Is it legal for Botox administration at hair salons by a nurse practitioner with two years of experience?

Thank you for asking this question.As you know many injectors are doing botox in hair salons, at home, hotel lobby, and some even come to your house! The rules and regulations are very strict when it comes to injection of these controlled medications. Board of Registration of Cosmetology wish to warn consumers not to undergo Botox® or any other medical procedure in a Cosmetology Salon.  I believe the injection of Botox in a hair salon has the following risks.1. Hair salons(Cosmetology License) do not have the license to perform any injectables. 2. The sterility of the place is not optimal for any injectables such as Botox procedure.3. The hair salon is not prepared for any unexpected complications from Botox injection.4. The Physician/Nurse may not be equipped to handle any emergencies that may arise during the delivery of the botox in a hair salon.5. The Botox injector and the salon can face legal charges, the practice is clearly not safe for consumers.I am aware of MA regulations for Botox injections in a hair salon not in New Hampshire. In summary
The Board of Registration in Medicine would not tolerate unsafe medical care from physicians or unlicensed medical practice from non-physicians who are often involved in these actions. As with any medical procedure, the possibility of adverse effects occurring from a botulinum toxin injection is always a possibility. Therefore, the American Academy of Dermatology strongly believes that patient safety comes first and should not be taken lightly under any circumstance. A casual social activity for the purpose of administering botulinum toxin, such as a Botox® Party, is an inappropriate and a potentially dangerous setting for performing medical procedures of any kind, that consumers should consult a licensed physician when considering medical treatments such as Botox® injections and should insist that all treatment be provided in a sterile environment equipped to provide these services safely. Finally, consumers are advised to exercise good judgment and to always verify that a professional is licensed and in good standing before engaging their services. The safety of Botox injection is more important than the cost of Botox.Best WishesDr. Shanthala

The price of Botox operation depends on several factors such as the difficulty of your case and your request for your operation area.
In my practice, prices for Botox operation reaches from 325 Euro up to 350 Euro range. If you want to learn more you can visit my profile.

Each state has its own regulations, but most allow Nurse Practioners to inject Botox and many do a wonderful job.  Be sure that the injector is trained and that the Botox used is not from another country.  If you are uncomfortable with an injector then I recommend you have treatment with someone else.
