5 Things You (Probably) Don’t Know About Medical Aestheticians

Most of us are highly familiar with the term “aestheticians” as those who work in the skincare and beauty industry performing treatments that improve various skincare concerns. This involves anything from waxing, body wraps, facials, peels, and so on. But as technology advances and newer, more effective treatments come into development, the term “medical aestheticians” has been born.

Today we’re highlighting the top 5 things you most likely didn’t know about medical aestheticians:

5. Medical aesthetics is defined as “the discipline of skincare health” (source). Those who become medical aestheticians are trained to use advanced technology in order to improve skincare health and appearance. These treatments can include Botox, laser hair reduction, dermal fillers, laser tattoo removal, and more.

4. The pioneer of “medical aesthetics” was Anna D. Rinehart, who was both a nurse and aesthetician. She helped to develop and improve protocols, treatments, and procedures that don’t require surgery.

3. In order to be a medical aesthetician, you must be a medical professional (MD, DO, RN, etc.) because you are handling cosmetic injectables such as Botox and dermal fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, etc.) However, aestheticians, cosmetologists, and those who want to change careers to the beauty industry can receive cosmetic laser training in order to become a cosmetic laser technician where they will be able to treat clients with highly in demand treatments like laser hair reduction, radiofrequency skin tightening, IPL photofacial skin rejuvenation, laser tattoo removal, and more.

2. Medical aestheticians aren’t limited to working in a doctor’s office. Many medical aestheticians have gone on to work at dermatology clinics, medical spas, OBGYN clinics, salons, fitness centers, or have even opened up their own spa/business in order to offer clients these types of services.
