Who is Qualified to Inject Botox?

Botox should be given by a well qualified physician or nurse. It is imperative that they have the expertise in terms of location of the injections and the dose of the Botox. 

Thank you for your question about botox.  There is not a national certification or exam for an individual to inject botox.  However, injecting botox is an art and not all injectors appreciate that art.  Certain outcomes such as facial drooping, brow drop or asymmetries can occur when botox is not injected properly.  The goal of botox injections should be to achieve a natural appearance while decreasing muscle movement. 

To be sure you receive the best treatment, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.

I hope this helps.

The laws and restrictions regarding who can perform a medical procedure such as Botox injections will vary from one geographic location to another, but in general, most injections are performed by nurses or physicians. Some non-nurse and non-physician injectors are out there as well. Obviously, the quality of the results and pricing will vary based on the skill and experience of the injector.
I always recommend using an experienced, board-certified physician injector, preferably one who specializes in cosmetic treatments rather than someone who just performs Botox injections on the side. There are some aspects of Botox injections that are quite straightforward, but there are many nuances and advanced techniques that can really affect the result and are best performed by an expert injector. 
All the best,
