Is It Okay For An Aesthetician To Inject Juvederm?

In plastic surgery, like most things in life, you typically get what you pay for.  Like some of the other surgeons have said, it varies from state to state as to who can do certain procedures.  Instead of going to a less expensive provider who is just qualified enough, or even not qualified at all, I would recommend having your injections done by a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist.  No need to take unnecessary chances with your health.

In the state of Florida, aestheticians are not licensed to perform juvederm treatments. Due to the multitude of issues that can arise from improper technique, I would recommend utilizing only an experienced and expert injector who is licensed to perform the treatment in your state.  The slight savings you may find with an unqualified injector is not worth the risk.

I do not know what state you are in however, here in California it is absolutely illegal for an aesthetician to inject anything!

I would highly recommend you go to a well qualified skilled provider (MD, PA, NP, RN)

Good luck.
