Who Can Inject Botox & Fillers in Georgia?

Q: Who can legally inject Botox and dermal fillers in Georgia?

MD, DO, NP, PA, RN under physician supervision/delegation Yes, under physician delegation; Georgia Board of Nursing permits RN injections with proper protocols

In Georgia, the answer comes down to two things: who is allowed to hold the syringe, and who has to authorize the treatment first. Here's how Georgia handles both.

Who can inject

MD, DO, NP, PA, RN under physician supervision/delegation

Registered nurses (RNs)

Yes, under physician delegation; Georgia Board of Nursing permits RN injections with proper protocols

Nurse practitioners & physician assistants

NP/PA may inject under physician collaboration; independent practice not permitted for injectables

The exam that makes it legal

Required; in-person exam before treatment A valid order or good-faith exam by an authorized provider is what makes an injection lawful — not simply who holds the syringe.

Training expected

No state-mandated injector training beyond licensure.

What to verify in Georgia

Ensure your medical director is Georgia-licensed and establish written delegation protocols for all staff; verify compliance with Georgia Board of Nursing rules on RN scope.
