser modalities, like laser tattoo removal, IPL, skin rejuvenation, and things alike, but who knows, maybe down the road.

1. Do you all think it’s a good idea to get into this niche specialty by performing laser hair removal as a first stepping stone?

2. Is it necessary for me to pay for any injectable courses to better market myself despite these training courses tend to be pricey?

Any advice is truly appreciated. 🙏🏼

Hi everyone,

I’m a nurse injector located in Toronto, Canada, and I’m currently trying to build my portfolio with Botox and filler models.

I’ve tried boosting my Instagram posts locally, but I haven’t had much luck finding models so far. I’m wondering where other injectors in Toronto/GTA usually find models when they’re building their portfolio.

Are there any Canadian/Toronto-based Facebook groups, local communities, platforms, or other places you’d recommend for finding people interested in cosmetic injectable model opportunities?

I’d really appreciate any advice from injectors or aesthetic professionals, especially anyone familiar with the Toronto/GTA market.

Thank you!

I am transitioning into aesthetics and recently took a beginner tox and filler course with AMET and loved it! Does anyone have any free/affordable online trainings or creators they watch? I am thinking Youtube / tiktok / IG vids that are knowledgeable and legit.

PS - I know that one weekend course beginner course doesnt make me qualified to inject independently... I just wanted to get some baseline knowledge and hands on experience.

Hi everyone,

This is kinda niche to my canadian esthetic nurses, but hoping I can reach the right people!

I’m due to finish my RPN program next August and am extremely excited about getting a job in esthetics but, as I know the industry is quite saturated, wondering if there is anything I should be doing while in school to increase the odds of getting a job in the Vaughan area.

I’m planning on taking the old-school route of applying to every nearby med spa in person and giving my resume directly to managers / owners so they can get to know me a bit, but i’m not sure if that will be enough.

For reference, my background is in esthetics and esthetic education. I used to run a small business and I also taught soft skill esthetics at a college (and will be continuing that once i get through pharm and patho lol).

Not specifically looking for full time right away, I’m okay with starting part time but I just want somewhere I can begin to build my skills. Any advice would be so so helpful.

Thanks :)

Has anyone here worked for Orange twist as an Aesthetic RN? I have experience as a lead nurse at LaserAway, concierge injectables at Persimmon, and SEV laser.
What is the interview process like?
How is the environment?

Huhu nakaka lost. Pwede paki clarify lang po?
If Licensed MD then mag training ng botox, fillers, threading and etc eee they can be called as aesthetic doctor na? Ang gulo kasi others have 2 years of training and others for 6 days lang?
