For Nurse Practitioners

Facial Aesthetics Scope of Practice for Nurse Practitioners

Understanding your expanding capabilities as a nurse practitioner in facial aesthetic medicine.

Expanding Practice Authority

Nurse practitioners have significant and growing autonomy in aesthetic medicine. In full practice authority states (over 25 and counting), NPs can independently perform facial aesthetic procedures without physician oversight. In reduced or restricted practice states, collaborative agreements with physicians allow NPs to provide these services. Your advanced nursing education and training provide an excellent foundation for chemical peels, microneedling, and other facial aesthetic procedures.

25+ Full practice authority states

Earning Potential

Aesthetic NPs earn significantly more than traditional roles. Facial aesthetics add recurring revenue streams that boost your income substantially.

$150K+ average aesthetic NP salary

Procedures You Can Perform

  • Superficial to medium chemical peels
  • Microneedling with PRP
  • Microdermabrasion treatments
  • Skin analysis and consultations
  • Cosmeceutical recommendations

Career Opportunities

Work in medical spas, dermatology clinics, plastic surgery practices, or start your own aesthetic practice in full practice authority states.

Complement Your Skills

Facial aesthetics enhance injectable results. Combining Botox and fillers with skin treatments creates comprehensive rejuvenation packages and higher patient satisfaction.

Practice Arrangements

In full practice authority states, you can own and operate your own aesthetic practice independently. In other states, collaborative agreements with physicians are required but typically allow significant autonomy in day-to-day practice. AAOPM provides guidance on structuring compliant practice arrangements in your state.

Certification & Credentials

Receive your AAOPM Certificate of Completion. This certification demonstrates competency to employers, patients, and insurance providers, making you a competitive candidate for aesthetic positions.

FAQ

Facial Aesthetics Training FAQ for Nurse Practitioners

Common questions about facial aesthetics training for nurse practitioners.

It depends on your state. Over 25 states grant NPs full practice authority, allowing independent practice without physician oversight. In these states, you can open your own aesthetic practice and perform facial procedures independently. In reduced or restricted practice states, a collaborative agreement with a supervising physician is required. Facial aesthetic procedures like chemical peels, microneedling, and microdermabrasion are typically well within NP scope with proper training.
NPs can typically perform a wide range of facial aesthetic procedures including chemical peels (AHA including glycolic and lactic acid, BHA including salicylic acid, and medium-depth TCA peels), microneedling with and without PRP, and microdermabrasion. You can also recommend and sell medical-grade skincare products (cosmeceuticals) and create comprehensive treatment plans for skin rejuvenation.
Absolutely. Aesthetic medicine offers NPs excellent work-life balance with typically regular business hours, significantly higher earning potential (often $150,000-200,000+), and growing patient demand for non-surgical rejuvenation. Facial aesthetic procedures complement injectable services like Botox and fillers, allowing you to provide comprehensive skin rejuvenation. The field continues to grow as more patients seek non-invasive treatments.
NPs in aesthetics typically earn $100,000-200,000+ annually, significantly more than many traditional NP roles. Facial aesthetic procedures add valuable recurring revenue streams: chemical peels generate $150-500 per treatment, microneedling $250-700 per session, and medical-grade skincare product sales provide ongoing commission income. Because these treatments require regular maintenance, they create predictable income and strong patient relationships.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive an AAOPM Certificate of Completion demonstrating your training in facial aesthetic procedures.
Facial aesthetics and injectables work synergistically for optimal patient outcomes. While Botox addresses dynamic wrinkles and fillers restore volume, chemical peels, microneedling, and microdermabrasion improve skin texture, tone, and overall quality. Offering both allows you to create comprehensive treatment plans that address all aspects of facial aging. Many patients want "total facial rejuvenation," and having both skill sets makes you more valuable to employers and patients.
