Who Can Inject Botox & Fillers in Maine?

In Maine, 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 Maine handles both.

By Evan at Inside MedSpa

Who can inject

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

Registered nurses (RNs)

Yes, under physician delegation and supervision

Nurse practitioners & physician assistants

NP/PA may inject under physician collaboration; independent practice limited

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 Maine

Establish a written physician-supervision agreement and ensure the medical director is licensed in Maine and actively involved in protocol development and oversight.
