The demand for aesthetic procedures is expanding so rapidly that over the past five years, more than 400 med spas, beauty bars, and other dedicated aesthetics clinics have raised over $3.1 billion in investments. As demand for aesthetic procedures continues to grow exponentially, more and more RNs, NPs, PAs, doctors, and dentists are pursuing aesthetic training to expand their practice with an adjunctive approach.
The reason for this is twofold. First, medspas make it easier for aesthetics practitioners to create a focused continuum of care that extends beyond injectables. Second, it satisfies the aspirations of many practitioners to successfully shift from one-off procedures to comprehensive solutions that span the complete customer lifecycle.
Choosing an Aesthetic Provider: Key Factors
Studies show that when patients select a medspa, the providers’ reputation, communicated through online reviews and word of mouth, is the most important factor influencing their decision. But studies also find that second only to a practitioner’s existing reputation is their training background and the expertise it ensures.

Aesthetic Training and Certification
At AAAMS (The American Association of Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery), we are the industry-leading platform for fully-accredited, comprehensive aesthetics training and certification. Since 2006, we have successfully trained more than 5,000 healthcare practitioners worldwide for rewarding careers in aesthetic medicine, and many of our graduates have gone on to open successful medspas.
Foundational Training for Medspa Professionals
If you’re thinking of opening your own medspa or beauty bar, the best way to start is to become certified in Botox, dermal fillers, and chemical peels. If you’re a newcomer to aesthetic medicine, you’ll need to start with these courses. These foundational courses provide students with an overview and introduction to the art and science of facial aesthetics, neuromodulators, and dermal fillers. After completing your prerequisite courses, you’re just one course away from earning your certification.
AAAMS Aesthetic 101 Hybrid Course
The CE Accredited Aesthetic 101 Hybrid is a two-day training intensive taught by physicians that integrates virtual learning with in-person, hands-on training. In this course, you’ll participate in virtual, live classroom lectures, hear case presentations and discussions, and view demonstrations on mannequins and real people. For those who would prefer to earn their aesthetic and botox certification strictly from the comfort of their own home, a fully virtual option is also available.

Advanced Training and Support
After earning your Botox, dermal filler, and chemical peel certification, further specialized training is available. AAAMS also offers support for building and developing your medspa through our professional networking platform, the AAAMS Aesthetics Network. All programs are led by experienced physicians.

Personal Experiences and Business Ventures
Nurse Liz and her business partner, Nicole, discuss all things injectables. Their business partner, Beautox Bar, was started in August of 2016 with the goal to empower their own lives as well as others through aesthetics treatments.
The Evolution of Botox and Injectables
Over the last decade, the collective desire for increased facial definition has been on the rise. Traditionally, injections of wrinkle-relaxants like Botox have been synonymous with expressionless foreheads, overarching eyebrows, and pinched smiles. However, the perception of Botox has evolved significantly. A tiny injection to thin lips can turn them pillowy-soft and luscious, and a prick to the forehead can smooth out fine lines like magic. It is often asked if it is ever too early for Botox, with the general consensus leaning towards a "never too early" approach when considering preventative treatments.
