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 💗

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

[@m.samanthacandido-panuco6439]

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

[@tsteinyrn]

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!

I have always been interested in becoming a medical esthetician but never took action. Being 28 years old, I now feel insecure about changing career paths, worrying it's too late. I am so happy I stumbled upon your channel, your videos have inspired me to bite the bullet and check out schools in my area! An institute I am interested in has a partnership with Dermalogica and another Aveda. What are your thoughts on Dermalogica vs. Aveda training?

[@TheModernEsthetician]

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.

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 🥰🥰🥰🥰

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.

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.

I’m currently in my 10th week of Esthetician school. I’m conflicted right now because I love helping people see results and see them evolve with confidence, but I want to work in a dermatologist office. I’m in Texas, so we can do microderms, and chem peels as a licensed Esthetician here. I want to be able to administer Botox and have thought about going to laser school but not sure if that’s the route I should go to be more qualified to be in a derm office. I’ve heard you need to be a RN to be able to do this.. not sure what to do.

[@TheModernEsthetician]

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!

[@extraordinellie6569]

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.

[@prettylikeplastic8429]

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.

[@serinawolf5821]

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.

Skin has been my passion for since i can remember and i am truly in it for the medical aspects not the makeup-art. I really hope i can get into this program because i have been in retail for over 13 years and i just need to make this change. I want to be passionate about my job. God i hope i get in. I just want to show them i am a good fit and have done my homework basically all my life. Aaaaagh. I am so nervous. This will be a life changer (a much needed one!)

Hey girl! Soooo I’m currently in Cosmetology school and I love it. I’ve found, though, that I’m so much more intrigued by skin than I am by hair (even though I do love doing hair). I’m just not sure if my cosmo license is enough to get into the skincare field.. I’m sure I’d get a chance to work in a day spa, but that’s not enough for me. I’m more intrigued by the medical side of things that produce real results. I’d just hate to spend another $20k on another school for a license that is so similar..

hi i jut graduated from highschool and i took a few months off to step back and rlly look at my options into what career i wna build and what school to attend bc after highschool, education becomes very expensiveee unfortunately... Medical esthetician seems like an intriguing career for me to enter however I'm a little confused which first step to take. I live in Canada and I know some beauty schools around my city (my parents dont rlly want me to step out of the province, or the country omg) but it's to be just a regular spa type esthetician, not sure if it'll get me to THE medical esthetician level.. There's also universities and colleges.. just confused right now, hope I can receive some feedback! :)

[@andviim760]

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

[@madisonjade329]

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.

[@jessicaputman4890]

I graduated from esthetician school in May & got state licensed in June.. it’s now November and I still can’t find a job because of having no experience. nobody is wanting/willing to hire me with having no precious experience. Its very frustrating and i just feel like giving up on this career choice. My ultimate goal is to be a medical esthetician, but I can’t even get my foot in the door anywhere.

Nothing brings me more joy than helping someone feel fulfilled. My breakouts were insane as a teen so I have a little bit of scaring and pigmentation from that as well as an adult. There is a couple of things I use for my skin. 1)Pore strips 2)lansinoh nipple cream 3) Night cream concha nácar perlop 4) St. Scrub and spf 3 in 1 cream moisturizer 5) Honest face cream This is what’s helped my mild case of pigmentation and scaring. I am excited to learn more about skin and relaxation as a career and self use (:

[@TheModernEsthetician]

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!

hi girl! just a quick question - i'm currently in nursing school at college and it's not for me. my dream is to become a medical esthetician. do you recommend getting a college degree or just going straight to cosmetology/esthetician studying. i don't want to waste anymore time! thank you so much for your help! you inspire me so much 🥰

[@amberreannamillman8620]

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

Could you provide your thoughts on Skinceutical products? The school I'm considering attending for esthetics works with that product line. Thank you for your videos, they're super helpful and informative!

[@TheBrendaAgenda]

Thank you for including tips on researching the products and brands as an advantage during interviews. I wouldn't have thought of that, I too would like to be a medical esthetician, but the schooling options here in Hawaii are so limited...I'm still going to try my best and look for a good school as a stepping stone towards my career. Thank you for this video! : )

Absolutely Loving your videos! I am one final practical exam away from being a licensed Aesthetician and these videos are giving me the motivation I need to keep going to do what I know I’ll love! I am wondering if you have any other social media you are actively posting on that we could follow to see more of the field? Instagram, or Facebook? Thank you!

