Botox injection therapy may not be appropriate for non-physicians

Botox injection therapy may not be appropriate for non-physicians. As with any medication botox should be administered by educated physicians although in some cases it may be injected by a technician under a physican's care. Nevertheless, a technician will not have the knowledge skills of a qualified physician.

Who can inject Botox

The legal level of training for Botox injections depends on individual state regulations and typically requires physician (MD or DO) supervision. Be careful, as getting involved with injections without proper training may lead to increased legal exposure for your skin therapy practice.

Training necessary to inject Botox

Thanks for the question. I train hundreds of clinicians annually throughout the United States. The requisite training necessary to legally administer injectables varies from state to state. At minimum, you must be a nurse as far as I am aware. Best, Glenn Vallecillos, M.D., F.A.C.S.

Training for Botox

In the US aestheticians are not allowed to inject Botox. This is something that is taught to plastic surgery residents in the program that I work with.
