One of the greatest things about providing aesthetic medical jobs for nurse practitioners is that it offers nurses a career outside of the traditional areas of medicine, such as hospitals and clinics.
Nurse practitioners are trusted and respected members of the medical community.
Due to the growing demand of patients who want to look and feel younger, nurses are actively looking for reputable aesthetic training to grow their education.
Aesthetic medicine training, which includes Botox® training for nurses, provides the opportunity to become a part of a multi-billion dollar industry and obtain a Botox® certification.
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASPS), in 2013 there were 11 million non-surgical aesthetic procedures performed in the United States and this number continues to grow.

Organizations like the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine (IAPAM) are helping nurse practitioners meet this unprecedented demand by offering aesthetic medical training that includes Botox® training, dermal filler training, laser training, microdermabrasion training, chemical peel training and more.
Botox® is one of the most well-known aesthetic procedures, however, it does not make it the most profitable. Most people turn to Botox® to treat the #1 anti-aging request: wrinkles.
Therefore, it is important for nurse practitioners to receive Botox® training courses and Botox® certifications.
The key to a successful practice is to not only offer Botox® injections to your patients but to also offer other complementary aesthetic procedures, like laser hair removal, skin rejuvenation, and tattoo removal.
This is why aesthetic training for nurses from the IAPAM is an opportunity to obtain hands-on training and certifications nurse practitioners require.

When you look at the most requested minimally-invasive procedures, Botox® always tops the list. There are many FDA-approved botulinum toxins including Jeuveau, Xeomin, Dysport, and of course the most popular of all, Botox®.
If you would like to start performing aesthetic procedures, you are going to need Botox® training courses to know how to perform Botox® injections and obtain a Botox® certification.
It is important to have a solid basis to get started, so when you are evaluating advanced Botox® training courses, make sure they are led by true experts of the skin, and also that hands-on training and techniques are included.

Nurse Practitioners wanting to add Botox as a treatment for their patients, now have a Botox injection training program that is tailored to their specific needs.
NPs can now learn Botox® best practices by attending the industry’s leading dermatologist-lead botox training program.
Botox® training is a critical component of the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium, which offers instruction on the top 5 minimally invasive procedures: Botox, Dermal Fillers, Microdermabrasion, Chemical Peels, and Laser Hair Removal and Skin Rejuvenation.
Yes, NPs can certainly inject Botox®. However, since Botox® is a controlled substance, your State may require that you work with a physician.
First, you should consult with your State nursing board as they will know the latest rules (they do change!).
Basically, if you can currently prescribe (controlled) drugs, you can most likely offer Botox® to your current patients without having a medical director.
If you cannot currently prescribe without a physician, you will most likely need to work with one.
Another check is to contact the producers of Botox® (Allergan) and Xeomin® (Merz) to see if you can order the toxins on your own, or if you need to work with a physician.
Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox® Training: Leading the faculty is a team of renowned cosmetic dermatologists who will cover aesthetic patient consultations, facial anatomy & musculature, Botox/Xeomin/Dysport product preparation, pain management, procedural protocols, post-treatment issues, continuing practice support and quarterback the IAPAM’s significant hands-on portion of the training.
In addition to finding the most experienced faculty of any Botox® training program in North America, NPs will receive:
There are many advantages to being a nurse practitioner (NP). You are a respected and valued member of the medical community, usually the first point of contact for any patients, and you provide the high standard of care and compassion that one needs during times of challenge.
Unfortunately, being an NP also has its challenges: long hours, not much time for breaks, difficult patients and shift work can all wreak havoc on your life and your energy.
It’s no surprise that many NP’s are now added adjunct procedures to their practice – in many cases, to medical aesthetic clinics where they can utilize specialty Botox® training for nurse practitioners, to help patients.
In most states, nurse practitioners can prescribe prescription drugs, so they can start their own practice without a medical director.
In those states that don’t allow NP’s to prescribe, they will need to work with a medical director.
The best parts about these opportunities are not only the hours but the ability to perform specific procedures, such as Botox® and injectables, in an independent manner.
It allows NP’s an opportunity to use their skills in a specialty field while enjoying the flexibility and autonomy of an independent practice.
Further, Botox® and Medical Aesthetics are growing in popularity, especially with the high population of baby boomers reaching a certain age and demanding to look and feel better.
Overall, nurse practitioners who make the jump from the traditional hospital and clinical jobs to the aesthetic field may feel happier, more useful and more financially stable thanks to the profitability and popularity of this booming industry.
Once you have completed your Botox training from the IAPAM and you have been working hard to set up your practice you are going to have to step things up if you want to turn a profit.
Once you’ve completed the proper Botox® training for nurse practitioners, make sure your practice is compliant with your state’s laws.
Usually, if you have prescribing rights, you’ll be able to administer Botox® yourself. If not, you have to hire an on-site physician to act as a medical director when you administer the procedure.
Deciding to offer Botox® services and even completing your Botox® training for nurse practitioners program is relatively simple.
Actually phasing those services into your practice is more complicated. Here are two of the areas you need to consider:
Should you administer the injections and offer the service yourself?
To begin providing patients with aesthetics, start by offering it as a side service that you administer yourself.
Then as your clientele grows and your schedule fills up, bring on someone to help manage the patient load.
You can have this person start as a part-time provider and then move them up to full-time if there is enough demand.
Most cosmetic and aesthetic procedures aren’t going to be covered by a patient’s insurance.
When you use Botox® for medicinal purposes, like to help treat a patient’s migraines, you might be able to bill the patient’s insurance for the procedure.
Check with the insurers you accept to find out exactly how they will and will not cover Botox® injections.
You should also consult with your own insurance to make sure that any Botox®-related procedures you administer are covered with your medical malpractice policy.
As mentioned earlier, Botox® is by far the most popular non-invasive aesthetic procedure.
However, if you want to know more about other aesthetic procedures that are very profitable, you need to consider laser training courses for nurse practitioners as well.
There are many aesthetic procedures that can be treated through laser treatment such as laser hair removal, tattoo removal, skin rejuvenation, treating acne, and other anti-aging procedures.
When looking for a laser training program, make sure it is CME approved and it includes world class techniques and hands-on training.
Chemical Peels are another very profitable and minimally-invasive aesthetic procedure.
As an aesthetic nurse practitioner, you will find many asking you to treat melasma, hyper pigmentation, acne, smoothing rough and dry skin, and treating fine lines and surface wrinkles.
All these conditions can be successfully treated with chemical peels.
Aesthetic training courses that include chemical peel procedures are an important part of any comprehensive aesthetic training program for nurse practitioners.
Another procedure that is very important for the rejuvenation of the skin and goes along with Chemical Peels, is microdermabrasion.
As an aesthetic nurse practitioner, offering microdermabrasion and micro-needling procedures is a key weapon against aging.
These minimally-invasive skin rejuvenation treatments will help your patients have younger looking skin.
