How do I become a medical Esthetician? My journey becoming a Medical Esthetician 

Jes Lynn how'd it go?

Jes Lynn good luck

SinFull Lashes it ended up being cancelled.. a few months later they reached out again asking if i still wanted an interview.. had 2 interviews and got the job!!

@@jeslynn6022 that's great! What's the annual pay? What area/state?

What’s the salary? That’s what I want to do so I’d love to know!

SinFull Lashes how you get that ??

Hind Gardezi Esthetics school:)

SinFull Lashes omg!!!! That makes me soooo happy, you are the reason why I did these videos!!! Get it girl, connect with my on Instagram @themodernesthetician !

Which school did you go to??? Im a high school graduate and have always told myself I wanted to be a cosmetologist but now that I researched more into Esthetician I feel like it’d fulfill me more!! I’m just having trouble with choosing the right school.. (I’m also from ILL btw!!!)

SinFull Lashes hey! I’m a youtuber and from Chicago and I’m debating which school to go to here :( can u tell me which school u went to??

Ok don’t come for me but what’s the difference???!!

Omg I was just thinking about doing this for the past few days! I am definitely going to go for this too 💕

When you go to nursing school you are trained for multiple fields, ie. General med-surg, peds, L&D, cardiology, oncology, etc. For an Associate - ASN (2yr) & Bachelors - BSN (4yr) RN degree you will not specialize in a field. After your BSN you can start a Masters - MSN program to become an Advanced Nurse Practitioner - ANP however, it's been my experience w/ the APN programs I searched, you are required to have 5 years of clinical practice. I went to IU for ANP school. There, you can major in different fields of practice. I've been a nurse for over 20 yrs and have worked in numerous specialties w/in the hospital as well as working for insurance companies doing case management and utilization reviews. I've not worked in a surgery center or Dr office but, would love to work w/ a plastic surgeon!

@@fabwithtabbAesthetics See my LONG comment in the public comments 🙂. Hope it help answer some of your questions. If not, ask away lol

The Modern Esthetician Do you think PCA is strong enough to make a real change in the skin? I work as an Esthetician at a massage envy. We use Murad and PCA. I def think pca is better. Thanks

The Modern Esthetician I am going to school to be an esthetician next August and would LOVE to work in the medical field. I actually have been considering going to nursing school so I can administer Botox and do more. But I’m going to start with esthetician school. I’d love to connect with you and learn from you more. Do you ever mentor? We’re not in the same state but wondering if I could learn from you more personally! Let me know what you think 💗

I want to! I'm really not sure how i can or where to start!

The Modern Esthetician I am in north Hollywood in Los Angeles and I really want to go to get my license and work as an esthetician! I have done research and all I can find are 2 week courses from spas (which I want to do also). Where can I actually get my license? I need your help because I want to start soon!

Kalei Akaka Check dpor website for regulations in your state and licensed schools.

KATE DNLYCT you are so inspiring! I️ feel like being 28 is playing in your favor, you are at a perfect age to start, you are a woman and know what you want, you are intentional about being an Esthetician and want to help women feel confident in their skin! Go girl! Dermalogica is a great start for people (it’s what I️ started with) but if you have a choice I️ would def go with aveda. But, I️ would recommend visiting each school and going with the school you are drawn too! Follow your heart. Following my heart is what got me as far as I️ have gotten in this industry, I️ started as a product specialist and ended up running the whole practice to a dermatologist laser medi-spa! Just follow your desire, and keep going!!! Thanks for watching, let’s keep I️n Touch during your journey.

Girl Iam 33 years old raising a 13 year old and I’m going to esthetician school. This is more like a hustle/ career change for me don’t let your age stop you! Go for it and good luck 🗣

I graduated from esthetics school in March and there was a lady in my class who was a mother of two twenty year olds! She had always wanted to be an esthetician, but she had been a flight attendant for 20 years!! Its never too late!!

KATE D ... aveda and dermalogica... are the worst products what exist...

28 is very young! It is not too late! I am 44 and still going to school!!! Do it! Do what will make you happy!!! Cheers to a bright, happy and successful life!

Stephanie Silva OMG! Thank you babe!!! I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know and write this comment! I’m so proud of you, you will do amazing in this industry. Are there any topics you would want me to do another video on?!?

ShesArizza I’m in the exact same boat ! Did you get any answers ??

You have to start out getting the basic level of esthiology being spa level esthetics and after that you can find a job working as a medical esthetician.In Texas you can get licensed and certified to do things like laser and botox only AFTER you are a licensed esthetician.

