Can I Find Botox Injections at Pharmacist?

You won't find a pharmacy that provides cosmetic Botox injections. I would do some research in your area for a reputable and well-known provider for your best results!

Today, you can get Botox almost any where. One of my new patients was offered Botox by his gastroenterologist! While Botox is all over the internet and popular culture, the injections do require knowledge of anatomy, extensive training and experience. In Botox and in life, you get what you pay for. Seek an experienced injector if you want consistent, lasting results with a minimal risk of complications. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACSWeber Facial Plastic Surgery

Hi Jiji.  Although it may be tempting to try and figure out how to inject Botox, you will not find a pharmacy wiling to sell it to you.  Botox is controlled by the FDA and only physicians are allowed to purchase and dispense it.  In addition, the proper use of Botox involves a keen understanding of the facial muscular anatomy which would limit your ability to inject it properly even if you could get your hands on it.  

Best bet is to find someone you can trust (physician or nurse obviously) to inject it for you.  Good luck.

Botox and other cosmetic treatments can be found in many places, some of which range from reputable to non reputable places.  As a board certified dermatologist I have seen many issues including serious, long term problems when these procedures were performed the wrong way.

While a pharmacy is a great place to pick up a prescription, I would NEVER trust something like my face to a person who dabbles in cosmetics.  It simply isn't worth the risk.  Even if it is a huge savings in costs, the negatives greatly outweigh the positives.. 

In the United States, each state has their own laws that determine who can perform injections of Botox and fillers.  I am not aware of any state that would allow a pharmacist to administer a Botox injection.  It is possible that a pharmacy might have a doctor or nurse on staff that could perform a Botox injection, if it were legal to do so in that state.  My recommendation would be to have your Botox treatment performed by a physician in his or her office.
