Hello Everyone,

Was doing some research on the web and came across this unfamiliar term. . . turns out its a fancy name for a nurse cosmetician with the added bonus that they can do botox shots, skin peels, collagen replacement and provide other services under the direction of a physician.

Makes for a cool career alternative for someone who's into looking great. . . these are a few nurses that have run with the opportunity.

Medical Esthetics: Sorting it Out by Bonnie T. Canavino, Isnow.com-esthetics:"What is "Medical Esthetics"? It's a big question these days. Since the medical community and the private skin care industry have not clearly defined the term, spas are using all sorts of language, including Para-medical Esthetics, Medical Esthetics, Clinical Esthetics and Medi-Spa esthetics. It's all a little confusing, so don't feel like your out of the loop. But lets clarify some of this language from a medical standpoint. Medical Esthetics and Clinical Esthetics refer to nurses and licensed technical practitioners working in a doctor's office. Medi-Spa Esthetics refers to a Licensed Esthetician working under the watchful eyes of a doctor on location. Note: not all states allow Licensed Estheticians to perform cosmetic esthetic medical procedures with or under doctor supervision. So where does this leave spas and salons?"
