Medical Esthetics Nursing

About this programme

As esthetic procedures rise in popularity, there is a growing need for licensed professionals with the skills and expertise to perform cosmetic treatments. Cosmetic environments provide an opportunity for licensed nurses to expand their career opportunities beyond the traditional healthcare setting. This graduate certificate prepares Canadian registered nurses or registered practical nurses with the knowledge and hands-on experience to perform medical esthetics treatments. This includes procedures such as laser hair removal, microneedling, anti-aging treatments, chemical peels and cosmetic injections. Please note: This program requires proof of registration as a licensed nurse (RN, RPN or NP). Refer to the admission requirements for details. Learn more about the MDN program.

The field placement can be completed in person, online or in a hybrid format, depending on the placement organization. Please note that availability is subject to change and a seat is not guaranteed.
