What You'll Learn in Facial Aesthetics Training
A comprehensive curriculum covering everything dentists need to safely and effectively perform facial aesthetic procedures.
Skin Anatomy & Physiology
Master the layers of skin structure including epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. Understand skin types, Fitzpatrick scale classification, wound healing mechanisms, and how different treatments affect each layer for optimal results.
Chemical Peel Protocols
Learn superficial and medium-depth peel techniques using AHA (glycolic, lactic), BHA (salicylic), and TCA formulations. Master proper concentration selection, application methods, neutralization, and combination peels for perioral rejuvenation.
Microneedling Techniques
Master device selection, needle depths, treatment protocols for facial skin texture, fine lines, and acne scarring commonly seen around the mouth and lower face.
Microdermabrasion
Learn crystal and diamond-tip techniques, proper settings for different skin concerns, and how to combine with other modalities for comprehensive facial treatments.
Cosmeceutical Science
Understand active ingredients including retinoids, vitamin C, niacinamide, peptides, and growth factors. Create effective at-home skincare protocols for patients.
Patient Assessment & Safety
Develop consultation skills, contraindication screening, pre/post care protocols, and complication prevention specific to facial aesthetic procedures.
Facial Aesthetics Scope of Practice for Dentists (DDS/DMD)
Understanding your capabilities and opportunities as a DDS or DMD performing facial aesthetic procedures.
Facial Region Expertise
As licensed dentists (DDS/DMD), your training in facial anatomy, oral-maxillofacial structures, and patient care provides an excellent foundation for facial aesthetic procedures. Many state dental boards recognize facial aesthetics within the scope of dental practice, particularly for the lower face and perioral region. Your existing expertise in anesthesia, sterile technique, and patient management transfers directly to these procedures.
Revenue Potential
Add high-margin services that complement cosmetic dentistry without significant equipment investment or additional operatories.
Procedures You Can Perform
- Superficial to medium chemical peels
- Microneedling for skin texture

Patients investing in veneers, whitening, or orthodontics want their entire face to look refreshed. Offer comprehensive facial rejuvenation alongside dental treatments.
Leverage Existing Patients
Your established patient base trusts you with their appearance. Facial aesthetics are a natural upsell that increases per-patient revenue without costly acquisition.
State Regulations
Dental scope of practice varies by state. Many states explicitly permit facial aesthetic procedures for dentists, while others have broad language covering the head and neck region. AAOPM provides guidance on state-specific regulations and documentation requirements for your practice.
