Although each practitioner has their own preferences, it is common practice to wear non-sterile gloves when injecting Botox or any minor procedure. Hope this helps.Be healthy and be well,James M. Ridgway, MD, FACSBellevue & Seattle Facial Plastic Surgeon
Yes, this is unusual. I will wear gloves for all injections and procedures, but I cannot speak for other practices. Best, Dr. ALDO
It is normal practice to wear gloves while injecting Botox. This is because there is always a chance a tiny amount bleeding can occur. Wearing gloves prevents the spread of disease to the injector. Also, the practice of not wearing gloves violates OSHA standards and should not be standard practice.
I cannot speak for other plastic surgeons, however it is uncommon to not wear gloves. In my practice it is standard for me to wear gloves during all treatments and procedures. If you continue seeing this MD i advise for you to request for him to wear gloves.
it's unlikely to cause any harm to you, however it is standard procedure for me to use gloves when doing any procedure on a patient.
