I Need a Practitioner Who Will Allow Me to Purchase the Product on my Own and Just Charge Me an Injection Fee?

I'm an NP who is certified in Botox and fillers. I have a small client base and provide these services as a second income. I work in a medical practice as my primary job. I am looking for a practitioner who will allow me to purchase the product on my own ( since I have access to them) and only charge me an injection fee. My collabrative MD doesn't do aesthetics, and the nurse who did my Botox doesn't do fillers. Any suggestions?

Charging only an injection fee when you bring in your own product...won't happen!

Your question sounds innocent enough until you consider what could happen in the worst case scenario. Without being the one who purchases the product, the physician has no idea what you are asking to be injected in you. He is responsible for the results and complications. The product you bring to your visit could be imitation, stored improperly, contaminated, etc.. Why would any doc want to risk having unforeseen issues with material brought in by the client?

Thank you. I appreciate your answer and could understand the MD's concern. Although I know it is purchased directly from Allergan or Merz, it is true they would not. I also understand that a MD should be the first choice with some people regarding injectables but there are many well trained and skilled nurse injectors who have had proper training and ample experience who attain excellent results for their clients. It is imperative for the patient to do their research and to chose the injector whom they feel most comfortable with. I would like to add that only a MD should be consulted for extensive fillers, semi-permanent, or permanent products. In my practice I would always refer to a plastic surgeon if what a client is requesting is beyond my training or skill. Thank you for the advice.

Hi There,

I just wanted to let you know that we don't allow self-promotion on our site. Here's a link to the board certified doctors in your area who perform Belotero.

Hopefully this helps!

I'm not self promoting at all!! I'm just asking if there is a possibility to find a practitioner that is willing to charge an injector fee with product that I purchase. I was wondering if this is done.
