Botox Frequently Asked Questions
In Florida, Botox injections are a medical procedure and must be performed by a practitioner legally authorized to do so. Depending on the provider’s license, education, training, and applicable supervision or delegation requirements, certain physicians, advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), physician assistants (PAs), and registered nurses (RNs) may be involved in administering Botox.
However, not every person offering Botox injections is a physician. Completing an aesthetics course or obtaining a Botox training certificate is not the same as holding a medical license.
At St. Jude Medical Center & Aesthetic Care, we believe your safety, comfort, and results deserve medical expertise. Our Botox services are provided by a Medical Doctor (MD), offering patients the benefit of physician-level medical knowledge, clinical assessment, and treatment planning.
When choosing where to receive Botox, we encourage you to ask who will actually perform your injections, what their professional credentials are, and who will evaluate your medical history and treatment needs.
Your face deserves more than a cosmetic treatment. It deserves informed medical care.
- Medical evaluation: Your treatment begins with consideration of your medical history, facial anatomy, goals, and individual needs.
- Personalized treatment planning: Dosing and injection placement are selected according to your facial muscles and desired outcome.
- Medical knowledge: A physician brings extensive medical education to the assessment of potential risks, contraindications, and complications.
- A focus on safety and natural-looking results: Our goal is to help you look refreshed while maintaining your natural expression.
No. A Botox training certificate does not make someone a physician or independently authorize that person to practice medicine. Providers have different levels of education, licensure, and scope of practice. In Florida, the authority to administer Botox depends on the provider’s professional license and the applicable legal requirements.
Yes. Before booking, ask whether your injections will be performed by an MD, an APRN, a PA, an RN, or another individual, and ask about that person’s training and authorization to perform the procedure. Knowing who will treat you helps you make an informed decision about your care.
