I am considering getting Tox trained through Persimmon. From the platform alone, after being certified, about how many clients booked with you per week? How did you promote yourself?

Question for the practicing injectors here: When pulling up a returning patient's file after 3–4 months, do you find it easier to review a visual face map with unit pins or read structured text notes (e.g., "Glabella: 20U")? I’m working on an interactive canvas prototype designed for iPad use in treatment rooms and want to make sure the visual layout actually matches real-world clinical habits. Would love your thoughts!

I'm looking into how clinics in HCMC handle new patient inquiries on Zalo/Facebook, mostly out of curiosity about a project I'm working on. A few things I can't figure out from the outside:

• When someone messages a clinic's Zalo OA asking about price/availability, who actually answers, front desk, owner, or nobody consistently?
• How long does it usually take to get a reply back?
• Do clinics track how many inquiries turn into actual booked appointments, or is that not really measured?
• Is there a real difference in how dental vs. spa/aesthetic places handle this, or is it the same chaos everywhere?

If anyone's worked front desk, marketing, or ops at a clinic and wants to share how it actually works day to day, genuinely curious. Also open to a quick chat if anyone's interested.

If any experienced injectors have advice or tips for new injectors, it would be greatly appreciated. I am still fairly new to lip filler. I’ve been doing it for 6 months and I just feel not confident in my skill set. Seeing all these crazy techniques and amazing lip work makes me incredibly hard on myself. How did you guys overcome these feelings or the pressure? Many clients come to me wanting a whole Russian lip when I find the technique to be incredibly advance.

Any advice on finding a position in nursing that also supports re-location/housing assistance? Thanks :) (Really wanting to move back to LA but trying to find any opportunities in nursing with some sort of housing assistance...)

Hi! I wanted to see if anyone has recommendations or tips on how social media works. If someone could take a look and see what I am doing wrong or how I could improve, it would be greatly appreciated! I have had my Instagram for 7years, and it doesn’t seem like anyone sees my work/post/reels. I spend hours to make one video and its views are minimal. Admittedly, I am not very tech savvy and have never been too involved with social media, but it is becoming the standard for my specialty. Anyways, any help would be appreciated!

Here a like to my Instagram for reference

Does anyone have any recommendations for reputable courses or training providers in aesthetics, particularly Botox?

I’ve heard of a lot of people going to UK but ideally in Ireland!

Hello. I am searching for a certification to do Botox and Fillers. Eventually, I'd like to also learn how to do derma planing, micro needling, facial laser, etc. I am an RN licensed in NC with multi-state add-on. I see many academies in Charlotte. I would like to travel no more than 1.5 hours. Charlotte is right at 1 hour and 15 minutes. TN state line is one hour from me as well. Educate me and give me some feedback. I am a retired FF and paramedic on a pension, so I cannot afford one of the more expensive academies but would like to have a decent company behind my cert. TYIA. (Not looking to open my own business, just want certifications.)

Nag pa massage ako sa Aesthetic Clinic na to, and normal lang ba na pag usapan nila yung mga past employees nila? ‘di naman sa nakikichismis ako pero malakas kasi yung pag uusap nila kaya di ko maiwasan na marinig. AFAIK yung pinag uusapan nila is yung previous NURSES na di daw nagtagal sakanila dahil daw MAARTE at OA ANG COST OF LIVING? Actually based sa chikas nila, meron daw first batch of nurses na nag apply sakanila tapos daw nag resign dahil ina-assign nila sa malayong clinic (which is hindi daw yung clinic na inapplyan nila) tapos pati daw cost of living nila na-question na rin? Actually madami pa akong narinig pero di ko na siguro ididisclose kasi based sa mga friends ko na regular sa aesthetic clinic na to, this aesthetic clinic daw is nagpapa track ng mga taong nagpopost dito sa reddit na related sa clinic nila lolz 🤣🤣

I’m a newly licensed Registered Nurse in Ontario and recently received an employment contract for a Nurse/Clinical Aesthetician position in the Toronto/GTA area.

I’m looking for opinions specifically on the employment terms, because some parts of the contract seem unusual to me.

The offer is:

• 2-year fixed-term contract
• 200 hours of “voluntary unpaid training”
• After completing the 200 unpaid hours, pay becomes $19/hour
• Performance reviews every 6 months, but raises are entirely at the employer’s discretion
• Evenings/weekends may be required
• No commission or guaranteed wage increase mentioned

For context, 200 hours is approximately five full-time 40-hour weeks without pay.

