My inside clinic job experience.
(A point of view article.)
Health care is what we all need. People invest heavily on medication especially, when they want to be cured from current illness or disease. They even pour it on insurance just to avoid a substantial amount of pain. And this is my realization of not just getting inside the salon but, wondering on how things work. Yes, some people call it a clinic, but it's less from that.
"An aesthetician is not a doctor or a medical health professional, so they can't: Administer injectables such as botox or fillers."

I am not an aesthetician and will never ever be, only if I am a license medical practitioner. Why is that? My mum told and warned me about how I was so proud doing aculift. It's an acupuncture in the face with loads of needles like ancient therapy thing. She told me that if you made a mistake and people get paralyzed on how unprofessional I was doing, I could be in jail. No certificate on performing it, no further knowledge. Even the guide entrusted me on practicing it without him supervising so, I didn't mind that it was so serious. I've done it once because, we're currently on training. Just once. Of course, how would you be able to learn it if you're not gonna do it, right? But here's my shallow realization. I am writing this because, finally it made up my mind that this could end truly worst. I saw one of the students that she is so proud having multiple certificates just to say that she knows what she's doing. Probably yes, but her certificate only signifies that she completed the training. The certificate indicates "NON MEDICAL". Anybody can be trained. Anyone with no pre-med background can enroll. Anyone who finishes the course can do it straight to the patient, simply because, they are already certified. But I am not confident. My mother was right. Some of these clinics doesn't have doctors present during these services and some clinics doesn't even have one. What if you're hypersensitive to something you don't know? This is an honest opinion. What if there's a complication and a reaction happened? Would you think they can medically adviced you to buy something without prescription? What if another scenario that leads to the worst? Do you think they can be liable from their negligence and malpractices? Yes, but financially? Do they have insurances to cover you up? But some clinics are just plain salons or spas. Even a LEGIT LICENSED NURSES are prohibited to perform without training and further knowledge about intravenous injection. Educate yourself about the law.

When we're talking about Medicine, one of the renowned doctor in the Philippines, DR. VICKY BELO who is a dermatologist and came from prestigious university with continuous education to enhance her career. She has clinics and it is pricey. We know that she is better and higher than any aesthetician in the Philippines simply because, She. Is. A. Doctor. Obviously, she and even probably hiring pre-med graduates who can give professional advices about medication and health if something goes wrong. Far more plausible, that her corporation is professionally capable of handling irregularities such as; they have insurances and better knowledge. She and her company are well-known and branded that they will take care of you thoroughly for which they don't want to ruin their glamorous businesses. It's just because, reactions and complications can happen sometimes. Of course, expect for higher prices. Paying a probable high cost for high-standard medical procedures is better than facing higher costs to catch them. Your choice. Doubt intensely, if someone says they're higher than her. Check her history.

You see why I am writing this? Because Why effin not?! I am a writer, a blogger and a journalist. A journal of my life's journey. Realization, awakening, education, ideas and for public awareness. If you're an aesthetician, this is your chosen career and if you feel bad about my opinion, you have every right! It can truly hinder your career. If you're mad and you're against all of it, apologies but when we're talking about science and medicine, closed-minded people are not allowed here. It's purely logical and reasonable to doubt for. You're injecting and putting inside of their body. What if something happened to them? Like paralysis. Can you even explain without asking your doctors about it? Are you even licensed to prescribe medication even if it came from your doctors? Can you help yourself when it becomes worse? They should be the one doing that. Do note that not all doctors are the same. Another reason why we have the term "specialista". One licensed doctor sued and jailed from his malpractices due to reckless imprudence resulting to physical injury. See news below.

