Medical professionals may not have considered it before, but those with injection training are continually recruited to provide services in medical spas, doctor's offices, and day spas. Many aesthetic procedures have increased in popularity and even become acceptable to the general public in recent years. Aesthetic procedures used to be too costly for all but a select few; however, things are changing rapidly and now almost everyone has access to these services. Proper certification and training provided by a beauty school or pharmaceutical company can greatly increase medical professionals' skills and potential for income.

You may have questions about injection training. Who can get training for injections? Are estheticians able to get this training or is it limited to medical professionals? Why? Why should I get training if I am already in the medical field? Does getting additional training in injections increase my scope of practice and my earning capabilities?

Currently, in all 50 states, the only people that can legally give injections are licensed medical professionals. In most states, licenses in any of the following are recognized for injection treatments for aesthetic reasons: MD, DO, APRN, PA, RN, DDS, DMD and DS. Estheticians are not authorized give injections, unless, of course, they are also a licensed medical professional. While this might seems unfair to some, most medical professionals would agree that this is sound practice for a host of reasons. The first of those reasons being that medical professionals have a greater understanding of the human body and how it works then estheticians. Secondly, medical professionals have greater knowledge about drug interactions and reactions. It is also safe to assume that medical professionals are more experienced in what to do if side effects were to occur and remedies for those side effects. And, finally, if an unfortunate emergency were to arise, medical professionals are better trained to provide life saving emergency measures.

Medically trained professionals may already give a host of injections every day. Why is injection training, performed at a beauty school, necessary if most medical professionals already know what they are doing? After all, most of these professionals obtained some sort of medical degree from an accredited source. Shouldn't that cover any type of injection? For a host of reasons, the answer is simply "no". Even medical professionals, with injection experience, should receive some basic training in cosmetic injections. While medical professionals might understand how to give injections in general, giving injections for cosmetic purposes is a whole new ball game and obtaining proper training and experience is a must.

The demand for medical professionals with injection training is already high and continues to grow. Even with a slower economy for several years now, cosmetic procedures are still in demand and so are professionals that offer them. Clients today know that they have options and they are choosing trained and licensed medical professions for cosmetic injections. If you want to have an edge in the medical aesthetic field, training and hands on experience will give you that edge and offer you earning potential in return.

A beauty school or pharmaceutically company can provide the injection training that can broaden not only a medical professionals' scope of practice, but also their earning potential as well.
