5 things to know before becoming a cosmetic injector | aesthetic nurse 

Thank you so much Daisy! ❤️

Thank you!

Hi Luna! Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! So exciting to hear about your journey and I wish you all the best with medical school! So many exciting things to come for you!!

@@thefitinjector I'm honestly thinking about just paying for all the training I can and then starting my own business. I have fought for the position as well and I have made an excellent resume and cover letter and its still not working, as a male there are a lot of benefits to hiring me as it is even more female dominated than your usual nursing. There is a certain edge businesses can have by having a male because it attracts male clientele and increases their confidence to discuss aesthetic concerns, and there are many female clients who would be very receptive to inputs and suggestions of a male cosmetic injector. I just say that they will regret not hiring me as I will become their competition instead! (Obviously, not to them directly but internally). Also on another note I got invited in for an interview and told a traineeship position opened up and I was not expected to have any prior experience and she already had access to all my relevant experience and when I was registered, but then she totally back tracked and told me that she was looking for someone with hospital experience and is leaning towards someone with prior cosmetic injector experience. I find it really unprofessional and inconsiderate when they change their mind on what they're looking for after you come in, it's really dishonest. They should be aware of what they're looking for and decide whether your experience is sufficient based on the resume before calling someone in for an interview.

Thanks Kieren!

Hello 👋🏻 That’s so exciting!! You’re so close now!! Thank you so much ❤️

Thank you so much Breanna! Yes that’s a great idea, will add it to my video list! Are you starting your own clinic? 😍💉💋

@@breanna4701 Yay that’s amazing!! I look forward to updates on your journey!! 🙌🏻💉💋

Thanks so much Toni! Really interesting to hear your perspective from the beauty industry! Xx

@@thefitinjector yes I got into it thinking it was about the treating skin conditions which is my passion. It was about retail profit which from a business perspective is essential, that could just be the Gold Coast. On the flip side day spas we’re about the treatments not retail but not skin conditions, all pampering. I am in dental now lol 💗

@@tonifoster6253 Love treating skin conditions! That’s sooo interesting that it’s that way and the comparison with beauty salons and day spas ... assume it’s the same everywhere!

I feel your going to do extremely well in your clinic, you have great knowledge and your products look fantastic. Soon as I move back to the GC will switch to them. Xox

@@tonifoster6253 Thank you so much Toni! It has been the most amazing journey so far, the response from clients, friends, follows has been overwhelming! Yay, would love for you to try them and get your feedback! xx

Thanks for directing and the speedy edit!

Hi Amanda! So exciting! Love that you have started your own education! If you are wanting to work in a clinic as an employee/contractor, I would recommend reaching out to places that you're interested in working with and asking what their requirements are (some places will require you do your own training prior and other places will do on the job training and book/pay for external training as part of the induction process). Looking forward to updates on your journey!

@@thefitinjector thank you so much, so helpful! 🤗🥰

Hi! Thank you so much! Ask anything you like! Do you mean do I get discounts when doing injections for myself? If so, no as I own my own business so I pay for everything lol!

Thank you Randa! So exciting for you!

Sure is! I offer this also!

I believe in you! You got this!

Uhm 29 is not old at all , actually the older you look the more trustworthy and experienced you seem looll

Yea !!!

Possibly yes, I would recommend you book a consult with a practitioner who treats the body areas to assess your suitability for this or other treatments such as fat freezing or liposuction 💉

Hello gorgeous 👋🏻💕

Thank you! Depends on where you are located! Here in Australia you must be a Registered Nurse or Doctor to do cosmetic injectables (or an Enrolled Nurse, however, supervision is required from a RN or DR).

Yes! If there are not many then there is a market there for you to tap into!

Hello! That's so exciting! I do have another video on my journey but in a nutshell was - uni, grad year in a hospital, years of hospital work then into a cosmetic/skin clinic which offered all on the job training then more clinics, contract work, renting rooms, own business!

@@thefitinjector can you own a cosmetic injection business as a registered nurse?

@@sunflower2929 Yes I’m a RN and own a cosmetic clinic.

You will need Professional Indemnity Insurance and Public Liability Insurance which covers the treatments you will be providing. If you are taking on a commercial lease for your clinic you will be required to have a certain amount of insurance also.

@@thefitinjector Dose join ANMF would provide that insurance?

Depends on what structure you have & what level you’re currently at - are you getting started or already working? Do you work for a clinic or have your own business? What type of training do you feel you need? Face to face or online? 💉💋

Training, practice & experience. Having a emergency kit ready at all times and constantly refreshing knowledge in how to manage adverse events 💉💋

Be really open & honest at the consultation. Go through all the risks, expected results, treatment plan. Take photos & book follow up review appointments. This will give the client confidence to raise any concerns with you and feel supported through this.

Also learn when to say no to treatment to avoid issues later on!

@@thefitinjector are you located in FL?

Yes I own my own cosmetic clinic as a Registered Nurse

Hi Kat! Please tell me what a LPN is? Sorry I’m not sure!

It’s a licensed practitioner nurse , so only doing 2 years of nursing instead of 4

@@kataleen Yes I know now just hadn’t seen it written as LPN as we have different wording in Australia! So as a LPN works under supervision from a RN you will need to research the scope of practice for your location as it does vary. Usually this means you can train & do injectables but may have difficulty gaining employment as you will require RN or DR supervision, most cosmetic injectors work independently 💉💋

@@kataleen I thought it was licensed practical nurse... usually takes a year maybe 1.25 years.

Yes I sure do! 💉💋

Rude much? What about your face? 🙂
