The Difference Between Nurses and Salespeople in Aesthetics

Apr 15

When thinking about nursing and healthcare, the idea of a salesperson rarely comes to mind. Your health team and members of the medical community all have one goal in mind, the health and safety of their patients and community.

So, naturally speaking, the sales industry wouldn’t often come to mind.

Medical aesthetics sits somewhere in the middle between the healthcare industry and beauty industry. And there’s no denying that the beauty industry is built on sales and strategic marketing. With this being said, it would be understandable for a person who is new to the world of medical cosmetics to carry some hesitation with the fear of being “sold” on a treatment or procedure that they do not want or need.

At Omorphi Aesthetics, we have built a strong reputation for exceptional customer service and top-quality results. We have achieved this through consistency with our clientele, providing each person with genuine advice, support and guidance throughout their beauty and skincare journey.

In this article, we would like to shed some light on the differences between salespeople and aesthetic nurses, clearing the air regarding the intention behind the medical cosmetic industry once and for all.

What is an Aesthetic Nurse?

Before we explore the differences between aesthetic nurses and salespeople, let’s first take a closer look at what an aesthetic nurse is and what they do.

The Role of an Aesthetic Nurse

Also known as “cosmetic nurses”, aesthetic nurses can aid a physician with cosmetic procedures or treatments that affect the physical appearance of a patient. Many aesthetic nurses can perform certain procedures without the presence of a physician, such as providing injections like Botox.

If you wish to pursue a career in medical cosmetics or aesthetic nursing, the following skills are absolutely essential:

Knowledge of Anatomy
Knowledge of Physiology
Communication and Teamwork
Attention to detail
Critical thinking
Organization
Time Management
Ethics and Confidentiality

In summary, the main focus of an aesthetic nurse is to provide the best medical care for each and every patient. To learn more about aesthetic nurses and medical cosmetics, read our blog post about The Importance of Having a Background in Clinical Nursing for Aesthetics!

The Difference Between Aesthetic Nurses and Salespeople

Now that we have a better understanding of the role of an aesthetic nurse, let’s take a closer look at what sets them apart from a salesperson - especially when considering the atmosphere of the beauty industry.

Providing Guidance & Support

If there is one thing that a salesperson does, is sell. Most who are in sales have certain targets or quotas to meet, with the end goal being to sell their products or services.

In the medical cosmetics industry, there are no goals, initiatives or quotas to meet. It is simply about helping a person find the right product or service to meet their unique needs.

Rather than selling our patients on certain treatments or cosmetic procedures, we instead choose to guide and support. This process begins with a conversation and consultation where we determine exactly what the patient is looking for, their budget and lifestyle. Keeping this information in mind, an aesthetic nurse will walk them through the available options and help them make the right choice.

Considering Your Unique Journey

Our medical cosmetic spa and team of aesthetic nurses caring for you are in it for the long haul. Our goal is to work closely with you to help you find the best fit. We consider factors such as desired short and long-term goals, personal preferences, overall lifestyle, and budget.

Your aesthetic nurse isn’t looking to make a quick sale. They are here to guide and support you through your health, beauty and skincare journey.

Education is Key

The traditional sales funnel is designed to provide readers with the information that they want to hear. They want to hear about the features, benefits and all positive aspects. But the truth is, every product and service has both pros and cons. As a consumer, you deserve to hear the whole truth.

Your aesthetic nurse will provide you with a range of knowledge and resources as they walk you through the options available to you. While this will include the benefits and how certain cosmetic treatments work, this will also include information regarding side effects and possible complications.

While the risks of most cosmetic procedures and treatments are few and far between, you deserve to have all of the facts in front of you as you make a decision. Even if it’s a 0.001% chance.

Your Health Comes First

Your physical, mental and emotional health always comes first.

Will never try to coerce you into spending money or making a decision that doesn’t benefit you or meet your needs. We will work closely with you to determine your goals and preferences, then provide you with the available options that meet those needs.

Once we have narrowed down the options that are available, our team will be completely transparent as they discuss details such as process, timelines, cost, and long-term outcomes.
