1-Increase in Income
It isn’t a secret that cosmetic injections and medical aesthetic procedures come at a
higher price tag. They often attract wealthier clientele and because these procedures
aren’t typically covered through insurance, they are paid for, on-scene by clients. CBC
News reported in a 2015 article that “doctors who work for themselves tend to make more money” . Medscape reported in an interview with a Nebraskan doctor that medical aesthetic services are a,
“powerful source of income. Gross revenues doubled in the second year and doubled
again in the beginning of the third year.” This doctor stated his, “income from 1.5 days of
his medical spa equals income from 3.5 days for his rheumatology clinic”
(https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/828246_6). Whether you’re looking to simply add these
procedures to your practice or move over to a solely medical aesthetic practice, offering
these services will undoubtedly increase your income.
2- Control Over Your Schedule
It is no shock that one common complaint nurses and doctors have about their role is
based around their schedules. The hours are gruelling, exhausting, and often the cause
of burnout. Adding medical aesthetics and cosmetic injections either into your practice
or making the switch to a practice solely based around these procedures allows for
freedom from the hospital schedules. You’re no longer on call and you aren’t working
long shifts unless you choose to do so. You have the convenience of creating hours based
around your own schedule and preferences, resulting in a much happier and healthier
career.
3- Pleasant Work Environment
One of the benefits of running your own practice is having the ability to create a work
environment that’s both aesthetically pleasing and relaxed for your clients but also for
you and your staff to work in. Medscape’s 2017 Lifestyle Report polled over 14,000
medical professionals and found the leading causes of burnout were from dealing with
too many bureaucratic tasks, followed closely by spending too many hours at work. Just
behind those, the third highest reason for burnout was feeling like ‘just a cog in a wheel’’.
In creating your own work space you are able to to create a space free from the politics many medical professionals
are forced to deal with in a hospital setting. You’ll be working in a laid-back,
aesthetically pleasing space where it’s just you and your clients.
4- Rewarding
The situations you will deal with while providing medical aesthetics and cosmetic
injection services will never be life and death. One would assume that because these
clients are all purchasing elective procedures they would not be as grateful as patients
whose life you’ve saved. This is an incorrect assumption though. These clients are
beyond grateful for these services and to you as a medical professional for what you’ve
been able to provide them. This ultimately leads to a better quality of life for you as a
professional. A Texan doctor told ACP Internist he received “more thank-yous and more
positive patient feedback than (he) does from (his) internal medical practice. No one
ever thanks you for controlling their blood sugar or prescribing a cholesterol drug”
. Your job is rewarding, your clients are extremely thankful, and often your biggest stress is trying to stop clients from leaving
too large of a tip for the services they received.
5- Access to Top of the Line Aesthetics
It seems to be a little known fact or merely an overlooked advantage that while working
within the field of cosmetic injections and medical aesthetics, medical professionals will
have personal access to aesthetic procedures and top-of-the-line skin care products.
These products are often available for free or at a heavily discounted price. This is just
another added benefit to offering these services within your practice. The beauty that brings that kind of training in the aesthetics field is endless. For an example, cosmetics injections have several different uses, Tatoo removal is used for many reasons and so-and-so. A nurse or a health professional that has aesthetician training can better decide on his life quality.
