Injecting Botox & Fillers: How to Maintain Compliance as an RN Injector

Injections have always been an easy way for nurses to switch to a career in aesthetic medicine. Many RN injectors enjoy the simplicity of setting up a treatment room, prepping the necessary equipment, and having a day of appointments go by rather quickly.

In the United States, nurses can only practice medicine in compliance with the rules set forth by governing health agencies. When you work in the aesthetics industry, things are no different. Therefore, understanding your State’s DPH guidelines is crucial for a viable career. Otherwise, you could put your license at risk.

Many aspiring RN injectors have questions about how to practice in accordance with state rules. Regulations vary widely, so, unfortunately, there are no broad answers. It depends where you live and how you choose to practice.

This article will cover some of the professional and legal factors that can impact you as an RN injector and how regulations may differ depending on where and how you practice.

Questions to consider before getting started

First and foremost, how you envision your career as a nurse injector will play into how the rules affect you. Here are some factors to think about as you get acquainted with your state’s regulations and requirements:

Where do I want to work?

Do you want to travel to your patients’ homes, rent a room in a Med Spa, or work as a Med Spa employee? DPH rules can vary depending on your place of employment. Private practice, medical spa, room or chair rentals, and home concierge services may all have different criteria.

Is performing the injections myself important to me?

Some, but not all, states allow RNs to administer cosmetic injections. Nurses who want to inject products such as Botox and fillers may elect to get licensed in a state that allows a broad scope of practice.

What are my employment options?

Your type of employment affects the compliance rules that govern you. RN injectors have four choices as they embark on their career, each with its own set of rules. Here are the main ones to know:

1. Concierge service

While not all states allow concierge practice, those that do allow traveling to your patients to treat them in their homes, offices, or an established business, affords the nurse a mix of flexibility and independence. Check if your state allows virtual sign-off of injection scripts.

2. Room or chair rental

Injectors who want a balance of independence and support may opt to rent a room or chair in a salon or Med Spa. Check with your state’s board of cosmetology if you’re renting within a salon.

3. Med Spa employment

Many RN injectors find work at a Med Spa or physician’s office. Note that, depending on the services offered, not all Med Spas have a supervising physician on staff. Asking about this is important when considering employment as an RN.

4. Med Spa ownership

Opening a private practice is an exciting prospect for established RN injectors who feel ready to level up their career. Having your own branded commercial space is challenging but rewarding.

Check your Department of State (DOS) website to learn what types of state and city licensing are required to start a business in your area. Some states also require medical zoning to open a practice. Hiring a supervising physician is a likely necessity to remain compliant.

RN Injector Compliance Checklist

Under the current regulatory environment, it’s necessary to maintain compliance as an RN injector. Here is a summary of what you need to know:

Decide where you want to work: Is being an independent nurse injector in your state even possible, or will you require NP or MD supervision?
Find out what licensing your state requires: Each region has location-specific RN licensing requirements. It is essential to familiarize yourself with the rules that apply to you in the state where you hold a license. Your State’s official DPH website is the best place for up-to-date information as the regulations may change over time.
Determine if you are allowed to perform injections given your licensure: Some states require an NP license to administer cosmetic injections. Other states allow RNs to perform the injections on their patients.
Check if you need a supervising physician for script sign-off and product purchases: Most states require a physician to sign off for RNs. Other states allow NPs full scope of practice for injectables, meaning a qualifying NP can sign off for the RN and purchase products. Tip: In Massachusetts, Joseph A. Russo’s nurse network, Medical Aesthetics Associates, offers clinical supervision and live order support to midlevel providers.
Check if your state allows virtual sign-off of injection scripts: If your state allows this, you may be able to work without an on-site supervising physician.
Check with your state’s board of cosmetology if renting within a salon: For RN injectors renting a chair or room, there can be a whole new set of rules. Again, refer to the official government sites in your state for the most updated information.

