Typically, beauty tends to focus on the face or the decollete & up. This industry is all about the neck down with our focal point being the physique of the torso (arms and legs and face are included too because I mean… they are a part of the body, but they just aren’t the main focus of this industry. You have cosmetology and esthetics for that). Body Altering Aesthetics (BAA) uses bioengineering to transform the shape, presentation, and sculpting curves of the body.

Regulated Educational Positions:

(Incisional Only) This provider is only trained to work on clients with active incisions. This is day 1-7. They specialize in moving fluid through the system, fundamental client education, early phases of compression, dressing maintenance, surgical drain care, lifestyle shifts, and supplemental directives.

(Incisional & PostOp-indur) This provider type is well versed and has studied long enough to specialize in all CSL iMedic modalities as well as to assist clients who are day 8- week 8 competently. They have a heightened level of expertise in body presentation translations, protocol building, compression precisions, and technique execution. However, they aren’t able to work on clients after week 8 OR to address noninvasive needs as they have not ascended to that level of professional acumen; surgical clients only.

(Body Contouring only) This provider type is familiar with noninvasive body altering treatments. They specialize in using tools, equipment, and machines to help nonsurgical clients achieve lasting body results. This bodyworker type has little to no knowledge or expertise in being able to help Vet Dolls maintain their results. At no time are they able to work on Advanced Trauma dolls until the client is at least 3 months removed from their medically necessary procedure.
