Who can give Juvederm injections? What licensure is needed?

The answer to the question depends on what state you are in. Some states consider Juvederm administration to be a procedure and limit it to physicians while others are more liberal and consider it similar to any other medicine injection and allow nurses and physician assistants to perform the procedures.

In my opinion, a better question is 'Who do you want to perform your injections?' Juvederm injections are generally performed in the face. While results are generally temporary, long lasting side effects can occur in rare instances. Performing the injections is not a complicated procedure; dealing with the possible complications can be. Physicians who are trained in facial anatomy, such as plastic surgeons and facial plastic surgeons, will be keenly aware of what it takes to get the results that you wish for and can deal with possible complications should they arise.