Summary

There are countless opportunities for nurses in the booming aesthetics industry. It is critical to remain compliant as a nurse injector to work in the field. The bottom line? At a minimum, always check with your State DPH to stay abreast of the current rules as they define how and where you can practice. Of course, there is plenty to learn before diving into a career as a nurse injector. Compliance is just the starting point.

COVID Burnout

Burnt By COVID-19?

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has been devastating for everyone. So far, the US has seen more than 62 million cases and over 840,000 deaths — and the numbers are still rising. Millions have experienced major disruptions in their lives — from bouts of sickness, hospital stays, and the loss of loved ones to lost jobs and home quarantine. Add to that the emotional toll of the uncertainty that comes with such a virulent disease, and it’s safe to say it has been an extraordinarily difficult two-plus years for all of us.

But perhaps no one has been hit harder than medical professionals — the doctors, nurses, PAs, and allied workers who have been on the front lines of the pandemic from the beginning.

COVID’s Continued Toll on Medical Professionals

According to researchers, COVID burnout has taken a serious toll on medical professionals in our country. Common sources of burnout have included stress, anxiety and depression, fear of exposure, and workload. In fact, one study showed these conditions have led almost half (49%) of medical professionals to report that they are burnt out.

Am I Burnt Out?

How do you know if you’re one of the many healthcare workers who has become burnt out during the COVID pandemic? The CDC says there are certain characteristics or changes to watch out for.

Irritation, anger, or denial
Feelings of uncertainty, nervousness, or anxiety
Helplessness or powerlessness
Diminished motivation
Feeling exhausted or overwhelmed
Sadness or depression
Trouble sleeping
Difficulty concentrating

If you’ve suffered from one or more of these conditions, you may find yourself considering other options. For many medical professionals, a switch to the field of aesthetic medicine has been the remedy they need.

Top 5 Reasons Healthcare Workers are Swerving to Aesthetics

Medical aesthetics is the health-related field dedicated to restoring, preserving, and enhancing people’s physical appearance and function. It can include work with non-invasive treatments, injectables, and other restorative therapies.

But beyond a change in techniques, a career in aesthetic medicine can relieve burnout in several ways — and keep it from coming back.

Emotional Health

The work environment in the aesthetic medical field is generally MUCH less stressful. To be sure, the health, safety, and wellbeing of patients are still the highest priority. But without the added pressure of triage and daily life-or-death decisions, the emotional weight is usually much more manageable.

Work-Life Balance

No more 80+ hour weeks! No more on-call shifts or emergency calls! Aesthetic providers typically operate only during set hours and on set days. Further, shifts generally reflect a standard workday. That means most aesthetic professionals can consistently enjoy evenings, weekends, holidays with family or friends, or personal pursuits.

Growing Demand

The field of aesthetic medicine is a vibrant one. Advances in injectables, non-invasive therapies, and surgical procedures are making aesthetic treatments safer, more effective, and more affordable for more people. One report indicates that almost ALL (98%) of the Millennial Generation would consider professional treatment at some point in their lives. And Boomers aren’t staying behind either. As they enjoy retirement and enjoy more disposable income, the number of cosmetic treatments continues to increase year-over-year.

Earning Potential

There’s no doubt you can earn more working in aesthetics than you can in a hospital. In fact, ZipRecruiter pegs the national average salary for aesthetic nurses at almost $86,000 compared to around $70,000 for RNs. But the starting salary is just the baseline. You can increase your income through experience and advanced training. Or — with an entrepreneurial spirit and a few business skills — you can start your own practice, and your earning potential is virtually unlimited!

Career Control

Ultimately, you are in control of the direction your career goes in aesthetic medicine. You get to decide what practice you join or whether you prefer to work for yourself alone. Either way, you are no longer bound to the whims of a distant hospital administration. Instead, you have the power to shape your career to fit your values, goals, and lifestyle.

Start Your Swerve Today with Aesthetic Mentor

Founded by Harvard-trained plastic surgeon Dr. Joseph A. Russo in 2011, Aesthetic Mentor has trained over 3,000 healthcare providers wanting to transition into aesthetics. Aesthetic Mentor is the industry leader in hands-on training for medical aesthetics as well as continued education and career development. From novice courses to advanced courses, Aesthetic Mentor’s curriculum is based upon Dr. Russo’s “safe provider method” — an approach that focuses on compliance, minimizing adverse events, and providing you with all of the knowledge you need to say “goodbye” to COVID burnout and take control of your career.

