Aesthetic Nurse Jobs
State law decides who may inject and under whose license, so two med spas with the same treatment menu can be staffed differently on either side of a state line. Read the supervision requirement before the title.

Aesthetic nurse, cosmetic nurse, injector
Aesthetic nurse is the common title, and cosmetic nurse is the same job under a different house style. Nurse injector and injector name the procedure instead of the license, and med spa postings use them freely. All four reach this page. A posting headed RN or nurse practitioner with aesthetics in the description won't: those sit with the nursing listings, so search the nursing titles separately if you want the whole market.
Your questions about aesthetic nurse jobs, answered
- Who is legally allowed to inject?
A physician or an advanced practice provider, plus the nurses they delegate to. Injectables are prescription medical treatments, so what changes from state to state is the delegation itself: whether the prescriber has to examine the patient before the first treatment, how close they have to be while you inject, and whether a registered nurse may inject at all without them on site. Ask who the medical director is before accepting a role.
- What's a medical director in a med spa?
The licensed physician the practice operates under, responsible for delegation, protocols and standing orders, and in states with corporate practice of medicine rules the owner of the medical side of the business. Involvement ranges from daily presence to a signature on a contract, and which one it's decides how much of the clinical judgement lands on you.
- What training do aesthetic injector jobs ask for?
An aesthetic nurse injector needs nursing experience first, then injectables training that's vendor or academy based rather than academic. Employers weigh hands-on hours and a portfolio heavily, and some ask for the aesthetic nurse specialist certification, which takes documented experience in the specialty. There's no single required course, so course quality varies.
