FAQ

Facial Aesthetics Training FAQ for Physicians

Common questions about facial aesthetics training for physicians.

Absolutely. Our Facial Aesthetics Training is open to physicians from all specialties including family medicine, internal medicine, dermatology, plastic surgery, OB/GYN, emergency medicine, and more. Many physicians add facial aesthetics to diversify their practice and meet patient demand for skin rejuvenation services. No prior aesthetic experience is required.
The course covers chemical peels (AHA including glycolic and lactic acid, BHA including salicylic acid, and TCA peels at various depths), microneedling protocols with and without PRP, microdermabrasion techniques using both crystal and diamond-tip devices, and cosmeceutical science including active ingredients and product formulation. You'll learn patient assessment, treatment selection, and combination therapy approaches.
No. Physicians (MD/DO) have full independent practice authority and can perform all facial aesthetic procedures without supervision in all 50 states. Additionally, you can supervise other providers such as NPs, PAs, RNs, and aestheticians who perform these treatments under your medical direction.
Facial aesthetic services offer excellent profit margins. Chemical peels typically range from $150-500 per treatment depending on depth and type. Microneedling sessions range from $250-700, especially when combined with PRP. Microdermabrasion treatments range from $100-250. Because these treatments require regular maintenance (every 4-6 weeks for some services), they create predictable recurring revenue. Many physicians add $75,000-150,000+ annually with facial aesthetic services.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive an AAOPM Certificate of Completion demonstrating your training in facial aesthetic procedures.
Facial aesthetic treatments work synergistically with injectables like Botox and dermal fillers. While injectables address dynamic wrinkles and volume loss, 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, increasing patient satisfaction and per-patient revenue.
