Stick to the MDs for Botox

Hassan Galadari, MD answers: Who is qualified to inject Botox?

I'm thinking about getting Botox injections in my forehead but I don't know what qualifications/education pratitioners need to do Botox injections.

Best people who are qualified are those who know what they're injecting. Dermatologists, ophthalmologists and plastic surgeons are the ones who use it the most and know the underlying anatomy. It is always a safe bet to have them perform the injections for you. I would steer away from non-MD injectors. It is always better to pay that extra price and have it done right rather than live the effects of the material for 3-4 months till its gone.
