We understand it’s the most popular skin rejuvenation treatment in the world. We even realize that men have finally started to warm to the idea of having it done.   However, that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea for people to get Botox injections at somebody’s house, even if the individual administering the shots is a registered nurse.

First of all, just because they are a registered nurse doesn’t mean they are properly licensed and trained to administer these injections.   Before anyone is injected with Botox, the needle needs to be sterilized and the individual’s skin must be cleaned. Also, a new needle and syringe must be used after each injection.  If you are getting a Botox injection at somebody’s home, there is no real way for you to know whether all of these safety steps have been taken.

That’s why it is always best to get a Botox injection from a licensed aesthetician a local med spa.
