Can estheticians administer injectables?

ARDavisOct 18, 2016
I've read several answers to questions regarding who can administer injections (i.e. restylane, botox, juvederm,) in the state of Texas. Some answers state it must be a licensed physician, and a couple answers stated that some estheticians administer them as well. Can anyone in Texas tell me what the regulations are, and where I may find specific reference to the law or regulation itself stating it is 'okay,' for aestheticians to administer injections? Thank you
