Shino Bay Aguilera says some physicians have a problem with medical aesthetics providers because we “represent financial competition to their business.”
When a plastic surgeon in Ottawa was looking for skilled training on medical aesthetics and injections, he knew exactly where to turn first. To a nurse.
It was a gratifying success – our first Professional Development Symposium and the opportunity for networking and continuing education with colleagues.
A Health Canada consumer advisory about the safety of an unauthorized device should also serve as a warning to aesthetics practitioners. Be careful. Be safe.
Never purchase or use any medical device that hasn’t been approved by Health Canada.
Participants in our New Practitioners Program have given us great ideas on how we can expand their professional training. Coming soon – more advanced courses!
The question comes up from time to time: Are the people who come to us for cosmetic procedures referred to as patients or clients? As far as I’m concerned there is no debate.
We are positively thrilled that a second training course at THMA Consulting has received the highest level of approval via the American Nurses Association. It’s a win-win for nurses, too!
Never have I been prouder of my fellow nurses and our medical aesthetics profession. In the face of a serious threat to our livelihoods from Core Specialists in Ontario, we stood as one and roared back.
