I had Botox and lip injections. I left $100 tip, the lady asked if it was for Aesthetician or Injector Dr. Do Dr.'s take tips?

Asked By:Keeliss in Puyallup, WA

I have had several services at this medical spa, facials, microderm, Botox and others. I have always left a tip but never imagined it my go to the Dr. Am I wrong? should I tip the Dr/ injector? It seems like the aesthetician/assistant does everything but the injection. He does a wonderful job but I have never thought of tipping him or the RN Injector. I send my friends there also what do I tell them about tipping so they don't feel the same awkwardness? Thank you
