The need for PA schools and the responsibilities of PAs in medical offices is rising significantly. The demand for PAs who are trained to provide medical aesthetics treatments like BOTOX®, dermal fillers, and anti-aging laser skin treatments is rising as more and more doctors offer these procedures.
Medical education is always evolving, and PA programs recognize the value of staying current. The PA’s marketability and value to the busy physician increase with continuing medical education (CME) certification in modern medical aesthetics techniques. The time is now to pursue your interest in the rapidly growing subject of medical aesthetics. The medical aesthetics market is currently worth $10 billion and is expected to expand at a rapid rate over the next few years. With over 5 million treatments administered in the United States in 2013, BOTOX® has far surpassed all other nonsurgical cosmetic procedures. In addition to dermal fillers and laser hair removal, photofacial skin rejuvenation is a frequently sought-after procedure, with millions of treatments performed annually.
