Botox Training Courses and Pharmacists
Many pharmacists now attend Botox training and dermal filler courses. For many years it was a grey area in aesthetic medicine with many insurance companies not providing pharmacists with the insurance to practice. Therefore, most Botox training companies did not provide pharmacists. Since the release of HEE guideline for cosmetics and the inclusion of pharmacists in the report you can now source insurance and practice aesthetic medicine. Therefor a pharmacist can now attend any KT Training course and practice the treatments after completing the courses.
The foundation Botox and dermal filler courses are recommended as a good starting point for most pharmacists. These courses teach you to provide the most popular treatments available in non-surgical area of aesthetic medicine. The skin peels and skin care are also beneficial to pharmacists setting up their own cosmetic practice.
Botox Training Guidance for Pharmacists
The Botox and other botulinum toxin product are prescription only medicines. Therefor a registered pharmacist will require a prescribing qualification to practice with botulinum toxins independently. Alternatively, a pharmacist will need a qualified prescriber to assess and write the prescription for each patient. The dermal fillers, chemical peels and other products are classified as medical devices and do not require a prescription. Therefor a pharmacist without the prescribing qualification can purchase a medical device independently.