@Hujeenn thank you🙌🏽

Hi Me too! I'm a licensed Cosmetologist but my passion has always been makeup and skin! Im 29 and restarting my career path away from hair. Nerve wrecking! Good luck on your journey!

Life with M&A move to Vegas and transfer your license to Nevada. Cosmetologist have more hours.and education than est licensed. You actually know more than they do. Then go to NIMA its laser tech school. You don't need to be a RN to work in Nevada as a laser tech. You just need to be licnwseed climatologist and laser trained and certified. You work under a Dr in Nevada.

Ohh yes please do this!!

Emily Summerlin that’s so awesome your I. School to be an Esthetician! You really can see a huge difference in people skin as an Esthetician when you work for a Doctor because you can use much high concentrated products. I’m not sure of the laws in Texas but in California you def have to be a nurse to do botox and juvederm. Those procedures don’t interest me but if you were a Esthetician and an R.N. You would be highly employable at a medica/laser spa I’m a manager and if you were both a nurse and Esthetician I would hire you in a heart beat! You have so much time to figure it all out. Let me know if you have more questions!

You need to be a medical professional in order to administer botox. Nursing school is rough though :S Plus, you'd have to do a separate licensing to inject botox and fillers.

In the state of Texas, as long as you are working in a facility that has a NP or Dr. As the Director, then you can do the injections. You have to be trained though, which is very thorough and in depth.

What school did you choose in Texas??

Vannabrooke101 thank you so much!!!!!!! Your words mean the 🌎 💓💓 keep going!!!

hey rosalie ,im planning on joining new york school of esthetics,can you please help me in telling me which school did u go to?ive heard amazing reviews of christine valmy.TIA

@@mahaaijaz156 christine Valmey is good but I went to Atiler Estithique. They are both great schools. Good luck

What school did you train at?

@@alllivesmatter1792 Atelier Esitique NYC

love ndubuisi Southwest Institute of Natural Aesthetics. Tempe, AZ

Citrus Community College in Glendora , California has an amazing 6 month - 1 year program !

Jaimie Graves hey! Yes I’m still in California:) it would be the best decision you made, because you learn soooooo much. Even if you eventually go on your own you will take with you so much knowledge and experience that will set you apart. Please let me know if you have any questions along your journey!

Paige Barnes hey! Stumbled upon your question! I’m 25 and graduated college but felt my career wasn’t fulfilling. My fiancé’s father is a dermatologist and that’s what lead me into admiring the field. So I decided to take the jump an enroll in clinical (medical) esthetician. To be completely honest you necessarily don’t need to graduate college but they do require a highschool/GED diploma. It’s your choice to complete college especially if you want a back up plan but..instead of the basic 300 hours if I were you I would do the 720 hours which is more advance which they call clinical (medical) esthetician. I completed the course less than 9 months and love what I do! Especially because school was also less than 12k. I received a 6k scholarship and only less than 6k in financial aid which was way cheaper than a 4 year bachelors degree. Every state is different but I live in Florida so that was my tuition quote which was part time. I attended school Monday-Friday 9am to 1pm and after went straight to work to help out at the office. I honestly think if you want to do it, do it!!!! You won’t be disappointed, I promise!!!! Xoxo

Amber Reanna Millman I’m also in Florida, and am a licensed cosmetologist, but am now interested in Med spa training. Can you recommend the school you went to here Amber? Thanks in advance. 💜

livewell2fold where in Florida do you live?

@@amberreannamillman8620 Hi, I am also in Florida and would like to know what program you attended ?

@@amberreannamillman8620 your school name please

Amia Benson thank you!!!😘😘 your comment makes me so happy! It can be hard for creditable information, I find the most information comes from brands who offer trainings. PCA skin is amazing and full of knowledge about the skin and chemical peels and also offers hands on trainings. I’ll look into more resources for you too. Do you have any topics you want me to make a video on? Thanks for your encouragement !!😘😘😘😍 lets keep in touch, I’m here to help🙌🙌🦄🦄

Modern Monroe thank you, that helps so much ! I would love to hear about your crazy product obsession atm. Seems to be very interesting because I've never heard a medical estheticians crazy obsession! 💜

I would love to hear an update about how everything has been going for you with you starting that journey and where you are now!!!!

