I want to study cosmetology, but I'm more interested in skin care. I know cosmetologists get paid like 6 an hour, but how much does a skin care specialist get paid??
Answer
An hourly rate completely depends on who you are working for and what the terms of your employment are. For example, if you rent your own space and are doing simple european facials, you can generally charge between $65 and $150 per hour depending on where you are located (nowhere, Virginia or New York City). If you own the space, this is all yours - do 4 a day and you have yourself a nice $100,000 per year job. If you enter into a "split" agreement with a spa or clinic owner, you may get a 50% split of whatever you do, so the same facial, you will get $35 to $75 for each treatment. The difference here is that you have no expenses or overhead to deal with.
Lastly, if you have specialty equipment like a LipoMax, or DermaPod machine, for example, you can charge a LOT more for each treatment - well into the hundreds. Also- you can set up repeat treatments to get a much higher average customer value.

Dermatology Skin Care carear help!?
Katie T
I've always wanted a carear in skin care. My dream job would be working for companies such as Dermalogica or Neutrogena.
However, I'm not sure if that is a specific job or carear.
I've thought about becoming a dermatologist but I would just want to focus on acne instead of all skin problems.
Is there any profession that entails researching and coming up with new products?
Answer
Research and Development (R&D)
You'd probably need an advanced degree in either Chemical Engineering, Materials (Science) Engineering, Biological or Biomedical Engineering, Biology, Chemistry, or Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Heres a link to the Johnson and Johnson employment website (they own Neutrogena):

Try searching for a job with the description you would want and look at the requirements.
I don't think Dermatology is the best route to go through especially if you don't want to actually practice as a doctor. Dermatology is one of the most competitive residencies in medicine and you should be fine with doing another medical specialty as a back up if you pursue that route.
