Who Can Inject Botox & Fillers in Oregon?

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

MD, DO, NP, PA, RN under physician supervision Yes, under physician delegation; RN must work under standing orders or direct supervision

In Oregon, 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 Oregon handles both.

The exam that makes it legal

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