Amia Benson Update?❤️☺️

Kathryn Elisabeth omg it’s been years omg wow. Well before the quarantine, I was in a little shop performing facials! (: a lady who does eyebrow threading, she has her little shop just her. I got my eyebrows done one day, and at the tome I was freelancing. Going to others homes. I loved it a lot. And I let her know about and if she ever wanted one to let me know. A day later my pastor asked me what I was wanting to do in life or needing, and I let him know, he replied with, so a building to perform the facials ? And I was yes ! And not even two days later my eyebrow lady asked me if I wanted to use her open room for eyebrows! Glory to God, what a miracle like wow. So I began doing them there, and I got to bring in to the practice my type of flow, my style, it was so angelic and beautiful! I looooved doing the massaging. Thank you guys for wondering, means a lot 🥰🥰🥰🥰

me too

Nurses can do injections like vitamins or Botox fillers

No you can become a registered nurse then specialize in aesthetics

Mandy Ohearen yay that’s so exciting for you, you willll love being an Esthetician!😍😍 I only took classes after I started working for a dermatologist through our service and product companies. Working along side a dermatologist for 8 years has been the most valuable education I could ever imagine, there aren’t many additional classes out there for medical Estheticians so that’s why I wanted to start making videos to help women like you! Let me know if you have another topic you want a video on!!😘😘😘😘

Where do we get medical esthetician certificate? I'm already a Cosmo

I love seeing passion in people who are young. I had a lot of passion at a young age too. There are programs that help students in high school do beauty school while in high school. When you are ready for that, look into the beauty school programs in your area. Keep going and listening to your passion, that is the way to success both inside and financially. keep in touch 😊✨

I just saw your comment thanks for giving the suggestions I really appreciate it😃😃

I am on the same boat! Did you end up going to Esthetician school?

I'm finishing up my RDA and wanting to go to school for this next and work part time in both fields. Working full time as a dental assistant will drive you insane.

This is seriously me right now!!!!

Girl same I been in the field for 4 years idk if I should do hygiene school or med for esthetician I’m 24 and clearly still not sure what I want

Jessie Coffin that is so exciting!! You seem to have so much passion for skin and that’s exactly what it takes to go to the top and be the best!! Keep going! You don’t have to take extra training you just have to start working for a plastic surgeon or dermatologist and get experience and typically the medical spa/ laser center will send you on trainings and have trainers come in to help educate you. This industry in a multi billion dollar industry and constantly growing!! Keep going, I just know you be be very successful!

Megan Whitney hey girl! I def encourage you to become an Esthetician, you can do so many things with it! All those lines have great things about them, so if your in love with them, keep using them and start adding a few stronger products into your routine. Panoxyl is a cleanser that is the one thing that I swear by, it can be purchased at some @Walgreens and it’s only $12! Get it, it used to be a prescription! And than add the product: Pore Therapy , from the medical line obagi! You can get that product from online @thedermstore dermstore.com you will have glowing clear skin in no time!!😘😘😘

Jacksons Rice that’s so awesome that you know what you want to do at such a young age!! I knew very young as well! I️ loved going to school to become an Esthetician. You go and get to learn about everything girls love to do on a daily. If you feel drawn to it, do it! This could be one stepping stone to what you actually will end up doing in your life... this industry is huge, my advice is always be nice and genuine to people because you never know who you could be talking to😊

If you're in the u.s some states offer evit which is a program which allows you to get an aesthetician or medical assistant license while you're in high school! I highly recommend it!!

I'm in new Jersey and here estheticians can work on patients/clients with not so abrasive products such as facials, microdermabrasion, certain chemical peels, wax, makeup tattoo,... but an aesthetician is more medical they work with actually more stronger products of chemical peels, lasers removals for hair, scars, and tattoos, they work with injectables such as fillers botox ect. They need more hours and $$ for that career it's more medical based

Pa Kou Xiong congratulations!!! You will love this industry!! You should look into PCA skin care they have multiple trainings to advance your education!! Good luck girl, let’s keep in touch!

Thank you for your response! I will definitely look into PCA skin care. Your guidance is appreciated!

Me too, i believe we could train under an dermatologist as they train since we are already licensed for skin we just need experience in the other stuff

Did you go ahead with it? I'm 32 and was thinking I'm I too old to start fresh. Being scared of the unknown.