How BOTOX works?

Hello everyone, I’m Dr. Russo, the Aesthetic Mentor, and my business is to teach you my business is to sort of share my knowledge of esthetics and all the stuff we’re going to talk about. I’ve been doing this for about 30 years, so I feel like I’ve got enough credibility, enough experience to tell you what to do and what not to do. And one of the most sorts of recurring questions we get is about neurotoxins.

Botox is the one everyone recognizes. But there are also several other neurotoxins you may have heard of Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin, they’re all very similar, but yet they’re different. They all let me put it this way. The part that does the work, the part that actually paralyzes the muscle is the same in all four. But there are few differences in terms of the proteins that are connected to them. And they all work and they’re all great and they all have their place. And I just want to be sure you know about that.

So what actually is a neurotoxin? People always say, well, what is it is a poison, is a filler. Does it add volume? No. Neurotoxins are just something that works on the muscle right in your face. So when you animate, when you raise your eyebrows like this or make a match, it’s the muscle contracts. The skin is attached to the muscles or the skin moves with the muscle is when a muscle activates, it contracts. So the skin contracts, whether it has wrinkles on it, has to fold somewhere in order to contract.

So those lines over time get deeper and deeper as your skin gets thinner and thinner and as you age. So neurotoxin goes in there and stops that process. So when you try to raise your eyebrows, you don’t work. You may still be able to raise them, but in a, you know, sort of reduced way. So those lines don’t get any deeper.

People often say, “how do I know what I need to do it?”, “When should I do neurotoxin or how old should I be?”, It really is independent of age. It’s really when you start having lines at rest. Right. So when you like right now, I’m not animated, but you can see I have lines at rest. So I definitely need Botox and I need emergency treatment.

But also, in today’s society, people are not looking to get old and try to get young again. They’re looking to prevent aging. So we see a lot of people in their 20s. We just are trying to prevent aging. And I think that’s fine because they don’t want to get lines and try to reverse that.

So what happens when we give someone a neurotoxin? It’s actually gets taken up into the nerve. I know everyone talks about the muscle because that’s what you see. But it is a neuro | toxin, meaning it works on the nerve. So we inject it in the muscle and the nerve that innovates that muscle nerve, that makes that muscle work, gets treated with protons, boaties, or whatever neurotoxin you’re using. I’m using Botox. That’s the most common one that people recognize gets taken up into the nerve and prevents the nerve from telling the muscle to move. It just interrupts that signal. You’re still permanent damage just aren’t permanent effects on it.

After about three months for most people, sometimes for some people are lucky. It’s six months out of it. But after that period of time, a neurotoxin that’s gone in your muscle works normally again. So there are no permanent effects. There’s no danger to can’t hurt you. Don’t get me wrong, there can still be complications if the injector perhaps doesn’t do it exactly right or you see too much or too little or something like that. But no matter what happens with neurotoxin, it goes away in three months.

And if you have a complication or something that you don’t like, will go away in three months. However, on the other hand, if you have an amazing result and you love it and you think you look amazing, it goes away in three months.

So there’s nothing permanent about it’s nothing scary about it. Go to someone who does a lot of it because, you know, really experience is the best teacher. You know, once you’ve had a lot of experience, you will always know what not to do and usually say, so go to someone who’s done a lot, maybe someone who’s, you know, treat one of your friends or family members and see what you think.

Botox can be used all over the face. It can be used anywhere where there are wrinkles coming in the forehead between the eyes, around the eyes, on the nose, on the lower face, chin, jaw, neck it could be used in a lot of different places. But be sure that you know your provider. Make sure that you’ve had looked at the reviews. Make sure you talk to other people who’ve been cheated by them because you don’t really want to have a bad experience.

