Physician Burnout? Consider Medical Aesthetics!

Becoming a physician remains one of the most challenging career paths. It requires extensive schooling followed by intense residencies. 

For some, this career path is more tedious than expected with little to no work-life balance. This is why many physicians are taking the plunge into medical aesthetics! 

Medical aesthetics offers physicians several benefits, including a growing client base as the industry continues to experience growth from year to year. 

Why Physicians Should Consider Medical Aesthetics

Cosmetic procedures continue to experience growth, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

Last year, $16.7 billion was spent on minimally invasive treatments like laser hair removal, Botox, dermal fillers and body contouring. Among the 15.7 million aesthetic treatments performed in 2017, a two percent increase over the year prior, the top procedures continue to be cosmetic injectables and laser hair removal.

With increased interest in aesthetic treatments, physicians suffering a work burnout are making the switch to the medical aesthetics industry. Let’s explore the benefits:

• Supplemental income. Physicians can earn additional income by adding cosmetic services to their business. For example, a physician could see four Botox clients in one hour and make $1,540.
• Cash-in-hand services. Medical aesthetics is a cash-based business, so medical practitioners do not have to go through insurance.
• Flexible schedule. Physicians can choose when they want to work and see clients around their schedule.
• Short training courses. The training to become a cosmetic injector doesn’t take years to complete. Short courses are available and can be completed in as little as a weekend!
