What sort of doctor should administer Botox injections?.

Question:
What sort of doctor should administer Botox injections? And should they be a doctor?

Answer:
Botox is administered by many people. I am a firm believer that Botox, Dysport, and any injectable product should be administered by a medical professional, preferably a physician, a PA or NP with extensive cosmetic experience. It is really up to the patient to ask about the credentialing of their Botox injector but, unfortunately, people will often times seek out the best deal rather than the best experience of the injector or the best results. It is a fairly debatable topic and one that is surrounded with controversy
