Do you want a nurse or board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to perform Botox injection?

William Ting, MD answers: 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?

Whether or not a registered nurse, nurse practitioner or a physician assistant can perform Botox or Dysport injection is dependent on your State medical regulatory bodies. A better question is would you want to make investment of your complexion in the hands of a mid-level provider or a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
