- Small groups. In-person classes are limited to a maximum of eight attendees for personalized instruction and supervised practice.
Build Your Aesthetic Training Path
Aesthetic education does not follow exactly the same path for every clinician. Begin with foundational training, continue with advanced techniques, or select focused education based on your experience, practice goals, and areas of interest.
Step 1
Build Your Foundation
Begin with foundational anatomy, patient assessment, safety, botulinum toxin and dermal filler injection techniques, and guided injection training.
Recommended options:
The manikin-guided activity may be completed before live training or used afterward to reinforce marking, anatomy, and injection technique.
Step 2
Advance Your Skills
Level II is designed for clinicians who have completed foundational injectable training or are currently practicing and want to refine their technique, treatment planning, and clinical decision-making.
Topics include advanced procedures for neurotoxin, dermal filler, Kybella®, facial assessment, complication management, needle and cannula techniques, and advanced treatment areas.
Step 3
Develop Specialized Expertise
Focused masterclasses allow experienced clinicians to strengthen skills in specific products, treatment areas, and advanced aesthetic applications.

Texas Scope of Practice at a Glance
This summary is provided as a quick reference only. Requirements are described more fully in the guidance by license below. Completion of training does not independently grant, expand, or determine scope of practice, and each attendee remains responsible for confirming current requirements with the appropriate Texas licensing authority.
| License | Assess and Prescribe Independently | May Perform Injectables | Key Texas Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Physicians — MD/DO | Yes | Yes | Practice must be consistent with the physician’s education, training, competence, and lawful medical practice. Physicians are also the delegating authority under TMB Chapter 169. |
| Physician Assistants | No — practice is under physician supervision and delegation | Yes, under physician delegation | Practices under physician supervision and written delegation. A prescriptive-authority arrangement is required when the PA exercises delegated prescriptive authority. |
| Nurse Practitioners and APRNs | No — Texas does not grant independent APRN practice authority | Yes, under physician delegation | Requires physician delegation. A prescriptive-authority agreement or other required prescriptive-delegation arrangement applies when the APRN prescribes or orders treatment. |
| Registered Nurses | No | Yes, under physician delegation | Injectable treatment must be performed under signed written orders or protocols after a physician, PA, or APRN acting under physician delegation completes the required evaluation and treatment plan. |
| Dentists — DDS/DMD | Within the practice of dentistry only | Yes, for qualifying functional dental treatment within scope; isolated cosmetic use is limited to oral and maxillofacial surgeons. | Non-oral-surgeon dentists may use Botox or dermal fillers only as part of diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of a functional issue within the stomatognathic system. Isolated cosmetic facial use is outside their scope. |

State requirements may change. Clinicians should confirm current requirements with the appropriate licensing authority.
MD/DO — Physicians
Texas-licensed physicians may assess patients, diagnose, prescribe treatment, and perform botulinum toxin and dermal filler procedures consistent with their education, training, clinical competence, and lawful medical practice. Under Texas Medical Board Chapter 169, nonsurgical medical cosmetic procedures are considered the practice of medicine, and the physician serves as the delegating authority for these procedures.
Source: Texas Medical Board, 22 TAC §169.25; Texas Occupations Code Chapter 157.
Physician Assistants
A Texas physician assistant practices under physician supervision and may perform the initial evaluation and injectable procedures within the physician’s written delegation, protocols, and the PA’s education and clinical competence. When the PA exercises delegated prescriptive authority, the required prescriptive-authority arrangement must also be in place. Training may be completed before the PA and physician finalize the delegation and protocols needed for clinical practice.
Source: Texas Medical Board, 22 TAC Chapters 169 and 185; Texas Occupations Code Chapter 157.
Nurse Practitioners and APRNs
Texas does not grant APRNs independent practice authority. An APRN may perform the initial evaluation and injectable procedures under physician delegation when the services are consistent with the APRN’s role, population focus, education, and clinical competence. When the APRN prescribes or orders treatment, the required prescriptive-authority agreement or other applicable prescriptive-delegation arrangement must be in place. The APRN must establish the practitioner–patient relationship, complete the appropriate assessment and treatment plan, and comply with applicable Texas Board of Nursing and Texas Medical Board standards.
Source: Texas Board of Nursing; Texas Medical Board, 22 TAC Chapter 169; Texas Occupations Code Chapter 157.
Registered Nurses
Texas RNs may perform cosmetic injectable procedures as delegated medical acts under a physician’s signed written orders or protocols, with documented training and demonstrated clinical competency. Before the RN implements treatment, a physician, physician assistant, or APRN acting under physician delegation must establish the practitioner–patient relationship, complete the appropriate evaluation and treatment plan, and create or maintain the required medical record. A physician, physician assistant, or APRN must be onsite or immediately available for emergency consultation, and the physician must be able to conduct an emergency appointment if necessary.
An RN may not independently diagnose, prescribe, or establish the medical treatment plan. The RN remains responsible for accepting only those delegated activities that are consistent with the Texas Nursing Practice Act, applicable Board of Nursing standards, documented competency, and the clinical circumstances.

