Just had an interview at a med spa!!

Really hoping for a call back. In the mean time I plan on researching the cosmetic procedures I will be responsible for. I know that making recommendations will come w time and experience but does any one have any tips? Kind of clueless about what kind of fillers to recommend for certain folds and wrinkles. Or is that something the doctor does? And also, what's a good amount of training? Thanks in advance!

It really depends on what products and brands your doctors like to use. Some spas like to use Botox over Dysport and they come in different units. It is not like one product is better than the other. It is just doctors' preference. For fillers, like Radiesse last about 12-16 months , it is usually used for cheeks and hands and not recommended for lips or tear trough. All these will probably be gone through by the doctors at your spa when you are hired. I think most doctors are looking for nurses who are willing to learn. They want the nurses who are personable and able to sell products to their clients. I am not currently working in this area yet but I do notice that they usually don't like to hire nurses who have bad skin or smoke. With that said, I guess try to dress your best, be professional and tell them you are willing to learn, they will probably give you extra credit for that.
