RN injecting in a med spa with no physician? Is this safe and legal?

Vivid122
I am seeing increasingly different "injectors" who are RNs doing filler and other injectables like Botox. However they are in "med spa" settings instead of medical facilities. It's my understanding that these are prescription medications requiring provider level licensure to be used. Is this safe/legal? I know not only physicians do filler, but how are nurses able to do this without the oversight? It's like every time I go online there is some new "injector" doing filler in an office.
