Can Resident Interns Perform Juverderm Injections at a RN's Presence?

The Resident is a physician, and as a physician, they are theoretically allowed to perform injections. However, it seems as though you were not told that someone other than your injector was going to do the procedure. It is unconscionable that you were not informed of this prior to having the injection. I would move on, and have a board-certified physician (like the ones you see on Realself) do your future injections.

There are many opinions on who should inject fillers, Botox etc. I know that if I or my mother were to receive Botox or filler injections, or any other skin treatments for that matter, I would demand that a board-certified dermatologist do all the treatments, not a delegate, not a trainee, etc. It is your call whether you feel comfortable with this person, and it doesn't matter if its legal or not (in this case it sounds quite dubious), its just about common sense. Buyer beware - caveat emptor.
