What qualifications do I need to become Botox certified?

You must be a medical professional and have the necessary Botox certification requirements.

The requirements include having a valid medical, professional license in the state for which you're practicing medicine and performing Botox injections. Once you enroll in a Botox certification training program, you will need to provide documentation that proves you are licensed in your state. Your medical license also must be active and in good standing with the state. Without a valid medical license you will not be able to become BOTOX certified.

For more information about State requirements and Botox certification, contact your local State Medical Board.