Well how about you? No diploma. No pre-med background. No other medical science knowledge. If you still want to continue this career without credibilities, you can still pursue it. (Except for anything needles....syempre mag-mamagaling ka pa sa batas!). I don't want to end up your trial and error method because, a master was once a beginner. We create mistakes and it's natural, but a mistake in cosmetic surgery, mild surgery or injectable procedure, ... any needle job? No effin way. Based on my opinion, it would be credible that there's a MEDICAL TERM in your licence or certificate. By having this, a LICENSED, MEDICAL PRACTITIONER is your mentor! Save yourself from millions of pesos in hospital bills and punitve damages. You're not as rich as Belo. Remember, there are tons of medical aesthetic schools out there and get the real one. Not just a legit term in their marketing strategy. An expert term has a long time career with heavy credibility and further intelligence plus "A LONG TIME CONNECTIONS" as for your character of reference. By the way, imagine this. You're a licensed medical practitioner and your trainer is not even one, Would you like to end up in jail with them? You spend money, time and effort to win that degree even prayed to pass in PRC BOARD EXAMS but, someone lower than you might revoke your credibility. Your formal education is even more credible, than enrolling in a sub-standard training with disreputable on their part. Before you throw your money, ask their licensed number and check in PRC Website.
My inside job not outside job, haha yes, because, people knew we're Field Marketers. I know some things and have never seen how their schools work. Except, seen student's training and practicing their learnings on a live person. Just to clarify, I was never a student of aesthetics, only from holistic therapy. I don't literally know all of it. I just don't like those students who are not qualified and credible to enroll for any advance cosmetic procedures such as, a million times, the injectables. Like I said, it's just an epiphany from my mother's precaution and I began to wonder about it. Well it's extremely rational! It's completely a skill based job that doesn't require a diploma, but then again, injection and chemicals for your body? Never. I'd rather find a Medical Aesthetician with license doctor present at all services. Apparently, there are clinics which still do this illegal practices even though it's safe. They are not just licensed to do it, but insisted on performing it. Think about being a student of a trainer who is not even authorized to perform under the law? Are you truly confident to inject something and you're not even pre-med licenced like medtech or a nurse? Yet, some of the clinics which do these are open doing illegal things during broad daylight. Far worst, using the term and called a Doctor without a license in their clinic, even acting in their paid presscons.
"administering injections is considered a medical act. And doing medical acts without a license? That's illegal."
So, if you're as sensitive as me? Allergic? Skin asthmatic? Sickly? Or you don't know your triggers. Better find a dermatologist. Not just a certificate will ever touch my skin. Even acupuncturist. I am sorry. I am just not that comfortable.
So, is an esthetician a bad thing? No, both have different specialization. Aesthetic is more on therapy and relaxation. Compared with it, one can actually do surgery and prescribe drugs while them cannot. If you like both for assurance because, a doctor will never do holistic therapy moments with you, find a Medical Aesthetic Clinic. At least a doctor you can talk and run to. So, before planning anything else without thinking, that doctor must know all the things that they don't know on what you're about to do. Then again, my story and my opinion, when it involves injectables, it must be a licensed medical practitioner.
Are you a student? Make a thorough research and make sure to check the qualifications and requirements. But if you're a patient? How would you know? 😉 ... My mom was right and she is a graduate of Caregiver in St. Augustine School of Nursing. Has a science and limited medicine knowledge who warns me against illegal practitioners. Don't ever waste your money from someone on the very first start of their career, are already a fraudster. Why not?! They didn't even gone through sleepless nights and severe anxiety in Anatomy Course. Ask the med students. They know.
And for the finality, I like to include my opinion on injections for tattooing. It has mini injections and putting liquids inside the body. So, sorry to all tattoo artists who have already been managing their studio, have done successful creations and have made a living out of it. It's still about needles.

{In Thailand, an unregulated cosmetic enhancement industry is thriving. Botched procedures undertaken by unlicensed practitioners are leaving patients disfigured and forced to spend thousands on reconstructive surgery. VICE World News finds out why there’s a demand for unlicensed treatments despite the risks.}

{While writing and editing this case, I found myself moved to tears, deeply empathizing with the pain of a mother who lost her son following plastic surgery. Her seven-year-long battle, still ongoing, to seek justice for victims of medical accidents is heart-wrenching. It's unimaginable what she has endured, to the extent that her dark hair has turned grey, weathered over the years by grief. My thoughts and prayers are with Daehee, his mother, and all those affected by medical accidents.}
A story of knowledgeable licensed doctors can still make mistake. How about you? Who is not licensed to perform? Still wanna enroll?

Click YouTube link. I am not against aesthetic beauty. If you want to bring out confidence in you, you can enhance your figure. All the way you want and take a risk.
"Beauty therapists and aestheticians are not licensed medical professionals. Therefore, they are not authorized to administer these cosmetic procedures by themselves."
