The Aesthetic Doctor provides expert consultation and executes advanced non-surgical cosmetic procedures. This role balances absolute medical clinical safety with an artistic eye for facial harmonyperforming neurotoxin injections, dermal filler augmentations, chemical peels, and advanced energy-based device therapies. The ideal candidate is responsible for delivering top-tier clinical outcomes, preventing complications, managing patient transformations transparently, and driving the commercial growth and reputation of the aesthetic clinic.
Comprehensive Assessments
- Evaluate patients\' facial anatomy, skin types (heavily focusing on hyperpigmentation risks on darker skin phenotypes/Fitzpatrick scales V-VI), and medical histories to identify aesthetic deficiencies or contraindications.
- Screen clients subtly for signs of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), managing treatment choices ethically rather than over-treating vulnerable clients.
- Formulate comprehensive, multi-session aesthetic treatment plans, detailing expected downtime, maintenance intervals, and financial estimates
- Safely administer advanced neuromodulators (e.g., Botox, Dysport) and dermal fillers (hyaluronic acid and biostimulators) for wrinkle reduction, lip plumping, jawline contouring, and facial volume restoration.
- Operate advanced medical laser systems (e.g., Nd: YAG, Pico lasers), Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), and radiofrequency platforms for skin resurfacing, tightening, and tattoo removal.
- Execute medical-grade chemical peels, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) microneedling therapies, and target-driven mesotherapy injections for skin glow, acne scar revision, and hair restoration.
Skin Rejuvenation & Mesotherapy
- Act as the ultimate clinical authority on-site, immediately identifying and treating adverse reactions such as vascular occlusions, severe allergic responses, or laser burns.
- Ensure standardized, high-resolution, and legally compliant \"before and after\" photo documentation is captured for every patient case.
- Maintain accurate, encrypted electronic health records tracking batch numbers, injection sites, unit counts, and post-op protocols.
- Patient Retention & Rebooking Rate: The percentage of clients who routinely return to the clinic for maintenance treatments or sequential package layers.
- Clinical Safety & Zero Complication Index: Maintaining a near-zero rate of severe adverse events (e.g., untreated vascular occlusions, skin necrosis, or secondary infections).
- Consultation-to-Treatment Conversion Rate: Successfully communicating aesthetic opportunities so that initial evaluations advance into paid procedures.
Patient Satisfaction Score (NPS): Achieving stellar reviews regarding clinical empathy, pain minimization techniques, and balanced visual transformations.
Qualification Requirements
- Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) or equivalent degree from a university accredited by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) medical practitioner qualification
- Mandatory full registration and a current, valid annual practicing license issued by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN)
- A Master\'s degree (MSc), Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip), or formal Fellowship in Aesthetic Medicine, Dermatology, or Cosmetic Medicine from an accredited international or domestic institution is an added advantage
- 2 to 5+ years of progressive hands-on experience working exclusively as an aesthetic doctor within a reputable medical spa, dermatology center, or cosmetic clinic.
- Proven track record handling advanced dermal filler layering, advanced laser wavelengths, and managing clinical complications independently.
- Aesthetic Sensibility & Golden Ratio Vision: An advanced artistic eye for symmetry, facial angles and proportions to create natural enhancements, avoiding the \"over-filled\" look.
- High Emotional Intelligence & Discretion: Exceptional empathy when discussing patients\' deep physical insecurities, while maintaining strict social and professional confidentiality.
- Polished, Upscale Communication: Translating complex dermatological or cellular biomechanics into simple, elegant explanations that mirror five-star hospitality.
- Injectable Technique Mastery: Flawless execution of linear threading, fanning, bolus, and micro-droplet injection techniques using needles and microcannulas.
- Fitzpatrick Scale Expertise (V-VI Focus): Advanced knowledge of laser physics, parameters, and chemical strengths required to treat darker skin tones safely without inducing post-inflammatoryhyperpigmentation (PIH).
- Emergency Medical Reversal Protocols: Expert skill in deploying emergency reversal agents, specifically the precise dilution and injection of hyaluronidase for vascular occlusion rescue.
- Vascular Occlusion Emergency Masterclass: Simulation-driven workshops covering early detection, high-dose pulsed hyaluronidase reversal protocols, and emergency tissue management.
- Advanced Cannula Injectable Architecture: Specialized hands-on training focusing on facial contouring, mid-face volume restoration, and tear-trough correction using blunt-tip cannulas to minimize bruising and trauma.
- Lasers & Energy-Based Devices in Skin of Color: Advanced laser physics coursework focusing on pulse duration, spot size, and wavelength management (e.g., long-pulsed Nd: YAG) to safely treat hyperpigmentation, keloids, and acne scars in dark skin.
- MDCN Medical Practitioner License: Active register standing with the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria
