The talent shortage in medical aesthetics isn't a temporary disruption — it's the new operating environment. This panel gives aesthetic practice owners a role-specific, practical system for attracting, selecting, and retaining the people who make or break the patient experience.
Aesthetic practices that struggle to hire and keep great people face a direct revenue and growth ceiling. Open roles stay open longer, training cycles repeat, and the patient experience suffers.
This panel breaks down what's structurally changed in the aesthetic talent market, what top performers are actually looking for in 2026, and how to build a hiring and retention system that protects both your culture and your bottom line.
Each panelist brings hands-on experience across aesthetic practice operations, recruiting, and growth — from boutique medical recruiting to multi-location MedSpa exits, mentorship-driven training, and healthcare investment banking.
