A licensed nurse or Family Nurse Practitioner with specialty training and certification will arrive to do in-home treatment of Botox or dermal fillers. Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines and soften creases, or enhance facial contours. Botulinum toxin type A is an injectable neurotoxin, better known under brand names such as Botox. Neurotoxin treatments are the most popular single cosmetic procedure in the U.S. and are mainly used to smooth dynamic wrinkles, or those wrinkles that form as a result of facial movements like frowning, squinting, smiling, and other expressions we tend to make day after day.

The skin is the largest organ of the body, protecting us from disease and harm, regulating body temperature, and enhancing touch sensations. Skin disease in the United States costs over $75 billion annually in treatments. The number of dermatology nurse practitioners (NPs) is rapidly rising. Whether it’s treating skin cancer or performing Botox injections, dermatology NPs are the experts in skin, hair, and nails.

Dermatology NPs care for everyone from youth to seniors. They provide care and guidance during a time when you need a little TLC, such as severe acne or skin cancer.
