The Texas Academy of Medical Aesthetics' success stories we’re about to share showcase how diverse med spa career paths can be. No matter who you are or where you’re from, success in medical aesthetics is possible with the right training.
Take Sarah Garcia. She worked as a Fort Worth retail manager before she decided to enroll in TAMA’s aesthetician program. After graduating, she landed a premier med spa management position in Arlington and went on to earn $200,000 per year.
Your transformation from a TAMA student to a licensed aesthetician won’t be easy. But the journey pays off – over 90% of our students land medical aesthetics jobs 6 months after graduating.
When Maria Hernandez started her TAMA training, she didn’t quit her part-time work at a local med spa. But within 18 months after completing the program, she secured her aesthetics license and got hired by a high-end medical spa in River Oaks. With chemical peels and microneedling treatments as her specialty, she now earns more than $65,000 a year.
Registered nurses can transition into more successful and rewarding aesthetic medicine careers. At TAMA, we teach RNs how to blend their medical knowledge with cosmetic expertise.
Jenny Robertson was an ER nurse in San Antonio for six years. Not content with staying an RN forever, she decided to acquire a nurse injector certification at TAMA. She soon found that performing Botox and dermal filler procedures was way more fulfilling (and less stressful) than working in emergency medicine.
The med spa industry is not only for medical professionals and beauty enthusiasts. It has room for business-minded folks, too. We provide the technical and business training to prepare you for managing or owning med spas in the future.
Just two years after completing our advanced program, Mike Wang was able to launch his first med spa in Austin. In five years, his clinic would grow to serve more than 300 clients across the Greater Austin area.
Mandy Thomson, BSN, completed our nurse injector program after working for a decade as a pediatric nurse. In half a year’s time, she built a 120+ client base as a favorite injector at a top med spa in New Braunfels.
Christie Reyes started out with a part-time reception job while attending TAMA’s coordination program. She now manages three affiliated locations, handling scheduling, inventory, and training. She went from earning 12 bucks an hour to taking home $55,000 every year.
Medical aesthetics offers a wide range of pathways that fit different interests and backgrounds. You might lean toward patient care, business operations, or specialized treatments, and our training prepares you to navigate whatever road you choose with success.
Consider your strengths before you choose. Strong interpersonal skills are ideal for patient-facing roles, while detail-oriented people are perfect for management. If you’re the artistic type, you might do well in treatments. Business-minded? Train to be an owner.
Your success story begins with quality education. TAMA has been transforming careers throughout Texas by helping students achieve their professional goals in medical aesthetics.
There’s no shortage of career opportunities in this exciting field. Grab your opportunity now and let TAMA’s programs give you everything you need to launch your successful career. Call us today to learn more about our programs.
