I was reading an article earlier about post-microneedling hydration protocols and it honestly made a really good point about how the recovery phase is treated almost like an afterthought in a lot of treatment rooms. Everyone talks about needle depth, stimulation, and collagen response, but not enough about the temporary TEWL increase and how vulnerable the skin barrier is immediately after treatment. It explained why hydration and occlusion are actually part of the treatment logic, not just a soothing add-on at the end. The section about jelly masks creating an occlusive recovery environment made a lot of sense too, especially for reducing that tight dehydrated feeling clients complain about post-procedure. A lot of providers would probably see better client comfort and overall treatment experience if recovery protocols were prioritized as much as the corrective step itself

I am a NP working in aesthetics east of Toronto and looking at purchasing a clarius ultrasound. I saw that there is an US training at Seamless Health in Toronto with Dr. Steven Harris, has anyone trained with him, or used an ultasound in their aesthetics practice? is it worth the purchase, do you use it? Id love to have it for possible complication managmenet and safe mapping. tell me your experiences please

Hi so i’m struggling rn . i’m a new grad nurse and Laser Away gave me an offer . I have 1 day to respond . Good pay good benefits but it’s working every single weekend so work life balance would be hard .
I also read that they don’t immediately train you in Botox or filler, that it takes about a year and this is because they know nurses will get in and get out once trained.

in the other hand i have a mobile nurse injector who’s been in the industry for 15 years . she believes in me and offered to train me and offered clients to practice on. I would be working under a medical director so i would be paying for insurance etc and everything and all costs.

but then also i have an interview for a hospital position next week and what if i never didn’t hospital job and did bad in aesthetics and now i have nothing to lean back on?

i’m truthfully struggling rn and don’t have a lot of time to make a decision…

Hi so i completed the phone interview today with Laser Away and I have the video interview on thursday. What kind of questions do they ask for the second one ? Im extremely nervous as I do not do well in interviews in general

I’m okay with a fast paced environment. I just want to know how the company is doing from an inside prospective. Do they meet their sales goals? Any mass lay offs?

For context, I’m a RN BSN with 8 years of experience in ER, ICU and currently vascular surgery but no injecting experience. Would it be a bad idea to do a mentorship of 4 or 6 months without a job as an injector or could I apply while in either program?

I have the options between two separate medspas. But the longer, more expensive mentorship is at the medspa where I get my tox, microneedling and laser. My injector told me to sign up for the next cohort (10 people) in November.

Nurse injector for 3 years in HCOL state. I currently only make 20% commission off all services. No hourly. No tips unless my clients insists and I provide them my Venmo handle. But I never ask. So getting tips is rare more like a treat and not a part of my income. I feel like I’m making nothing with this current structure. And if a client no shows or if we are out of product so I can’t treat the client that day I make nothing. I’m just in the studio on my time. I am working under a provider whom has been in the industry for a long time and has regulars but there is no investment on her end to market or promote the other injectors. And when I’ve asked to advance my training or learn certain things she keeps putting it off. I feel like she’s gate keeping and I feel stuck.