So that’s the basic nutshell answer on Botox or neurotoxins in general. There will actually be a fifth one coming out, I believe, either later this year or early next year. So keep your eyes peeled.

An exciting update for MAA members!

Hello, everyone. It’s been a long time since we’ve spoken COVID it’s been tough on everybody, and I think now, for the most part, we’re over it and people are doing well and maybe looking to get to the next level.

I wanted to just take a few minutes to talk about what we’re doing here in MAA to help you. And you try to maybe push you to make your practice even better than it has, as a member of MAA, you’re a member of a compliant network in and of itself separates you from probably 99% of all the people who are doing that. You know, you’re doing this under an environment or really an umbrella of safety.

And you have Heather and me and all the dashboard, NP’s and other members of our group that support you and help you. And, you know, we’re always here. You also have probably the lowest pricing in the country for what you’re doing in terms of neurotoxins and fillers, and I’m proud of that.

They’re teaching options for you, like at our school and as mentors. And, of course, the dashboard is amazing and I think all of them for being part of it. And recently, as you know, I’ve talked to a bunch of people in MAA and some of the other practices that are doing really well. It seems like people are ready to move to the next level. And for me, the next level is to get you guys involved with energy-based devices, whatever that means for you, laser radio, frequency, ultrasound, some combination of that.

And I want to help you because I know that it’s hard when you’re starting a business. Believe me, you know, this is my 30th year in practice. I know all the things that you don’t do. And then every one of them probably. But, you know, it’s hard to take on a lot of debt when you first get started. You know, some of these machines are, you know, hundreds of thousands of dollars. And people are really uncomfortable, you know, being in debt for that much, I completely get that. I understand. So we hear it may have come up with a plan, a system, a way for you to rent equipment from us. So we’ve just started this with a first to cool sculpting machines.

And basically, the way it works, it’s just a straightforward rental. You can just rent it on a yearly basis. And if it doesn’t work for you, you can give it back. You can keep renting it, do whatever. Our idea is just to get you going, getting you to use the energy-based devices because that’s really where your margins are going to come from. That’s really what’s going to help you grow your practice, because believe it or not, you know, these patients who are static patients. Yes, they want neurotoxin. Yes, they want fillers. But they also want all the other stuff.

The three things that I’ve targeted to help you. Number one, fat reduction. Right? Who isn’t fatter after Covid that we’ve all put on weight and patients are struggling with that. So we’ve got some fat reduction devices. So that’s always a good place to start. And of course, pigment, right. The pigment is always something that people complain of, particularly now that summer’s over. People are dealing with all the damage they sustained over the years.

So if you’re interested in any of these, you know, please let me know. I’ll be able to give you more information. I will sort of talk to you about more information as we go forward. But I just want to plant the idea in your mind that you can get to the next level. We will help you. The rental fees are really inexpensive. You can just keep it in your place for a year or two. Whatever you want, you can try it. But I think you’ll find that once you step into that energy base field, you’re going to be able to deliver so many more results to your patients.

They’ll complement the results that you do with neurotoxins and filler because to be completely honest with you, it’s really hard to build a successful practice, just a neurotoxin, and filler. Yes. It’s been done. But they’re going to go elsewhere for these energy-based devices. If someone there is doing neurotoxin or fillers, they may just decide to stay there.

So lets all kind of work on this together. So let me plant that seed. Hopefully, it’ll take root and I’ll be back with another post soon.

What is Aesthetic Mentor?

Welcome back. Today, we’re going to talk about what is Aesthetic Mentor. Aesthetic Mentor, our school we consider also as a university. Right? A lot of online classes, a practice session, hands-on very rich clinical experience to really make you a confident and competent provider.

The benefits of Aesthetic Mentor are that we have 15 years of experience. We know how to train you better than anybody. We know how to keep you safe, better than anyone because what really hurts everybody, the provider, the patient, and the industry in general is bad outcomes.

Bad outcomes really make it miserable for everybody. And honestly, when a lot of adverse events are happening, the boards of registration in medicine, nursing, esthetics come down and they’re forced to investigate and people have lost a license. And so we really focus on compliance, safety, and good clinical education, which translates into good outcomes.

