Check your nurse's credentials, licensure, and physician supervision

Can a nurse do my Botox Cosmetic injection?

How do you know if a nurse is a safe Botox injector, or legal in your state?

  • Since there are different levels of nursing degrees, you may ask your physician or nurse if they are a registered nurse, certified nurse, or licensed nurse practitioner.
  • You can also check their license through the state board, as well as any complaints.
  • Even if nurse injectors are legal in your state, your physician is legally responsible for supervision and that appropriate safety measures exist for the injection performed by a nurse.
