You’re in luck if you’re interested in things like skincare, wellness, and beauty. As of May 2015, the BLS estimated that there were 47,000 working medical aestheticians and aestheticians in the United States. By 2016, it is projected that the $3 billion market for newly opened medical spas in the United States will have attracted thousands of aestheticians and medical aestheticians. More than 11,000 jobs are likely to open up as a result of the industry’s rapid growth and optimistic expansion.
Unlike aestheticians, who learn only about the outermost layers of the skin and perform only superficial procedures (waxing, facials, wraps, masks, tweezing, etc.), medical aestheticians learn about the dermal and outer layers of the skin. They have the necessary skills to operate cosmetic lasers (laser hair reduction, radiofrequency skin tightening, laser tattoo removal, IPL photofacial skin rejuvenation, etc.) Medical professionals can offer services like Botox and dermal fillers to their patients after completing training in medical aesthetics.
Is it possible to work in both the field of aesthetics and the field of medicine? Definitely. Aestheticians and individuals who are not aestheticians but who meet their state’s qualifications may attend medical aesthetic school. In most cases, this necessitates graduation or GED from a high school.
