FAQ

Filler Training FAQ for Physician Assistants

Common questions about dermal filler training for physician assistants.

Yes. Physician assistants can perform dermal filler injections in all 50 states as part of their delegated scope of practice under physician supervision. The level of supervision varies by state—many allow general supervision where the physician is available for consultation but not necessarily on-site. Your supervising physician determines specific procedures based on your training and competency.
Aesthetic PAs typically earn $100,000-$140,000+ annually, with many positions offering base salary plus productivity bonuses or commission. PAs skilled in both Botox and fillers are particularly valuable. This often exceeds traditional PA roles while offering better work-life balance with regular hours.
Level 1 training covers nasolabial folds, marionette lines, oral commissures, and lower face volume loss. These foundational areas allow you to begin treating patients immediately. Lips, cheeks, tear troughs, chin, and jawline are covered in Advanced Filler Training available after completing Level 1.
Dermatology practices, plastic surgery offices, medical spas, facial plastic surgery practices, oculoplastic surgeons, and wellness centers all hire aesthetic PAs. Many multi-specialty dermatology groups have dedicated aesthetic divisions. PAs skilled in both neurotoxins and fillers are especially sought after.
Many PAs take both courses on the same day—Botox in the morning and Dermal Fillers in the afternoon. This comprehensive training makes you more valuable to employers who want providers skilled in both modalities. Patients often benefit from combined treatments addressing both wrinkles (Botox) and volume loss (fillers).
AAOPM provides job placement resources connecting graduates with employers. You can also search dermatology-specific job boards, contact practices directly, work with healthcare recruiters specializing in aesthetics, and network through our 100,000+ alumni community. Many practices actively recruit from training courses.
