Who can inject and prescribe in CA? Getting the rules straight
Trying to understand the regulatory setup before I start offering injectables. What are the rules where we are?

In Canada, scope and delegation are regulated provincially — botulinum toxin is prescription-only and you need an appropriate prescriber and medical directive/authorization for your province. Follow your provincial college (e.g. CPSO, CNO). Minimum age is set provincially — confirm your province's requirements. Botulinum toxin and most fillers are prescription-only / regulated products — make sure the paperwork (prescriber, order, records) is right before anyone is injected. When in doubt, check directly with your regulator rather than copying what a course in another country taught.
This is the part people get wrong when they train abroad — the clinical technique travels, the regulatory model does not. Confirm it locally.