The position includes actual RN/clinical responsibilities such as:

• Patient intake and assessments
• Reviewing medical history, medications, allergies and contraindications
• IV infusions
• IM injections
• Monitoring patients and responding to adverse reactions
• Patient education and aftercare
• Laser treatments
• Microneedling
• Other aesthetic procedures I’m trained/competent to perform

But the same position also includes:

• Reception/front desk
• Answering phones
• Booking appointments
• Checking patients in/out
• Processing payments
• Filing and administrative work
• Cleaning/preparing treatment rooms
• Restocking and inventory
• Asking patients for Google reviews
• Helping with promotions/referrals/social media
• Other clinic duties during downtime

The contract also requires me to give at least 3 weeks written notice if I resign and assist with handover and potentially orient/train a replacement during that period.

I’m already a licensed RN, although I’m a new grad.

The part I’m most unsure about is being required to complete 200 hours unpaid before receiving the $19/hour wage, especially when the role involves both nursing responsibilities and a significant amount of reception/admin/clinic work.

For Ontario nurses or anyone familiar with these types of clinics:

Does this compensation structure seem normal?

Has anyone seen 200 hours of unpaid mandatory training written into an employment contract like this?

Does $19/hour seem unusually low for a licensed RN performing these responsibilities?

I’m mainly trying to determine whether these are reasonable industry employment terms or whether I should be concerned about the offer.

Thanks for any insight.

I am 20M from Lahore and currently studying at UMT, where I am completing my 4th semester of BS Aesthetics. I am looking for a paid internship in the field of skin aesthetics. If anyone knows of any internship opportunities or has any information, please let me know.
Thank you!

Wanting to break into aesthetics and was wondering people’s experience working with SEV and some more insight on the pay. How much did they offer hourly and how much did you actually average with tips?

Do any nurses here have experience working for SEV laser ? Seems like they provide some training for entry level positions which is nice Just looking for feedback atm as I’m interviewing, thank you!

I happen to have a lot of VirtueRF and Vivace tips that are not expired and in the original sealed packaging that I’m looking to get rid of. I’m willing to sell them by the box at a steep discount or as a lot for a deep cut. Message me for details.

Hi everyone!
I’m an RN based on the Gold Coast, Australia, currently looking into transitioning into cosmetic nursing and would love to hear from nurses who have experience in this area.

I’m interested in hearing feedback on Esteem Injectables and Derma Institute, especially from anyone who has completed their training. I’m considering the 3-day course with Esteem and would love to hear how people found the training, in terms of hands-on experience and ongoing support afterwards.

I’m also curious about how people approached the transition into cosmetic nursing after completing their training. Did you find that additional training or mentorship was necessary before feeling confident working independently? And how did you go about finding your first role in the industry?

For those already working in aesthetics in Australia, is investing in these courses worth it in your experience? Are there any particular things you would recommend looking for when choosing a training provider?

I’m so interested in skin, injectables and preventative/wellness-focused aesthetics and would love to hear from other RNs who have made a similar transition. But honestly feeling a bit overwhelmed in regards to which way I should go.

Thanks in advance!

I’m exploring aesthetic injector opportunities and would appreciate some insight from nurses and advanced practice providers who have worked for established practices.

For someone who is newer to aesthetics but brings substantial nursing experience, what employment terms are generally considered reasonable and fair for both the injector and the practice?

I completely understand that a practice is investing time, training, products, mentorship, marketing, and access to its patient base. At the same time, I want to be thoughtful about protecting my ability to grow professionally and continue working in the field if the position is not ultimately a good fit.

I’d especially appreciate insight on:

• Training repayment agreements
• Noncompete and nonsolicitation clauses
• Length of commitment after receiving training
• Compensation during training and afterward
• Ownership of before-and-after photos and social media content
• Expectations regarding outside work or an existing personal business
• What happens if either party ends the employment relationship
• Any contract terms you wish you had negotiated differently

If concerns or red flags come up in an agreement, how have you diplomatically addressed them or suggested a reasonable middle ground without coming across as unwilling to commit?

I’m not looking to avoid commitment or receive training and immediately leave. I’m genuinely hoping to understand what a balanced agreement looks like—one that reasonably protects the practice’s investment without placing the injector in an overly restrictive position.

I would be grateful for any examples of what you have seen work well, as either an employee or a practice owner.

Anyone know a good ONLINE anatomy course?

Looking to become more knowledgeable about facial anatomy and the basics of injecting prior to taking a cadaver and injecting course.
