This site is the work of a group of MD Physician-educators who all run successful practices full-time in addition to teaching aesthetic procedures. Between us we have treated over 500,000 patient encounters and injected over 5 million units of botulinum toxin . We have hired and supervised nurses and nurse practitioners, and taught over 1,000 physicians, nurses and nurse practitioners in aesthetic procedures.
The landscape of both the practice of Aesthetic Procedures and the Training in Aesthetic Procedures has changed dramatically for the worse since the pandemic. We hoped the day would never come that we had to post anything like the “Buyer Beware” content on this site, but here we are. Aesthetic medicine is not a specialty. There is no Board governing it, and there never will be. These are skills that must be practiced responsibly and respectfully by any eligible provider who chooses to offer them.
We love to teach and we want to preserve the quality and reputation of the aesthetic procedures that we skillfully enjoy practicing. However, we cannot teach everyone since we only teach around 150 providers a year. Nevertheless, we would love to help you get started and not get scammed, even if we never meet in person. We welcome you to the medical aesthetic community and hope that you take a few minutes to read our unbiased assessment of the industry and how to reach your full potential in this field.
