I leased an office on my own - it was a promotional year lease through a big building in a great area. I had it painted and ordered the chair, steamer, light, and products through Dr. Fam who I trained under - he is at the Dallas Center for Advanced Medical Aesthetics. His Oct. class is full but I think he begins another class in January. He is fabulous! He only ususes pure acids and you'll learn why. I've now used them on several people and they are what he says. No side-effects yet very safe and successful.

i would highly recommend a physician taught coure such as teh dallas center for advanced medical aesthetics. the esthetic institute is more expensive and isn't taught by a physician.

i trained under dr. fam. his course is awesome and the only physician-taught course in the united states that i am aware of. i am now a rn, bsn, medical aesthetics provider and yesterday i received certification in botox injections through aesthetic advancements out of ga. i have paid for all this training myself. its worthwhile, but be prepared to pay. other courses taught in aesthetics are being taught by estheticians or nurses. dr. fam's is highly credible !

RN's are opening skin care clinics around the country with and without MD's on staff or designated as Medical Directors. The Dallas Center for Advanced Aesthetics is the only Physician-taught course I am aware of (others taught by estheticians, etc) that prepares RN's, MD's, and Aestheticians to be Medical Aesthetics Provider. From there, a nurse can open her own business (under state rules) performing duties that do not require MD's. In our state, I opened my own skin care clinic performing pure acid chemical peels (no side-effects and very effective compared to buffered) that are very successful. I work PT in a med spa and contracted as a back up nurse to do Botox on sites where MD's are established or are Medical Directors. The training was offerred to me by a Med Spa wanting a back up nurse - I approached them and asked if I could shadow their nurse and from there, they offerred me the training. I had to pay for the botox vial which was $450 but the training launched my potential and abilities. Clients are then seeing me at different locations for their needs and they don't mind at all. Its the skill and relationship with the RN that they trust and want.
