i would imagine botox injections need to be done by doctors, but i keep hearing about nurses and others doing it...isn't botox a medical treatment that requires a doctor to administer it? who is best qualified to do botox shots?
Answer: Who can inject Botox Botox can be injected by a licensed physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or registered nurse depending on what state you reside in. Different states have different regulations in regards to that state's medical board. Just make sure to whomever you choose for Botox injections that they have been properly trained, licensed, and advanced certified with a lot of experience in Botox.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Who can perform Botox injections varies by state Depending on which state you live in, Botox injections may be done by registered nurses, physician’s assistants, or nurse practitioners along with licensed physicians. At my practice, only our board-certified, licensed dermatologists perform Botox or other types of injectable treatments. Botox requires experience and excellent technique in order to achieve the best and most natural looking results, so I would advise you to find a board-certified dermatologist in your area who performs Botox injections him or herself.

Answer: Who may inject Every state varies in laws about who may inject Botox and fillers. I personally inject all my patients because I want them to have the best care and my expertise. For most states, the physician is required to be on site during all injections.

Answer: Licensed & Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons for Botox Injections In our changing healthcare system the question of who’s qualified to inject botox is going to be asked more and more frequently. The answer is dependent upon how you define qualified. Does qualified mean licensed, or does that mean something more? If qualified means licensed in a broad spectrum of individuals should be able to inject botox. These may include registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, medical doctors, physician’s assistants, nurse practitioners ,and a variety of technicians. Unfortunately, within this group many individuals including physicians may not have adequate training or in the case of non- physicians adequate supervision. This is especially true in some medical spas where non-M. D. injectors are supervised in name only. For these reasons it's extremely important to understand your provider’s qualifications. Licensure is only a starting point. Providers of this service need to have an understanding of facial anatomy and facial aesthetics to properly perform these maneuvers. In most cases this requires a background in plastic surgery, facial plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery, occulo plastic surgery, or dermatology. Even within these groups it's important to check experience, qualifications, and certification. It's important to remember that not everyone who injects botox is equally qualified.
