There are different kinds of doctors who would be able to administer botox injections. Although they would generally have similar medical backgrounds, the kind of experience and qualifications would differ. Cosmetic dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons, and facial plastic surgeons, skin surgeons are all qualified to administer botox injections along with a host of other cosmetic treatments and procedures. Dermatologists are doctors who have completed at least 12 years of education in the collegiate and post-graduate levels that include formal residency training in dermatology. These specialists earn their designation through a board certification exam. Cosmetic surgeons and facial plastic surgeons all have more specialized training and educational credentials on top of those of dermatologists as well as certifications with recognized medical board organizations and specialized medical associations that allow them to practice in or set up their own San Francisco Botox clinics or other cosmetic surgery clinics anywhere else in the United States.
