FAQ

Facial Aesthetics Training FAQ for Dentists

Common questions about facial aesthetics training for dentists.

Yes, in most states dentists can perform facial aesthetic procedures within the head and neck region. Your dental license provides authority for facial procedures, and many state dental boards have explicitly approved these services. The American Dental Association has recognized facial aesthetics as within the scope of dental practice. Always verify your specific state regulations, as scope varies. AAOPM provides state-specific guidance during the course.
Dentists can typically perform chemical peels using various acids (glycolic, salicylic, TCA), microneedling for skin texture and scarring, microdermabrasion for exfoliation and skin rejuvenation, and recommend medical-grade skincare products. These treatments are particularly effective for the lower face and perioral region, complementing smile makeovers beautifully.
Facial aesthetics naturally extend your expertise in the facial region. Patients seeking smile makeovers with veneers, whitening, or orthodontics often want comprehensive facial rejuvenation. By offering chemical peels, microneedling, and skincare, you can address perioral lines, skin texture, and overall facial appearance in one convenient location. This creates a "total facial transformation" offering that increases patient satisfaction and revenue.
Facial aesthetic services offer excellent profit margins with minimal overhead. Chemical peels range from $150-500 per treatment, microneedling $250-700 per session, and microdermabrasion $100-250. Skincare product sales provide additional ongoing revenue. Because these treatments require regular maintenance, they create predictable recurring income. Many dentists add $50,000-100,000+ annually with these services while strengthening patient relationships.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive an AAOPM Certificate of Completion demonstrating your training in facial aesthetic procedures.
Initial investment is minimal. Chemical peels require only the peel solutions and basic supplies. Microneedling devices range from $300-3,000 depending on the technology. Microdermabrasion machines cost $1,000-5,000. Many dentists start with chemical peels and skincare products, adding devices as patient demand grows. Your existing operatory can be used for treatments, eliminating the need for additional space.
