Cosmetic Procedures
When engaging in the provision of cosmetic procedures, RNs/NPs must be aware of their practice expectations and must be able to determine if they have the necessary education, authorization, and competence in order to safely perform the cosmetic procedure and manage the outcomes of care. This practice guideline addresses practice expectations and considerations for RNs/NPs when engaging in cosmetic procedures. Cosmetic procedures may include, but are not limited to, treatments such as fillers, volume enhancers, collagen stimulators, microneedling, lipolysis, and neuromodulators such as Botox.
