There is no MD at the 'medical spa' I have used. The technician I go to has 10+ years in the industry and most with Botox or Juvederm. What kind of risk is associated with technician vs MD?
Answer: Botox is a medical procedure and should be treated with respect In a number of states, Botox can be injected by non-physicians. These may include RN's etc. Some are very experienced and some are not. This is a medical procedure with a very safe but strong medication. Do you want to take chances with your face to save a few dollars? I would inquire on the experience of the injector and supervision, if this is in doubt I suggest you seek a qualified physician with experience in Botox treatments. The core specialties include Plastic Surgery, Facial Plastic Surgery, Oculoplastic Surgery and Dermatologic Surgery.

Answer: Botox medical injectors Botox and Juvederm are medical products that can only be administered by a licensed doctor or nurse, whatever their speciality may be. However, it's always best to find an injector who is experienced and has knowledge of the skin.

Answer: Botox to be treated by a physician or medical technician Every state has different rules as to who legally can perform injections. Aside from this authority once given by the state, the individual, whether physician or nurse or physician's assistant (P.A.), should have a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the areas they are treating. Botox is very safe but side effects can happen and they can last for up to a few months. Asymmetry (unequal results from side to side), drooping of the upper eyelid, or even lip, can occur with incorrect placement, volume or dose. These can be very troubling, even though temporary, to the patient. In general, physicians have the best understanding of the anatomy and may be better suited to perform those slightly different injection techniques or use different areas for insertion depending on each individual's nuances.

Answer: Botox and filler injectors Different states regulate who can inject fillers like Juvederm and Restylane as well as neuromodulators like Botox. Fortunately, these products are extremely safe so even inexperienced injectors or non-physicians can inject them safely the vast majority of the time. There are some non-physicians who are even better than physicians. The bottom line is who is supervising these services should a problem arise and the reputation of the professional injecting you. Generally, usually a nurse or physician injects these products so I am not sure what the regulations are in your state.
