Who can perform dermal filler treatments?

This is a very grey area. Almost any doctor can perform dermal filler injections, and any nurse, anaesthetist, nurse practitioner, or physician's assistant in a doctor's office can do these injections. I'm always amazed that there are doctors in this country that have very fancy names and claim to do a lot of Botox or dermal filler injections, yet you go to their office and they're not even the ones doing the injections. If you're paying a lot of money for a dermal filler treatment, I think it's a good idea that the doctor does the actual injections.
