Various pratitioners administer injectables in Texas

John LoMonaco, MD answers: Botox, filler and chemical peel regulations in Texas?

Who is allowed to do Botox injections, injectable fillers and chemical peels in Texas? Is it legal for a nurse to do Botox in Texas?

Some doctors offering Botox and other injectables have a non-physician, and in some cases a non-nurse do the actual injections. 

The law in Texas does allow non-physician designees to perform supervised treatments.  The key is what is meant by supervision, and you will see some clinics with no doctor in the building offering injectables.  I am not sure, but I believe that advanced nurse practitioners can perform unsupervised treatments.

My personal preference is to perform all the injections myself.  It is facial sculpting and artistry in my opinion, and I personally enjoy seeing the imemdiate results from the fillers and alos interacting with patients.
