What Training Do You Need to Inject Botox in Colorado?

Colorado doesn't hand the syringe to just anyone. Here's the license, the training, and the supervision that Colorado expects before you can inject.

By Evan at Inside MedSpa

Training & certification expected

No state-mandated injector training beyond licensure

The license that lets you inject

MD/DO, NP/PA with physician collaboration, RN under physician delegation

If you’re an RN

Yes, under physician delegation; specific scope varies by facility protocol

Why the order still matters

Required; in-person or telehealth permitted under certain conditions Training gets you the skill; a valid order or good-faith exam is what keeps the treatment lawful.

What to verify in Colorado

Confirm with the Colorado Medical Board whether your specific ownership structure and delegation model complies with current interpretations of physician collaboration requirements.
