Cosmetic Injectables Training for Dental Therapists

The allure for cosmetic procedures in New Zealand is burgeoning, drawing in a wide swath of the population. Although venturing into medical aesthetics might not be an instinctive progression for dental therapists, incorporating offerings such as Anti-Wrinkle Injections and dermal fillers can serve as a gateway to the flourishing aesthetics market. This sector alone garners an annual spending of over $350 million just for anti-wrinkle treatments, presenting a lucrative opportunity for diversification.

Why Dental Therapists should train in aesthetic injectables

We firmly believe that dental therapists are particularly well-positioned to excel in both aesthetic injectables training and within the broader medical aesthetics industry. Here's why:

Dental therapists have an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy, providing them with a unique advantage when administering aesthetic treatments.

Dental therapists often have existing relationships with patients, which can facilitate an easier transition into offering new aesthetic services.

Being already accustomed to a clinical setting equips dental therapists with the operational skills necessary for aesthetic treatments, from sterility to patient consultations.

Dental therapists are well-versed in medical protocols and regulations, offering a smooth transition into the highly regulated field of medical aesthetics.

Diversifying into aesthetics allows for a broader skill set, making dental therapists more versatile healthcare providers.

Benefits

Training in medical aesthetics and adding injectable therapies such as Botox® and dermal fillers to your clinics’ range of treatments can come with a variety of benefits.

The high demand for aesthetic treatments translates into an additional income stream, enhancing the financial health of your practice

Offering a wider range of services under one roof can improve patient satisfaction and loyalty, reducing the likelihood of them seeking services elsewhere.

Adding aesthetic services can elevate the brand image of your practice, positioning you as a comprehensive healthcare provider rather than just a dental care specialist.

Learning and applying new skills in the aesthetics field can provide a refreshing change and a sense of professional enrichment.

With aesthetic services in your repertoire, your practice gains a unique selling proposition, setting it apart from competitors who offer only traditional dental therapies.
