Can a Cosmetologist Inject Botox?

Each state has different laws about who can legally inject Botox. But I think the secondary question is... who SHOULD inject Botox? Botox is a neurotoxin, and needles being put into your face to affect your nerves and muscles is no minor thing.

Dermatologists have anatomical and surgical training during and after medical school, in their dermatology residencies, and some in surgical fellowships following. Do not confuse cosmetologists (aestheticians) with dermatologists (MD's).

Be careful who you ask to treat you with Botox.

Botox injections should only be administered by a doctor. It can however also be performed under doctor supervision by a nurse or physician assistant. I do not know what a cosmetologist is?
