Is Injection Training the Right Career Move for You? 5 Signs It Can Be A Perfect Fit

Demand for injectable treatments in the aesthetics field is on the rise, and it’s the perfect time to increase your skill set as a nurse. It will open more career opportunities for you, as well as increasing your client base. We’re here to help you decide if injection training aligns with your career goals and personal strengths.

UNDERSTANDING INJECTION TRAINING

Injection training covers a wide range of areas, such as Botox, dermal fillers, and collagen stimulators which can give your clients new confidence. This can also have therapeutic benefits, such as managing migraine symptoms.

When you take a course on injection training, we cover more than just how to inject the medication. We’ll discuss factors such as facial anatomy, injection techniques, client safety and education, and aftercare. 

With this training, you will bring more value to your office, as well as opening more doors for yourself. Aesthetic nurses are increasing in demand, and there are many openings available working with either plastic surgeons or dermatologists. It may also increase your salary. According to ZipRecruiter, cosmetic nurses make $80,321 a year. Some may even make $136,000 in some areas. Here are five signs that injection training is right for you.

SIGN #1: YOU’RE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE AESTHETIC INDUSTRY

Being passionate about beauty and aesthetics is essential for anyone who chooses this as their career. You have to have a desire to help your patients achieve greater confidence through non-surgical enhancements. If you find yourself eagerly telling your patients about the latest injection procedures that can help them look and feel their best, then this is a sign that you’re on the right path.

SIGN #2: YOU HAVE A KEEN EYE FOR DETAIL

Do you find yourself noticing tiny details that other people often overlook? If so, injection training may just be perfect for you. 

Anyone giving injections for cosmetic reasons must be able to know exactly where the medication needs to be injected. This is a vital skill that can’t be overlooked. If done correctly, your patients will be left with natural-looking results. 

Individuals with strong attention to detail will thrive in this environment since they can create balanced, tailored aesthetic outcomes for their patients who leave the office feeling great. 

SIGN #3: YOU ENJOY HELPING CLIENTS FEEL CONFIDENT

People skills are a must for any nurse who is interested in injection training. You need to have a passion for making your clients feel more self-assured and enjoy discussing with them the various options, as well as their vision for themselves. With injection training, you will be able to make a visible, positive change in your client’s life, and greatly improve their self-esteem and natural beauty. This can be incredibly rewarding professionally, as your clients will leave feeling better than they came, and you know you played a role in that.

On top of the cosmetic benefits for your clients, they may also reap medical benefits. For example, Botox does more than just treat wrinkles. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Botox injections are shots that use a toxin to prevent a muscle from moving for a limited time. These shots are often used to smooth wrinkles on the face. They’re also used to treat neck spasms, sweating, overactive bladder, lazy eye, and other conditions. Botox shots also may help prevent migraine.”

Many clients often return for more treatments, so you will be able to develop and grow a positive professional relationship with them. For patients who dread coming to the doctor, you can be the one person on the medical staff who they enjoy seeing. You’ll be able to listen to what they say, and then fix it in just one office visit. 

SIGN #4: YOU’RE INTERESTED IN A HIGH-GROWTH, HIGH-DEMAND CAREER

Anyone who is highly career-driven should consider injection training. It opens more doors for you to work in the medical field, and you can begin to specialize in one area instead of being a jack of all trades. 

Nurses who are skilled in cosmetic injections are also able to work in a wider range of areas. You’ll naturally have a choice of doctor’s offices or hospitals, but there are other options. Some places you’ll be able to work include dermatology and plastic surgery offices, and even med spas. You’ll also be free from working overnight, double shifts, or the dreaded weekend shifts. Even better is that you’ll rarely, if ever, have to work another major Holiday again.

The outlook for aesthetic nurses is also only going to grow. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for registered nurses is expected to grow by 6% by 2033, which is higher than average compared to other careers. Once you add in a specialty like injection training, you will have even greater demand. As the med spa industry continues to grow, so will the demand for nurses skilled in giving cosmetic injections.

SIGN #5: YOU’RE READY FOR CONTINUOUS LEARNING AND ADVANCEMENT

Both the medical and cosmetic industries are constantly changing, growing, and developing new techniques and technologies. Because of this, becoming an aesthetic nurse is not the type of career you can take one or two classes on, and be done. It will require continued education and advanced training in order to stay up to date on the latest trends, techniques, and safety protocols.

If you love learning new things and get bored easily, then this is definitely the career for you because it will constantly keep you on your toes. 

Ongoing education is the key to remaining competitive and developing your skills in the aesthetics industry, so you will find yourself becoming a lifelong learner.
