Would love to chat with any of the aesthetic nurses out there, who own thier own busines or those who work for a derm or a plastic surgeon that perform Botox, Restylane, chemical peels, laser hair removal, etc... Also, any nurses out there who p...

I was told by a friend that an RN can give a "relaxation" massage vs. a "therapeutic" massage without any further education. Is this true? We were taught is nursing school to give massages, especially after a bath or prior to hs.

I was trained in Radiesse last month from the rep in the office. We provided the models.They got their treatments for free and we were the injectors with the rep guiding us through. I am sure Allergan and Medicis does this as well. All the reps from ...

You can check out http://www.amen-usa.org/news.html. I am not affiliated with them but it would be a good start. Feel free to PM me sometime so we can talk about your endeavors. I am working as an Independant contractor performing Botox, dermal fill...

Cookeville is nearby and a much better choice. Cookeville Regional Medical Center is a great hospital to work at .

What are the rates like?

How was the paper. Can we see it. Post it here. Would love to take a look at it.

Hey BChapp, I am working on my own aesthetics business, but I am planning on my overhead being low. I am concentrating on the injectables, Botox and Restylane and travelling to local high-end salons and performing these procedures in the salon. So f...

I plan on opening a small medical aesthetics business in Febuary. I plan to perform Botox, Restylane, chemical peels, sclerotherapy and microderm. I am trying to think of a name. So far I have "Premier Aethetics", "Turn Back Time Aesthetics" and "Ski...

Restylane is a dermal filler also called hyaluronic acid. It is injected intradermally under the wrinkle. It acts like a sponge and attracts you body's water to the area to "plump up" the wrinkle. It can also be injected in lips

Try contacting "cosmetic tattooist" or "laser RN". They are both extremely helpful and seem to be doing great with their business. I myself am just starting as a Nurse Entreprenuer performing Botox and Restylane treatments. I'll soon incorporate tatt...

So you are saying that as an RN, I do not need a Medical Director to perform micropigmentation? Legally, my RN license covers me? Where can I find out for sure? There is not much about it in the Nurse Practice Act.

We haven't decided on a percentage for me yet. Still working on the details. The Botox and Restylane I did today was at cost to my friends, not money made for the MD or myself today. The MD was there today to verify that I know what I am doing. From ...

I hate that for FL nurses who went through that course. There is not much you can do except move if you want to perform injectables. I had no problem here in TN finding a medical director. I actually had to choose out of 2 docs. Well I am excited to...

Also, I do know that the "elos" laser made by Syneron is not painful at all. I had it done my self on my upper lip. I had a 50% hair reduction after the first treatment. Occaisionally I fely a tiny "zap", that slightly startled me, more than hurt me....

You can chose to work with a doc who gives the option of dental blocks prior to treatments to lower face. As far as upper face, I do not know of any other options. Botox is not as painful as dermal fillers.

Well I have an interview with a doc starting a Medical Aesthetics business tomorrow to work prn to start. Currently he is performing Botox out of his office and wife's hair salon/spa. Any words of advice? This will be my second interview regarding Me...

I'm back from the Medical Aesthetics conference. It was great!! PM me if you have any questions.

I read an article that in CA, it is illegal for physians to be Medical Directors of a business not owned by them. For example, a medical aesthetic business owned b a nurse, who then pays the MD a percent or a monthly amount to be the medical directo...

You were a great help. I think I have made my decision and have chosen "Skin Esteem"! THANKS FOR EVERYONE'S INPUT!!! LOVE YOU GUYS! :balloons::balloons: NOW I NEED TO COME UP WITH A LOGO!! LOL

Ok. I thought I had narrowed the choices down and "Skin Esteem" was at the top. My friends say it looks good on paper, but it is hard to say. I'm not sure if I agree. What do you guys think?

This is how I came up with the name Skin Esteem.

Sounds like a great idea. Also, remember most newspapers will post a "news release" for free where you can explain you business and your background as well a submit a picture of yourself.

I will let you know about the Austin Medical Aesthetic Seminar that I will be attending from January 20-24 , 2007.

Thanks for your input everyone. Some great ideas!!! You are welcome to make more suggestions!
