| Botox treatment as a sideline I'm in the UK and wondered if anyone else had tried this? A friend of mine works in the cosmetics/beauty industry and says they're crying out for someone to offer botox injections. And it seems very lucrative. Been looking into it and the law seems a bit vague. Just wondered if anyone had tried it? |

Mood:   | Re: Botox treatment as a sideline I would say we would assist the MD. Would have to ask a friend of mine who is an RN/Esthetician. |

In the UK, this is unregulated at the moment. A nurse would be considered qualified enough to do this if they'd also had maybe a 1 day botox training course and was proficient in giving injections. | |

Mood:  | Re: Botox treatment as a sideline Oh boy, 1 day of training is not enough. I'd rather see the nurse train with an MD. Too much can go wrong. |

 | Re: Botox treatment as a sideline I absolutely agree that the liability would be HUGE..... Too much can go wrong with Botox and if not under the license of a MD, it would seem to me that you are basically practicing medicine so could be sued.... :-( Linda/CMAS, BS, RN

Mood:   | Re: Botox treatment as a sideline Interesting question, would talk to an esthetician in your area. Find out where botox shots are available and ask about what kind of training/supervision is involved. Usually Botox injections (by prescription only) are given under the supervision of a medical director here in the United States. Do your research before you jump in to hang a shingle. Botox is big money for Medical Spas and Doctor's offices. You'll have some stiff competition if you're looking to break into the field. Can find more info here: Medical Estheticians-Nurse Career Alternative Hope that is helpful. Andrew Lopez, RN http://www.nursingentrepreneurs.com/ |
