Why Registered Nurses Are Choosing Aesthetic Nursing

Your RN training provides an excellent foundation for aesthetic procedures. Dermal filler certification opens doors to a specialty with better hours, higher pay, and satisfying patient relationships.

  • Career Transformation: Move from hospital nursing to aesthetic nursing—regular hours, no nights, and patients who are excited to see you.
  • Higher Earning Potential: Aesthetic RNs often earn more than bedside nurses, with many positions offering hourly rates plus tips or commissions.
  • Better Work-Life Balance: No more 12-hour shifts, weekends, or holidays. Medical spas typically operate business hours.
  • Visible Results: See immediate improvements that boost patient confidence. Build lasting relationships with patients who return regularly for maintenance.
  • Growing Demand: The aesthetic industry is booming, and trained RN injectors are in short supply at medical spas and dermatology practices.

FAQ

Filler Training FAQ for Registered Nurses

Common questions about dermal filler training for registered nurses.

In many states, yes—RNs can perform filler injections under physician supervision with appropriate training and standing orders. However, some states restrict injectable procedures to advanced practice providers (NPs, PAs) or physicians only. Regulations vary significantly, so verify with your state nursing board before pursuing aesthetic nursing.
In states allowing RN injectors, physician supervision is required. This typically means working under standing orders from a supervising physician who is available for consultation. The physician doesn't necessarily need to be on-site for every procedure (depending on state law) but must provide oversight and be available for complications.
Aesthetic RNs typically earn $70,000-$100,000+ annually, often exceeding bedside nursing salaries. Many positions offer hourly rates plus tips or commissions on products and procedures. RNs skilled in both Botox and fillers are particularly valuable and can earn at the higher end of the range.
If your state restricts injectables to advanced practice providers, consider pursuing NP or PA certification for greater scope. Alternatively, you can work in aesthetic practices performing other services like laser treatments, chemical peels, and consultations while supporting injectors. This positions you for advancement when you complete advanced degrees.
Many RNs 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. Patients often benefit from combined treatments addressing both wrinkles and volume loss. We offer bundled pricing for combined certification.
AAOPM provides job placement resources connecting graduates with employers. You can also search medical spa job boards, contact dermatology practices and plastic surgery offices directly, and network through our community. Many employers specifically seek RNs for their strong clinical skills and patient care abilities.
