Although Botox is a non-surgical treatment generally used for cosmetic concerns, it is a prescription-only medicine. This means you will only be able to undergo treatment if a qualified medical prescriber has reviewed your aesthetic concerns and prescribed the botulinum toxin to you in person.
Doctors and dentists are prescribers, while nurses, pharmacists and some other healthcare professionals can undergo additional training to become qualified prescribers. Of course, it is also essential that they have had training specifically in the use of botulinum toxin.
Remote prescribing is illegal; this means prescriptions can only be provided if the prescriber has reviewed the patient in a face-to-face consultation. They should not prescribe Botox after a phone or video consultation.
