FAQ

Facial Aesthetics Training FAQ for Registered Nurses

Common questions about facial aesthetics training for registered nurses.

Yes. RNs can perform facial aesthetic procedures including chemical peels, microneedling, and microdermabrasion under physician supervision or delegation. These procedures are within nursing scope of practice when performed under appropriate medical direction, with proper training, and following established protocols. Your nursing education provides an excellent foundation for these clinical procedures.
RNs require physician supervision or delegation to perform facial aesthetic procedures. The specific requirements vary by state but typically involve working under standing orders or protocols established by a supervising physician. The physician doesn't need to be physically present for most procedures but must be available for consultation. Many states allow significant autonomy for trained aesthetic nurses performing these non-invasive treatments.
Absolutely. Aesthetic nursing offers RNs excellent work-life balance with typically Monday-Friday daytime hours, higher earning potential than many traditional nursing roles, a growing job market, and rewarding patient relationships. You'll help patients feel more confident in their appearance while working in a comfortable clinical environment without the physical and emotional demands of hospital nursing.
Aesthetic nurses typically earn $70,000-120,000+ annually, often more than traditional hospital nursing roles, especially when factoring in the improved work-life balance. Facial aesthetic procedures provide opportunities for commission and bonus pay: chemical peels generate $150-500, microneedling $250-700, and skincare product sales provide additional income. Many aesthetic practices offer production bonuses based on services performed.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive an AAOPM Certificate of Completion demonstrating your training in facial aesthetic procedures.
The aesthetic nursing job market is growing rapidly. After completing your training, look for positions at medical spas, dermatology practices, plastic surgery offices, and wellness centers. Your AAOPM certification demonstrates competency to employers. AAOPM also provides job placement assistance and networking opportunities with practices seeking trained aesthetic nurses. Having facial aesthetics training makes you a more attractive candidate, especially when combined with injectable training.