Hi! I love your video and it really solidified my decision to become a Medical Esthetician. I've been scrolling through comments and I don't know if I'm blind or deaf (if you've mentioned it in the video,) but I have a few questions. Do you need a general associate's degree/a plain medical license to work as a Medical Esthetician? How can I get the medical esthetician license? Thank you so much for the informative video

[@londrad1769]

What would be the major difference between being an esthetician and being an aesthetics nurse? Besides the schooling of course lol! Would you say they take up the same duties? I know estheticians can get certified to do various procedures, so eventually they are able to do what Aesthetics nurses do right? I am doing my Esthetician license program, but I want to work at a medical setting, like with a dermatologist or laser/skin centers and such. Would you say going into nursing is the way to go, or should I just get my esthetician license and obtain other certifications to perform variety of procedures?

[@silviasilver51]

Nurses can do injections like vitamins or Botox fillers

This is such an awesome video with valuable information. I just received my license but NEED more information on skin. I'm thinking of taking more skin care classes and just building my confidence and then take that next step into working in a Dr's office. Do you have any pointers on what to do out of school? Thank you for the inspiration!!!!

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!

[@pajkublove]

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

[@justicehayes4715]

In Oregon you have to have your aesthetics license first. Then you have to have an additional 500 to 600 extra hrs working with lasers and chemicals. It's important to go to a school that gives you hands on practice. You can not do botox or anything that requires neeedles. You pass your tests, then you can work with a plastic surgeon or Derm. Some people go out on their own. It's a great career. Know what your state laws are and if you ever move to another state, know what they require before you move. Do your research.

This is so crazy to come across. I remember doing research because I was not happy with being an English major and wanted to see what it was like to get an esthetician.

[@TheModernEsthetician]

Claudia Viscuso yay!! Do it if your inspired to, it’s the best industry! Being a medical Esthetician means you work with a doctor, so under the doctors license/Guidance/insurance you are able to preform more result oriented treatments and offer products that are only sold through a M.D. license such as prescriptions and high concentrated products that produce RESULTS. You learn about the skin, post procedures skin care, science and much much more... please let me know if you have more questions. Thanks for watching!!!!!😘😘😘😘🙏🙏🙏

[@TheModernEsthetician]

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!!😘😘😘

Leatrice Singleton yay, thank you😘😘😘 I have heard and seen amazing results with microneedling, there isn’t much that can help with stretch marks but microneedling def helps reduce the appearance. The best products for stretch marks is a glycolic wash and moisturizer and a retinol, these products significantly reduce stretch marks.

I love your videos! Your knowledge is great and you seem very client based I love that! I'm currently a Massage Therapist and I'm going to school to add an esthetician license under my belt starting November 2018. I love massage therapy work and helping people achieve goals, and find self-care. It's just so strenuous on my body I know I can't do it for very long. The medical esthetician is very appealing to me, and I wonder if you know how well those two licenses would work together in the medical Esthetics world, besides having a very relaxing facial due to my massage background.

[@oshritappelboimgiese7584]

Hi I watched your video all of it! English is not my first language but I did dig everything you said. I’m looking forward to do the medical esthetician licensee here in California . I have 25 years of experience as esthetician from out of the state. So that’s what I would like to do medical esthetician . Working with a dermatologist plastic serger . Right now I live in an area that don’t have so many dermatology docs. I have so much experience and need and love getting people to the results they are seeking for. I would love to talk to you and ask questions if that’s ok with you. And yes you have an amazing skin and you are very pretty. And I can see that you are sincere and love your work. Thank you for inspiration to all of us that lost it for a wile. I do want to invite you when I ll get into a job to a facial treatment for free just cause you gave from your time. Xoxo Oshrit

[@mariahmills328]

I just finished school and I’m having a hard time finding a job without experience. A medispa contacted me to be a front desk esthetician but the pay is only $10/hr with some add on service commission. I will learn so much there but I thought the pay would be more so I’m not sure if I should take it

[@TheModernEsthetician]

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.

[@mariahmills328]

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! 😊

[@TheModernEsthetician]

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😘😘

[@mariahmills328]

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:(

[@mango8793]

Im about to graduate high school and want to become a medical esthetician. I know you said medical estheticians make “good money” working in a medical setting with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. So my question is what is the typical salary of a medical esthetician working in a medical office?

[@TheModernEsthetician]

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?!

I have always loved loved loved skincare and makeup! That was the whole reason I signed up for beauty school in the beginning. So recently I dropped hair and now am going to start esthetics and skincare, plus nails. I definitely want to conti ue my education after cosmetology school and go into an estethician school.
