Who can give Juvederm injections? What licensure is needed?
Injectable fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, Radiesse, and many more) are most commonly performed by physicians but, at least in Texas, are also done by licensed medical personnel (such as nurses and aestheticians).I personally perform all injections of Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, Botox, and Dysport. As a patient, I would want the most experienced, best-trained person to do my injection.
Who can legally inject juvederm from state to state varies. Generally, physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners aer licensed to perform juvederm. In some states, registered nurses can as well. If you go to a center where the physician is not performing juvederm himself/herself, ensure that the person who is properly licensed, experienced, and properly supervised.
