Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner vs. Other Related NP Jobs: Who Earns More?


At $129,250 a year, the average aesthetic nurse practitioner salary is on the low end of the scale so far as nurse practitioner earnings go.

Aesthetic NPs make 14 percent less per year than travel NPs ($149,610), 13 percent less than orthopedic NPs ($148,560), and 8 percent less than neonatal NPs ($140,240.) On the other hand, aesthetic NPs make 2 percent more than family nurse practitioners ($126,990) and 4 percent more than pediatric primary care nurse practitioners ($124,630.)

Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner vs. Other Related Healthcare Jobs: Who Earns More?


On average, aesthetic nurse practitioner salaries are less than those of healthcare professionals like dentists ($172,290), podiatrists ($157,970), and optometrists ($133,100) who are graduates of four-year doctoral programs. However, aesthetic NP salaries are higher than those of many healthcare professionals like physical therapists ($97,960), occupational therapists ($92,800), and speech-language pathologists ($89,460) who specialize in rehabilitation rather than treatment.

What is the Average Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner Salary by State? – (Ranked Highest-Lowest)


Overall, aesthetic nurse practitioners in Northeastern states like New Jersey, New York, and Massachusetts, and Pacific Coast states like California, Oregon, and Washington make the most money. These are all states with major metropolitan areas where large proportions of the population have comparatively high disposable incomes. Disposable income is a factor that correlates with a higher demand for cosmetic services.

Aesthetic nurse practitioners in Southern states like Arkansas, Alabama, and Tennessee make the lowest salaries. The cost of living in these states, though, is significantly less than in other parts of the country, so even though aesthetic NPs working in these states may make less money, they may have purchasing power that’s comparable to that of their professional colleagues working in higher-paying states.

What is the Average Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner Salary by City? – (Ranked Highest-Lowest)


Salaries for aesthetic nurse practitioners in San Jose, California, are nearly two times as high as salaries for aesthetic nurse practitioners in Miami, Florida. Both cities have high numbers of medical and wellness spas, so the salary differential may reflect the fact that Florida nurse NPs can only practice under the oversight of a supervising physician.

Thirteen of the fifteen cities where aesthetic nurse practitioners make the highest salaries are in California. Demand is high in these cities because many business people living in the Golden State see the types of cosmetic procedures done at medical spas as a necessary part of staying competitive in a tight labor market.

What are the 10 Highest-Paying States for Aesthetic Nurse Practitioners?


Nine of the ten top-paying states for aesthetic nurse practitioners are full-practice states where NPs can practice to the full extent of their training and education without physician supervision. (New Jersey is the standout.) This makes sense since, on the whole, nurse practitioners earn more in states that allow for full scope of practice.

Can You Comfortably Live Off an Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner Salary in the United States?


Yes, you can live comfortably on an aesthetic nurse practitioner’s salary in most parts of the U.S! As you have seen, geography is one of the most significant factors influencing aesthetic nurse salary, and aesthetic NP salaries tend to be highest in locations with high demand for cosmetic procedures. These locations tend to be areas where the cost of living is high, so salaries must be correspondingly high. Other factors that play a crucial role in determining an aesthetic NP’s pay are education, years of practice, and additional certifications in areas like injectables, laser treatments, and skincare.



What is the Future Outlook for Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner Salaries?


In all likelihood, the average aesthetic nurse practitioner salary will rise in the next few years. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that employment opportunities for all nurse practitioners will increase by 38 percent between 2022 and 2032, while employment opportunities for skincare specialists are projected to increase by 8 percent.



Bonus! 4 Ways Aesthetic Nurse Practitioners Can Maximize Their Salary


Are you an aesthetic nurse practitioner who’s looking for ways to maximize your earning potential? Here are four game-changing tips that really work.

Way #1: Pursue certifications

Employers prioritize the services of aesthetic nurse practitioners with specialized training in fillers, laser skin treatments, liposuction, and tattoo removal. The certification process validates that specialized training. Certifications that may prove valuable to an aesthetic nurse practitioner include:

• CANS: The Plastic Surgical Nursing Certification Board (PSNCB) offers a credential called Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist (CANS.) CANS covers four cosmetic specialties: plastic surgery, facial plastic surgery (ENT), dermatology, and ophthalmology. The qualifying exam is only open to applicants with a current, unrestricted RN license in the state where they’ll be working and at least two years of professional experience within one of the four core specialties under the supervision of a physician or a CANS-certified nurse practitioner.

• CPSN: PSNCB also offers a Certified Plastic Surgery Nurse (CPSN) credential. The qualifying exam is available to applicants who hold a current, unencumbered RN license in the state where they’ll be working, have 1,000 or more clinical hours working in cosmetic surgical nursing, and are currently working in collaboration with a plastic surgeon, an ophthalmologist, or a board-certified ENT in ophthalmology, burn care, plastic, or facial plastic surgery.

• DNC: The Dermatology Nurses’ Association offers the Dermatology Nurse Certified (DNC) credential. The DNC exam tests the applicant’s knowledge of laser treatments, tattoo removal, the application of chemical peels, wound dressings, and acne treatment. To qualify for the DNC certification, you must have completed 2,000 clinical hours working in dermatology nursing and hold a current, unrestricted RN license.

Way #2: Get experience

As you saw above, the more experience you can garner as an aesthetic NP, the more money you’re likely to earn. Even with only one to four years of experience in this field, your aesthetic nurse practitioner salary will be 18 percent higher than it was when you first started out.

Way #3: Find the right employer

Generally speaking, the best-known clinics, dermatology practices, and medical spas offer the most competitive compensation packages because they see a higher client volume and because the clients they attract are higher-end individuals who are willing to splurge on expensive treatments.

Way #4: Relocate

As we have learned, demand for cosmetic procedures varies widely depending on location. The highest-paid aesthetic nurse practitioners tend to be employed in major metropolitan areas where residents have a great deal of disposable income. In areas with lower demand, salaries are likely to be significantly lower. Keep in mind, though, that major metropolitan areas are likely to be locations where the cost of living is high. While you may make more money in these urban areas, the actual purchasing power of the money you earn may be less.
