How is it feasible for a nurse practitioner to charge $11 per injection of Botox? My highly respected physician/dermatologist in California with a large practice charges me between $300.-$500. Depending on how much he uses. I trust I ca dr explicitly his practice has a large client base who have been going there for years. Is $11 even feasible? Or even legal given that this is being done in a hair salon?

Answer: NP Botox? Hello and thanks for your questions. Every state has different rules with regard to who is permitted to perform injections, how much training they require, and where those injections can be done. It may be completely legal in NH for an NP with minimal experience to perform Botox treatments in a hair salon. The real questions is if you would actually be willing to have that person perform a treatment on you in that location. They may be a skilled injector, but in my experience, people get what they pay for so to speak. My best advice would be to ask for references from patients that have been treated there and to weigh your options carefully. I hope this helps.Best wishes!Daniel Brown, MD, FACSBoard Certified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic SurgeonsMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeonsCastle Connolly Top DocReal Self Top 500

Answer: Is it legal for Botox administration at hair salons by a nurse practitioner with two years of experience? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Botox can be supplied by a nurse practitioner, with each state providing for different rules and regulations. That said you have the choice to pursue whichever injector makes you most comfortable.
