Aesthetic NP Practice Authority
What an NP, PA, or RN entering aesthetic medicine in Delaware needs to know — sourced from the AANP State Practice Environment + the Delaware Board of Nursing.
Yes. Full practice authority — independent NP practice permitted.
No career-long collaborative requirement.
A good-faith exam by a licensed prescriber (NP/MD/DO) is required before initial aesthetic medication administration. Telehealth GFE is permitted in most states subject to state-specific rules.
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.