Dentists — DDS/DMD
Texas defines the general practice of dentistry by reference to the teeth, oral cavity, alveolar process, gums, jaws, and directly related and adjacent masticatory structures. Based on guidance from the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners, a Texas dentist who is not an oral and maxillofacial surgeon may use botulinum toxin or dermal fillers when the treatment is part of the diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of a functional condition involving the stomatognathic system and is otherwise within the dentist’s education, training, competence, and lawful scope of practice.
Use of Botox, dermal fillers, or other facial cosmetic procedures for isolated cosmetic purposes is not within the scope of a general dentist. The Dental Practice Act provides broader authority for dentists who hold the recognized specialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery, including treatment involving the functional and aesthetic aspects of the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region.
Texas dentists may attend MedAesthetics Training courses for education and continuing education credit. Dentist registration for Texas courses does not include performing injections on live models. Course participation, certification, or continuing education credit does not independently authorize a dentist to perform cosmetic facial injections or expand the dentist’s statutory scope of practice.

Who May Attend Texas Botox and Dermal Filler Training?
Texas Level I and Level II training, as well as focused masterclasses, are open to licensed physicians (MD/DO), physician assistants, nurse practitioners and APRNs, and registered nurses who hold an active professional license or other lawful authorization permitting hands-on participation in Texas. Texas dentists (DDS/DMD) may attend for education and continuing education credit; see the dentist guidance below regarding scope of practice.
For registered nurses, this may include a Texas nursing license or a valid multistate nursing privilege recognized under the Nurse Licensure Compact. APRNs, physician assistants, physicians, and dentists must independently satisfy the Texas licensure requirements applicable to their professions.
Eligibility to attend training and authority to provide injectable services after training are separate. Each participant remains responsible for satisfying the scope, assessment, prescribing, delegation, supervision, competency, and practice-setting requirements applicable to their professional license.

How MedAesthetics Training Verifies Every Attendee
Every registrant attests to, and MedAesthetics Training reviews, an active Texas professional license, a valid multistate nursing privilege, or another lawful authorization before hands-on participation is confirmed.
Preparing to Practice in Texas After Training
Effective January 9, 2025, the Texas Medical Board consolidated its rules on nonsurgical medical cosmetic procedures into 22 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 169 (§§169.25–169.28), replacing former §193.17. Under §169.25, nonsurgical medical cosmetic procedures—including botulinum toxin and dermal filler injections—are recognized as the practice of medicine in Texas and must be properly delegated and supervised.
Under §169.26, before a delegated act is performed, a physician, physician assistant, or APRN acting under physician delegation must establish the practitioner–patient relationship, create and maintain the patient’s medical record, and disclose who will perform the delegated act and that person’s credentials. A physician, physician assistant, or APRN must be onsite or immediately available for emergency consultation. If necessary, the physician must be able to conduct an emergency appointment with the patient. Under §169.27, delegation must be supported by written orders developed, reviewed, and approved by the delegating physician. Under §169.28, facilities must post the delegating physician’s name and the Texas Medical Board complaint notice, and personnel performing delegated acts must wear identification showing their name and credentials.
Course participation and authorization to practice are separate. Before providing injectable services, clinicians must satisfy the assessment, treatment-planning, prescribing, delegation, written-protocol, supervision, competency, documentation, and practice-setting requirements applicable to their professional licenses.
Assessment, Treatment Plan, and Supervision Under TMB Chapter 169
Under the Texas Medical Board’s delegation rules, 22 TAC §169.26, a physician, physician assistant, or APRN acting under physician delegation must establish and document the practitioner–patient relationship and treatment plan before another individual performs a delegated aesthetic procedure. The delegating physician must be appropriately trained in each procedure delegated and must approve written orders that identify the physician, establish patient-screening criteria, and address injuries, complications, and emergencies.
A physician, physician assistant, or APRN must be onsite or immediately available for emergency consultation. Facilities must post the delegating physician’s name and the Texas Medical Board complaint notice, and personnel performing delegated acts must wear identification showing their name and credentials.

Shadow at Any Point in Your Learning Journey
Shadowing does not have to wait until the end of your training. Once you are registered for or have completed a MedAesthetics Training course, you may participate in a private observational experience inside an active aesthetic practice.
Shadowing can be valuable before your first in-person course, after Level I, while preparing for advanced training, or after you have already begun practicing. Observe consultations, facial assessments, treatment planning, patient communication, documentation, clinical workflow, treatment-room decision-making, and the business side of aesthetic practice.
Continue Learning and Preparing for Practice
Supplemental resources can help reinforce training concepts and support clinicians as they prepare to incorporate aesthetic services into an appropriate clinical practice.
Facial Injection Manikin-Guided Training
Practice facial assessment, marking, injection patterns, angles, and depth in a safe, simulated environment. The self-instruction activity includes a facial manikin, simulated practice supplies, workbook, instructional video, assessment, and up to 2.00 AAFP Prescribed credits.
Injectable Supply Kit

