What is the difference in an aesthetician and an aesthetic nurse?

•An aesthetician receives their license under the TN board of Cosmetology, while a nurse is governed by the TN board of Nursing. To become a nurse, one typically goes to college for a minimum of 2 years (associates degree); an aesthetic nurse indicates that the registered nurse has additional specialized training to perform aesthetic procedures after graduation. An aesthetician program typically takes 6-7 months. It is not uncommon for a nurse to become an aesthetician to expand her skill set or to “get her foot in the door” to work in cosmetics. And just the same, many aestheticians later choose to become a nurse to offer additional treatments such as injectables like toxins or filler.
