Botox injections are performed by medical professionals only. As a certified teaching facility, we are often called on by medical professionals as well as non-medical professionals such as cosmetologists, who believe that Botox injections may be performed by non-physicians. It is true the technique may appear to be relatively simple to perform, and with proper training it can be; however, only a Physician or qualified health care practitioner can properly treat complications should they occur, and therefore Botox injections are restricted to medical professionals only.
You must be a medical professional and have the necessary Botox certification requirements.
The requirements include having a valid medical, professional license in the state for which you're practicing medicine and performing Botox injections. Once you enroll in a Botox certification training program, you will need to provide documentation
that proves you are licensed in your state. Your medical license also must be active and in good standing with the state. Without a valid medical license you will not be able to become BOTOX certified
For more information about State requirements and Botox certification, contact your local State Medical Board.
For Botox training with Empire Medical Training, you must provide documentation that shows you are a licensed medical practitioner. Specifically, only medical practitioners who hold an MD, DO, DDS, DMD, NP, and nurses under the supervision
of a physician may inject at a Botox certification program. For practitioners who are not Physicians, there are usually state specific requirements to be aware of. Every state is different regarding who is allowed to perform a medical procedure,
other than Physicians. . Even a simple injection, or piercing the skin, is considered to be performing a medical procedure so it is important to be aware of the regulations.
Foreign medical doctors or foreign medical graduates may attend a Botox training program with Empire Medical Training however, may not perform the injections unless they are licensed in the United States. There is no International reciprocity
in medicine. Foreign medical graduates and medical doctors must pass all US licensure requirements to be able to inject at a Botox certification course.
Non-medical Personnel may enroll in an Empire Medical Training Botox Certification program, however, are not eligible to perform any medical procedures or live injections on patients. Non-medical individuals must be sponsored by a professional
who holds an MD, DO, NP, DDS, or DMD degree.
The answer is Yes and NO.
Some Non Physicians may become certified to perform Botox injections; however, this is dependent on their medical degree and the state the procedure is being performed.
Here are some general guidelines for Non Physicians getting certified in Botox
Nurses (RNs) will always require the supervision of a physician and may perform Botox injections and become certified to perform Botox injections in most states, but not all. Nurse Practitioners who have the authority to prescribe may also
purchase Botox, which is a controlled substance, and also perform Botox injections. This is true in most states; however, it is prudent for the medical professional to confirm this with their local state medical board.
Physician Assistants (PAs) are usually able to inject with the supervision of a physician, but with some restrictions as to their ability to acquire, dispense, and administer the medicine. Please click on the following regulations concerning
mid-level providers by state for scheduled prescription medications.
You need to enroll in and successfully complete training in an accredited, AMA approved Botox Certification Course (be careful, most are not!) Empire Medical Training is a “full time” medical training organization that offers AMA PRA Category 1 Credits ™ credits (not just CME credits) for your certification in Botox. Empire’s faculty are highly qualified, expert physician-only instructors who will help you pass the necessary testing that is required to become certified in Botox. Many trainers claim to be approved providers however if there is no proficiency testing or examination of any kind is given, the program is NOT accredited. Empire Medical Training Botox training is approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
The benefits for physicians and mid-levels in obtaining Botox certification allows others (i.e. malpractice insurance carriers, Allergan, and patients) to know you have successfully completed the learning objectives and hands-on technical training to safely and effectively administer Botox within a practice setting as well as acquire the medication. All healthcare providers benefit in learning these “in-demand” procedures whether a physician practice owner or mid-level provider expanding their skill set. The manufacturers of the various medical supplies such as Botox or dermal fillers, will not sell the medicines to you if they believe you are not qualified so it is in your best interest to become certified.
It is not necessary to become Board Certified in order to purchase medicines or perform procedures; however, like other areas of medicine the more training and knowledge you have, the better your outcome will be and the more recognized your credentials will be. Empire Medical Training in cooperation with the American Academy of Procedural Medicine (AAOPM) offers the coveted Board Certification in Aesthetic Medicine which is recognized in the Aesthetics community.
