I have seen on this site that so many types of medical practitioners can inject Botox...dentists, psychiatrists, etc. I also know many women who go to Botox parties at someone's home with an RN or someone with even less medical injecting.
Who does the manufacturer of Botox actually sell to? Do they have to be a doctor?

Answer: Psychiatrists are licensed medical doctors and are eligible to purchase BOTOX should they choose.
Dentists are also licensed to purchase and use BOTOX although many state dental boards restrict this practice. There are not states in the United States that permit nurses to purchase and administer BOTOX. How do spas with only nurses offering services get these products? Often they have an illegal arrangement with a licensed physician.
