BOTOX Cosmetic remains the most popular wrinkle treatment on the market today, and with good reason: it is very effective at reducing fine lines and furrows, including crow’s feet and frown lines. Because of its popularity, more days spas, clinics, and surgeons are offering BOTOX. However, not everyone is equally qualified to administer BOTOX injections safely.
Each state in the U.S. has different regulations governing who can legally administer BOTOX injections. Some states – including Pennsylvania and Maryland – only allow licensed physicians to offer BOTOX. If you are considering getting BOTOX, make sure you do not go to a clinic where other healthcare professionals administer BOTOX “under supervision.” This is not only less safe, it is illegal in Maryland and Pennsylvania.
By seeking out a board-certified plastic surgeon, you will ensure you receive BOTOX under the trained hand of an experienced physician in a safe, sterile environment. More importantly still, you can rest assured that if any complications arise, your physician will know exactly how to address them.