That’s what we’re all about. We have classes that start with Introduction Neurotoxin, Introduction to Dermal Fillers that we have advanced levels of neurotoxin and fillers, Kybella, we have Laser, Microneedle. And we have everything you need to know. But probably one of the most important classes is our Cadaver class because Cadaver class really teaches anatomy underneath everything. So as I said before, you hear me say again,

You’re only as good an injector as you are an anatomist.

And, you know, the average poor injector really doesn’t know much anatomy and they’re really not very good injectors. The excellent injector really knows a lot of anatomy, knows how to be safe and be compliant. And honestly, you never take one cadaverous.

And I think you should be at least every year or two, you’ll just learn so much more. And I know that Dr. Mourre and I will do the dissections we always learn more. We always say, “I never realized that went there” or “did you ever see this before?” And we always sort of test ourselves and each other about things. And you’ll be amazed that once you’ve seen underneath the skin of a cadaver and you actually see the vessels and see the muscles and things like that, you’ll never inject in the same way.

In fact, you’ll be a much more cautious injector, which I think is really the best way to be. So that is really one of the biggest benefits is that you are kind of nurtured through it. We have sort of beginning-level courses, intermediate-level courses, and advanced-level courses.

We love for you to join us, follow us on the YouTube channel and also follow us on Instagram.

Welcome to Aesthetic Mentor – A little bit of our history!

Hello. Welcome to the Aesthetic Mentor Blog. This is hopefully the first of many posts that you’ll see. I’m Dr. Russo, a Harvard-trained board-certified plastic surgeon, and I work just outside of Boston. I’m really good at teaching people aesthetics.

I’ve been in the field for, as I said, 30 years. And believe it or not, when I started, there really wasn’t much to esthetics, aside from surgery. And even then it was kind of looked down upon to do plastic surgery for esthetic reasons.

Obviously, things have changed a lot. But if you think back, there were no neurotoxins, there were no fillers, there were no lasers, there was no radiofrequency or ultrasound, no Kybella, and none of the things that we have become used to.

And I have seen the birth of all of these devices and technologies. And, you know, in those 30 years, it’s been amazing. It got us to the point where now we’re treating people at much younger ages, noninvasive or minimally invasive therapies, and treatments, and they’re able to stay looking youthful for a long, long time.

When I first started. People waited till they were old and tried to look young. And that’s hard to do, particularly if you only have surgery as an option. But as time went on, we’ve got to the point where we are now, where younger people, millennials, and even beyond have really focused on looking youthful and staying youthful.

So we had fortunately, the technology has sort of driving it, but it’s also kind of caught up with it in that now we can keep people looking younger for a long, long time. And that’s much easier than trying to take someone who’s old and trying to look young.

So my purpose here on this blog is to help you, is to share my wisdom, my experience with you, my thoughts about the future to help you get started aesthetics of, if you haven’t already, to encourage you to do so.

And also, we’ll be taking on topics, you know, sort of more advanced topics about different kinds of treatments. But, you know, my primary goal is to give back. It’s been a really good ride for me. And I’ve really enjoyed being in aesthetics.

And I want to sort of steer you away from things that don’t work. I want to give you good approaches that treat patients. I want you to understand the psychology that we have to deal with as providers. And the thing that I have done is I’ve founded a school called the Aesthetic Mentor and I’m the Aesthetic Mentor.

So as the founder, it was really important to me to be able to help people get into this field. And I was one of the first people that started training nurses to do this. And believe me, a lot of my colleagues weren’t happy with it.

They felt that I was taking from them. But honestly, my thought was, well, if I don’t train people, do you think that people are going to say “Oh, I can’t do the aesthetics cause Dr. Russo wasn’t in teaching anymore. So we’re just going to go back to our nursing job at the hospital”. I said, of course, that’s never going to happen. They’ll find training somewhere else. It won’t be as good. They won’t get trained. They won’t have the confidence. They’ll have maybe some adverse events. It’ll get on the front page of the newspaper, you know, it’ll bring the whole industry down.

