Every state governs the regulations of who can provide injections, and what supervision is necessary. I don't know the answer for PA but if you contact their medical board they may be able to tell you or direct you to the correct office. You want to make sure that whoever is injecting you is using aseptic technique, avoiding cross contamination between patients and is using an American FDA approved vial of Botox from Allergan.

These treatments are regulated by the Medical Board of Pennsylvania. Google them and you will find their website and their contact information.
I recommend you see only a board-certified physician (MD or DO) certfied by the American Board of Medical Specialities (not other boards) in one of the FOUR core cosmetic specialties with the full training to manage not only giving Botox, but also any complications that may arise.

Botox seems deceivingly simple but when done wrong can be a disaster.

I have communicated with my patient's rheumatologists and dermatologists who have Lupus and have never been told not to inject Botox, or Juvederm or Restylane on these patients. Certainly, if one is having a lupus flare, I wouldn't suggest doing any elective treatment at that time.
Precise placement of Botox in the glabella should help give you a lift if anything, not lower your eyebrows and it shouldn't prevent you from raisisng the eyebrows. Injection of the frontalis muscle above the eyebrow can prevent upward movement of the eyebrow and this may happen if the...
If a sterile bottle of Botox is mixed with unpreserved saline, and if it sits around for weeks, and if the bottle top is not cleaned with alcohol during the first mixing with saline or withdrawl, or subsequent withdrawls, then bacteria may grow. Also, board certified physicians observe OSHA...
