How Canadian nurses and physicians can get started in Medical Aesthetics?
Medical aesthetics is a fast-growing sector in healthcare that blends science and artistry. For Canadian nurses, nurse practitioners, and physicians, this field offers a rewarding way to help clients look and feel their best, without surgery.
What is Medical Aesthetics?
Also known as aesthetic medicine, medical aesthetics focuses on non-surgical procedures that enhance facial features, improve skin health, and promote overall confidence.
Unlike beauty spa services, these treatments must be performed by licensed medical professionals. Popular procedures include:
● Botox® and neuromodulators
● Dermal fillers
● PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
● Microneedling and mesotherapy
● Collagen stimulators (e.g., Sculptra®)
● Fat dissolving and body contouring
● Thread lifts

Medical aesthetics is booming in Canada due to:
● High demand for natural, non-invasive results
● Interest in preventative care, especially among younger generations
