This program is for any physician, nurse, aesthetician, or technician who is actively involved in treating spider veins.

For best results, patients should be treated by a practice with all modalities: medical/surgical ablations, sclerotherapy, and cosmetic lasers.  Most practitioners, however, only have one of these three tools in their toolbox. 

This course is meant to teach you about all three: how they work together and when you should refer the patient out for the proper tool and skill set.

If you’re a medical professional, or you’re interested in entering the aesthetics field as a medical professional, this course could be ideal. For someone looking to start a cosmetic practice: comprehensive spider vein care is a rare entity. And unlike many of the other aesthetic procedures, you can become profitable in under ten patients. 

Many nonphysicians who are already working in medical offices take the course to gain all the academic training they need and then receive hands-on training from the medical staff in their offices.

This course was designed to benefit anyone who treats spider veins: Physicians, Nurses, Physician Assistants, Nurse Pracitioners, Aestheticians and Laser Technicians.  Even non-clinical business managers can glean important insights about supply chain, ROI and how to purchase lasers.

Sclerotherapy is generally performed by Physicians, Nurses and APPs.  It would not be appropriate for Aestheticians or Laser techs.  However, understanding how the tools work together is important information for anyone treating spider veins.

Laser therapy is often performed by both medical professionals and licensed allied health professionals. 

Individual state medical boards govern medical treatments, including laser and other light-based treatments, as they see fit. Some states have specific requirements, while others don’t. Check with your state medical board before taking the course to find out whether this program can benefit you in your current or planned role.
