Restylane injections: physician or a nurse?

 There are nurses who are great at doing Restylane injections, however, you are probably more likely to get a better result with an experienced physician.  Remember there are four specialties that specialize in facial treatments: facial plastic surgery, plastic surgery, dermatology, and oculoplastic surgery. They can offer you options and alternatives which is just as important as having a good hand at injections. It is important that your injector is well well trained and experienced. Review their before and after photos if necessary. If the physician does not do is or her own injections, you probably don't want to be their first patient.

As you can see there is a range of opinions on the subject of whether a nurse or a physician should do Restylane injections, and no single correct answer. If you go to a clinic where the nurse injectors specialize in that, then they may very well be more experienced than the supervising physician, and other MD's for that matter. It should always be clear who the delegating physician  is, and what their qualifications are.