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are Texas Botox and dermal filler courses held?
Texas Botox and Dermal Filler training courses are commonly offered in Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and El Paso, with additional locations added throughout the year. Not every city or region is available during every scheduling period, so participants should review the upcoming course schedule for currently available dates and locations.
Who may attend Texas Botox and dermal filler training?
Texas training is available to eligible physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, APRNs, and registered nurses who hold an active professional license or other lawful authorization permitting hands-on participation in Texas. Texas dentists may attend for didactic education, facial-manikin practice, and continuing dental education credit under the dentist participation policy described below. Course attendance and authority to practice after training are separate.
Can a registered nurse inject Botox and dermal filler in Texas?
Yes, under physician delegation. A Texas RN may perform cosmetic injectable procedures when appropriately trained and competent and operating under physician-approved written protocols or orders. Before treatment, a physician, physician assistant, or APRN acting under physician delegation must establish the practitioner-patient relationship and complete the required evaluation and medical record. A physician, physician assistant, or APRN must be onsite or immediately available for emergency consultation, and the physician must be able to conduct an emergency appointment if necessary. An RN may not independently diagnose, prescribe, or establish the medical treatment plan.
Are continuing education credits available?
Yes. Credit varies by course. AAFP Prescribed credit is available for eligible medical professionals, and dental CE hours are available through MedAesthetics Training’s AGD PACE provider approval. Current figures for every Texas course, together with the applicable approval terms and disclosures, are shown in the credit table on this page. Approval terms are also listed on each course page.
Can a nurse practitioner inject Botox and dermal filler in Texas?
Yes, within an authorized practice arrangement. A Texas APRN with prescriptive authority may assess patients, order treatment, and perform cosmetic injectables under a prescriptive authority agreement with a delegating physician. Texas does not offer independent practice for APRNs, so a current agreement must be in place. Requirements are set by the Texas Board of Nursing and the Texas Medical Board, and each APRN is responsible for confirming that their own agreement, facility, and documented competency cover the services they intend to provide.
Do you offer dental CE hours for Texas dentists?
Dental CE hours are available through MedAesthetics Training’s AGD PACE provider approval. Texas requires 24 continuing education hours every two years for dentists and dental hygienists and limits self-study to 8 of those hours (22 TAC §104.1). Texas names the Academy of General Dentistry and its approved sponsors among acceptable providers (22 TAC §104.2(e)(3)). Approval does not imply acceptance by any regulatory authority, so confirm with the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners how these hours apply to your own renewal.
Which course should a new injector take?
Level I Botox, Botulinum Toxin & Dermal Filler Training is the recommended starting point for licensed healthcare professionals who are new to aesthetic injectables or want structured foundational education.
Is this a Botox certification course?
MedAesthetics Training courses lead to a Certificate of Training upon successful completion. A Certificate of Training documents the education you completed; it is not a professional certification, license, or independent authorization to practice. Your ability to provide injectable services is determined by your professional license and Texas scope-of-practice requirements, not by course completion.
Can I participate in shadowing before completing Level I?
Yes. The shadowing experience is available to individuals who have completed or are currently registered for a MedAesthetics Training course. This allows a registered participant to shadow before attending the in-person course when scheduling permits.
Does the facial manikin activity replace live training?
No. Manikin-guided practice reinforces anatomy, facial marking, injection patterns, angles, and depth in a simulated environment, but it does not replace guided live-patient clinical training.
Are models, products and supplies provided?
MedAesthetics Training provides models, products, and supplies for the training experience.
May Texas dentists attend these cosmetic injectable courses?
Texas dentists may attend for education and continuing dental education credit. Course attendance and dental CE credit do not grant or expand a dentist’s authority to perform cosmetic facial injectable procedures. Texas defines dentistry by reference to the teeth, oral cavity, alveolar process, gums, jaws, and adjacent masticatory structures, and provides broader authority concerning facial cosmetic conditions to dentists who hold the recognized specialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Each dentist is responsible for confirming their individual scope of practice with the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners or qualified Texas counsel.
What if the course I want is not currently scheduled in Texas?
Course offerings vary throughout the year. Review the complete course schedule for other locations or contact us about future Texas dates.
Important Scope-of-Practice Information
Completion of training does not independently grant, expand, or determine a clinician’s legal scope of practice. Each participant remains responsible for satisfying all licensing, competency, supervision, delegation, written-protocol, prescriptive-authority, employment, and practice-setting requirements applicable to their professional license. State requirements may change, so participants should confirm current requirements with the appropriate licensing authority.
Disclaimer: The regulatory information on this page is provided for general educational purposes only and does not constitute legal, medical, or professional advice. It reflects MedAesthetics Training’s good-faith research and interpretation of publicly available Texas statutes, Texas Medical Board and Texas Board of Nursing rules, and related board guidance as of the date of publication. Laws, rules, board opinions, and their interpretation can change and may apply differently to individual circumstances. MedAesthetics Training does not guarantee that any procedure, practice arrangement, or credential will satisfy every applicable requirement. Before offering aesthetic services, each clinician is responsible for independently verifying current requirements with the appropriate licensing authority and, where appropriate, consulting qualified legal counsel.
