Aesthetic procedures

[Khaleesi0]

I'd like to train in botex and dermal fillers etc and have been trying to find information online.

Do I have to train as a nurse now before I can complete any of this training?

Not sure if you can just learn to give botox/fillers etc, most people i know are qualified nurses/doctors/drntists, etc
Also you have to be a practitioner, which means you have to be qualified to give prescriptions for the right amount of them, and carry corrective treatments oif things go wrong, it is actually illegal not to be
I found this out the hard way,
I would forget about it if i were you.it will take a long time,

Botox and other branded muscle-freezing toxins such as Vistabel (the UK brand name for Botox), Azzulure and Bocouture are classed as prescription-only medicines in the UK, which means they can only be prescribed and given to a patient by a qualified prescriber. Only medical professionals can qualify as prescribers, so therapists can only perform Botox injections if they work alongside a prescribing clinician. The prescriber cannot dispense the toxin remotely; they must be present at a patient consultation. The prescriber also has responsibility for the outcome of the procedure. As doctors and nurses are unlikely to want to take responsibility for a non-medical professional’s injecting work, and both the practitioner and the prescriber would want to be compensated, this set-up just doesn’t offer many benefits for either party.
