Aesthetic NP Practice Authority
What an NP, PA, or RN entering aesthetic medicine in Arizona needs to know — sourced from the AANP State Practice Environment + the Arizona Board of Nursing.
Yes. Full practice authority — NPs may own and operate a medical practice independently.
No supervisory or collaborative agreement required for licensed NPs.
GFE required before first dose. Telehealth GFE is permitted. AZ Board of Cosmetology defers to AZ Board of Nursing for medical aesthetic services.
RNs may inject aesthetic medications (botulinum toxin, dermal fillers, fat-dissolving) under a valid prescriber order and approved protocol. Only PRESCRIBING requires a licensed NP/MD/DO. Verify with your board.
Free. 7 minutes. Returns a state-specific 90-day roadmap to opening your own aesthetic practice. Built by Faisal Darwiche, NP — 27 years, three practices, the Aesthetic Show faculty. The plan I'd hand my younger self.
