At a RN Owned Medi-Spa in Maine, is the RN Allowed to Administer Botox?

Question

What are the Maine regulations on registered nurses giving Botox?

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

Regardless of your state, the laws being different from state to state, do you want a nurse to inject your Botox or trust a physician who may understand the anatomy better? This is a theoretical question. There is no doubt that experience is important and there are some nurses who may inject Botox with more consistent results than some doctors depending on their skills, experience and specialty.

Robert Kearney, MD, FACS · Answer

In California nurses can inject botox and fillers at a Medical Spa as long as they have oversight of a Medical director.  The Medical director takes medical liability so you can be assured the RN's are trained appropriately.  Laws are different in every state

Charles E. Crutchfield III, MD · Answer

In Minnesota MediSpas must be owned by Physicians in order to administer prescription medications, including Botox or Juvederm.

Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS · Answer

In Florida, RN's are unable to inject botox. Based of a review online, Maine is more silent on the subject so you will need to contact the Medical Board in Maine to clarify its guidelines.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

In NY, a nurse can only inject botox under the direct supervision of a medical doctor.  As for Maine, I have no idea.