E Silva no not yet. I was in a bad marriage for 20 years and couldn’t get out because of lack of confidence. I had a typical emotional abusive husband. Anyway I took the leap and left him with my two teenage kids and are living on my own so much more happier and I’m looking into now becoming an esthetician. I feel afraid that the younger girls will be more creative and better than me but everyone is different and Have diffferent skills

@@alsadat77 aaaw I'm sorry to hear. Glad you were able to have the strength and courage to leave. Good to know that you're taking those steps to become one. You have now motivated me to do the same, like they say it's never too late to start fresh. You will do great especially now there's so much out there with youtube, instagram and Facebook for inspiration. Don't give up on it. I'm doing it for my 1 year old son as I'm a single parent. Good luck with the new career. X

ginger davis thank you😘😘😘✨✨ new video coming very soon!!!! Thanks for the comment babe!!✨✨✨✨✨😍😘😘

Did you ever get an answer to your question anywhere? I’m wondering the same thing

Terry Hunter apparently there is a such thing as a medical esthetician. Look it up their salary is also more than the “industry standard” esthetician. (A lack of a better term was used)

There is such thing as a medical esthetician, they work in medical spa under the supervision of a doctor. At least in California, which is where she's from and I'm from. There are treatments that are given that should be only given under doctor supervision.

Jenna Rodriguez omg girl! I am so honored and SO proud of you!!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏

Vanessa Garcia yay!!! So happy you found me too! I’m excited for you, share your journey!!😘😘😘🔥🔥🙌🙌

Janie Norris yes!!! Love connecting to other estheticians!! Keeep going after your dreams and watch the ways become clear!✨✨🙌

Flo hello love! Thank you for the nice words🤗😘 there is no program to become a medical Esthetician, so you have to find a job under a doctor (dermatologist or plastic surgeon) and under their insurance and guidance with time working for them you are able to do more/stronger/more effective procedures and provide stronger products such as RX products to your clients. I highly recommend this for a few years because you will learn SO much and eventually you can go on your own if you choose that route. Thanks for commenting, so you follow me on Instagram?! Find me @themodernesthetician

Flo from which university you are doing your esthetician’s program I m also interested into doing this

In California you need your nursing degree. To do laser or botox. From what I know some doctors do hire estheticians to work under them. I'm an skin therapist and I wish I had gotten my nursing degree.

sarah adams yay! So exciting, your almost there! Yes I love Instagram and just gave my account a face life, start to follow me and I’ll follow back😘😘 @themodernmonroe

Noooo. Just an esthetician license and training under a dermatologist

Jacob Coffey yes! Are a cosmetologist you can do hair,nails and skin✨🙌

Mariah Driggers it depends, you have to follow your heart. I worked the front desk, and It made me a better esthetician. I learned how to run a successful practice. When your at the front desk you are essentially running the business. When you learn the front of the house it can only make you better when you get into the back. You could go back and tell them you would love the position but you would like to be the first considered for an Esthetician position when it opens up. Congratulations on getting the job! Once your in, your in. But please listen to your intuition, trust yourself and follow how you feel. When you go with your passion the money will follow.

Modern Esthetician that is very true. My intuition thinks it’s a good place to start, I entered this field so I could work with a doctor so any step in that direction is progress. I’m just worried about being stuck in the same position with low pay, I’m making more money where I work now but not growing as an esthetician. Thanks so much for your response and advice :) please continue making videos, you help us future estheticians SO much! 😊

Mariah Driggers have you asked them to match what your making currently? It can’t hurt to ask and know your worth. And thank you for the support and follow😘😘

Modern Esthetician not yet, I initially applied for an esthetician position and listed my prior salaries but since I had no experience she brought up being a front desk esthetician and said that it won’t pay more than $10/hr but I’ll have commission opportunities with services but it’s mainly front desk. At the interview I’ll ask for more but she made it seem like it’s non negotiable over email. I want to be set in stone that I need more but worried I’ll be missing out on experience if I deny the offer:(

Vangie Macias wow that’s so awesome that you are on your own!!! Congratulations 🎉 there isn’t any legit trainings other than working under a doctor to become an Esthetician. I couldn’t have even paid for the training and experience I got from training directly with a doctor. I would suggest reaching out to the product/service brands you carry for additional trainings. PCA skin care has amazing trainings to advance your knowledge.. I will let you know of more as time goes on😘😘😘😍 thanks for the comment!! Any other video you like a video on?!?

Modern Monroe Thank you so much!!

@@vangiemacias22 Hi Vangie congratulations on ur business....i been looking foward to that also in California...how's that going for u so far ..are u working on ur own or with a nurse also?

@fY Carlos It’s going good...I am a solo Esthetician...Love having my own business & being my own boss!!

Do you like it? Is it rewarding?
