Asked By:MakenzieR in Seattle, WA

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?
