Laws vary by state.
Some states may only allow physicians to inject medications such as Botox or Dysport, as it's a medical procedure and not the same as giving a medication (like a flu shot). Other states require the physicians to be present, while a nurse or physician-assistant perform the actual injection. Some states allow non-physicians to practice this form of cosmetic medicine without physician oversight.
Also, some of these cosmetic injections are performed by such physicians as obstetricians, anesthesiologists, and primary care physicians. Check with your state's medical board, and ask questions.
