Where a Medical Aesthetician Can Work After Graduation
Graduating with a medical‑aesthetic diploma opens up a variety of career paths. As a trained medical aesthetician, you’re equipped with advanced skin‑care knowledge, clinical skills and treatment protocols — and that opens doors in many types of clinics, spas, and healthcare settings.
🏥 Common Work Settings for Medical Aestheticians
Medical Spas & Laser Clinics
Medical spas and laser clinics are among the most popular workplaces. Here you can offer services such as chemical peels, advanced facials, microneedling, laser skin treatments, and other skin rejuvenation procedures. These clinics value certified professionals who combine skin science with aesthetic treatments.
Dermatology and Cosmetic Clinics
Working alongside dermatologists or cosmetic physicians, medical aestheticians play a supporting role: assisting with pre‑ and post-treatment skincare, providing maintenance treatments, laser therapy, and helping clients with skin‑health regimens.
Plastic Surgery & Cosmetic‑Surgery Offices
Medical aestheticians often find roles in plastic‑surgery clinics, offering pre‑operative skin prep and post‑operative skincare, wound‑care support, and helping patients with scar management, skin healing, and recovery treatments.
Spa‑Style Salons with Medical / Advanced Services
Salons that offer more than standard beauty services — combining professional skincare, advanced treatments, and basic spa services — often hire medical aestheticians. This allows clients to enjoy a blend of clinical results and relaxing spa‑level comfort.
Own Practice / Self‑Employment / Mobile Services
With the right certifications and client base, many medical aestheticians choose to work independently — offering treatments through their own clinic or mobile services. This path offers autonomy, flexibility, and the chance to build a personal brand.
Skin Care Centers, Beauty Clinics & Wellness Clinics
Beyond purely aesthetic clinics — many wellness centres, skincare clinics, or holistic health practices hire medical aestheticians to provide advanced skin treatments, consult on skin health, advise clients on maintenance routines, and help with overall skin care planning.