So I thought, why not be the leader in the field? Why not lead the educational component?

And my goal had been to become the gold standard in aesthetic education. I think I’ve accomplished that. So I have a school, as I mentioned, the Aesthetic Mentor, our primary campus is in Waltham, Massachusetts. We also have a school in Connecticut, and we have expansion plans well beyond that.

And our goal is simple. We want to take someone who’s perhaps never done this before, maybe is psych nurse. Maybe you’re an administrative nurse, maybe you are a pediatric nurse or whatever.

We can take you and using my safe injection program to train you so that you are a compliant, comforted, and competent injector. It isn’t easy. And over the years, we’ve made many, many adjustments. And in fact, during Covid, we made some huge changes in that we went from being in person, learning all the time where I was here, you know, 12 hours or so a day. We did our didactic. We did our demonstrations. We get our hands on all in the same day. It was exhausting for everyone. So we changed that with Covid. And we had to we started going to zoom meetings, but then we really realized the way to do this most effectively is to put it on demand. So you can download, for example, our introduction to neurotoxin course, which is the first course we think you should take. And then once you downloaded it, you can review it. It takes about four to five hours.

There are some questions in the presentation that ask you “what’s the muscle?”, kind of test yourself to make sure you’re understanding all the material. And once you get through that, you can come in for your hands-on at the beginning of a hands-on we have a didactic training by Dr. Mourre and some of our other videos. And you just kind of reviews all the things that I think were important for you to know. Then you jump right into your hands up.

And usually, we have somewhere between five to 10 models for every student, which in this industry is unheard of. And in addition, our ratio of students to teachers is two to one. And if you’re really lucky, sometimes we have a one-to-one.

So you’re injecting with somebody’s looking directly at. Making sure that you’re safe at all times. The other student is participating in that experience by, you know, answering questions about dose and location and for example, the neurotoxin would be placed. So it’s highly supervised.

It’s certainly a little bit nerve-wracking when you first start because people are just like really not sure what they’re doing. They have never done this before. But after you’ve done a few patients, it just gets easier and easier and easier because you’re kind of doing the same thing over and over again.

Then after you’ve completed that, you have the opportunity to take what we call “Practice session” and practice sessions are just what they say. You can bring in a model or two or even takes a lot from our model list. And you’re working one on one with your instructor and your instructor is helping you. And, you know, it’s not like we’re really holding your hand. We’re sort of letting you see what letting us see what you can do.

And obviously, if you stop me, I’m sure there’s someone there to help you. And you can take one or more practice sessions, depending upon how well you learn the stuff and how good you are with your fine motor control.

And once you’ve gotten to the point where the instructor says, you know what, I think you’re ready for your signoff, then you’re ready to go to that. And the off is more like a driver’s test, you know, when you’re in the car with the driving instructor. They’re not teaching you anything. They’re not even talking to you usually. And so you’re showing them what you can do if you hit the curb or you go through a red light or you hit a pedestrian. We’re definitely not getting your license.

Same thing here. If you go to your sign-up and you really aren’t able to be proficient and safe and understand the anatomy and understand dosing, then, we don’t pass you when you go back to your practice sessions.

Once you get signed off, you’re ready to go and start buying products and treating patients. And we understand that our school that there has to be a way of continuing your education. So in the next post, we’re going to talk about how to bridge the gap between getting that education and then sort of actually practicing the safe, compliant fashion.

Make sure you follow us on Instagram with @aestheticmentor and subscribe to our YouTube channel because it’s going to be a lot of fun. You’re going to have a lot of learning. I’m really looking forward.

Dermal fillers are either naturally-derived or synthetic material that is directly injected into the patient’s skin. Once injected, these fillers plump the certain area where there are wrinkles, depressions, or folds present. As a result, the patient will get back to having a natural and youthful look after undergoing the treatment. Because these problems often come with age or genetics, dermal fillers are in demand in the beauty industry market making it worth investing in this training.
