It is against the law in the US to inject Botox without an actual face to face consultation from a prescriber. Any injection needs to be directed by a medical professional. In some countries, beauty therapists can give Botox injections.
The treatment involves small doses of Botox administered via tiny injections directly into underlying muscles between the brows to temporarily reduce the muscle activity that causes frown lines. It does this by blocking nerve impulses that trigger wrinkle-causing muscle contractions, creating a smooth appearance. Frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead lines, and crows feet can be reduced or eliminated by tiny injections of Botox®. With this, the muscles responsible for the formation of these lines are weakened.
IN ORDER TO give someone an injection, you must be a doctor, nurse practioner (R.N. with further education), an LPN (licenced practical nurse), or an R.N. (registered nurse). If you are a child or an adult with a particular need for injections (diabetes, cancer etc.) a nurse can instruct you how, and you can give them to yourself. ALSO, trained medical personnel, like an EMT in an ambulance can give injections and start I.V.'s.
yes this medication can react and cause an eyedroop, I certainly wouldn't give botox injections whilst a patient is taking this, I would wait 2 weeks after the meds then is safe
No LPNs can not give any IM injections.

Giving injections is not within the scope of practice of a CNA. Some states allow CNAs to perform certain procedures under the license of the RN, but this varies from state to state and facility to facility. An RN is fully liable for any procedures she/he requests or allows the CNA to do that are outside the scope of practice of a CNA. The RN and the CNA both should consider long and hard before performing anything outside their scope of practice.
Botox should be administered by qualified medical professionals such as Doctors, Dentists and Nurses. You need to have knowledge of facial anatomy and be trained in injection technique before even considering injecting botox.
