If you wouldn't mind giving me the info you get from this, I am interested in medical esthetics as well. I am in Southeast MI but would travel for the education.

No problem. Don't know if there is anything but I thought I'd see if anyone knew of a place....

I too would love to learn more in the medical esthetics end of our profession. And I'm in the Canton Ohio area.

Oh funny Teresa, I am in North Canton. Where are you working at right now? I am not even doing esthetics as I am also an LMT so I got a job at a chiropractor's office--better hours and more steady pay. It's to saturated around here as far as I am concerned.

I agree! I am at Massage Envy. I must admit I do enjoy it there but since it is new (open 3month now) that the flow of facials isn't where I thought it would be. I still would like to do more with esthetics. I also thought of getting massage therapy but decided not too....really don't want to do any more A&P learning....isn't that sad on my part! I am taking classes at Stark State in Social Work for now. There is a 3 day workshop I'm thinking of taking..Bellanina Institute offering their massage face lift facial, but the closest workshop is in MI or IL.

I interviewed there but they never called. I am unsure about that place anyway. I know a lot of estheticians in this area have gone back to school b/c they make no money. I was an LMT 1st (1999) then got esth. They go well together but massage school is very hard......

How long ago did you interview at ME? There are pros and cons working there. But for me right now it is a good fit.

Oh It was about a month after they opened. I wasn't to upset. I like my Dr office job for now. There is no way I would work ME crappy hours--open till 10 at night? I don't think so!

I'm there 10 to 6 on fri and 11 to 7p on Sat/Mon, off rest the days. There are pros/cons to it, but right now it fits good for me being in school, so I don't complain. I just wish I was making more money!

Aesthetic Science Institute offers a program in medical aesthetics. Thy are located right outside of Albany NY. Its a couple days long and they also offer a week long program that combines Medical Aesthetics and Laser Certification. The education you get there is great and the teaching staff is wonderful. The website is www.aestheticscienceinstitute.com. Hope it helps.

Thanks so much Jessica! I'll look into it. Much closer than the other places I've seen.

Take care who you choose to give your money to.
There is an MD that markets ME courses in your area - I have no idea of the quality but they may be something to check out. You might even find it listed on the OH CEU list. The wife is the one who is marketing the classes, I believe. She and a "CME" give the course.
There are two in TX I know of, one is an MD who does a good job of training but it is actually marketing for his product line. And the course is expensive - that is a matter of opinion, I know. If you can get past his product talk, he is a good trainer. Ather course I know of in TX is taught by an esthetician-with-an-attitude so take care there, also. She has a volitility that came out big time when I was interviewing her. (What I said, I will never know! I was doing a positive interview, so she had no reason to do so - not that there ever is a reason that is justifiable.) She mostly markets to MDs and nurses. I do not know about the VA courses but do know their pre-graduate courses have improved a great deal there - it is now a two tier course with the ME skills estheticians can do in the second level (600 hours).
There is one in Atlanta, GA also. It is taught by a product line but the classes are good, I hear. Derma...something? you might put esthetic classes Atlanta in Google and see if she comes up.
An board-certified Aesthetic Medicine physician in FL contacted me about starting a 1 weeME course for estheticians (would be recognized by the certifcation board for Medical Aesthetics physicians), but nothing has been done thus far. Maybe someday....
There is also one in Colorado, but they mostly train on the machines they sell, I understand.
You might also check out the program sponsored by Susanne Warfield - it is a certification with an exam. I hear it is also good. Put her name in the Internet and you will probably come up with the information. She is also publisher of PCI Journal. The course book is good as I reviewed it, and they continue to offer education after you are certified.
Reality is there are many ME courses, but many of them are either product driven or not high quality because there is absolutely no standards set for medical estheticians. It is also true the the words "medical esthetician" do not fit together because by definition, estheticians can only do cosmetic services. And should not be doing services outside their license regulations in the state where they are licensed and work.... no matter what the doc says.
