Prescriptive authority
The legal authority granted to certain licensed providers to prescribe medications, including prescription aesthetic products like neurotoxins.
Why it matters
Whether a provider has prescriptive authority affects whether they may independently order and administer prescription products; this varies by license type and state.
State variation
How Prescriptive authority applies can differ by state, provider credentials, and the treatments offered. NOVI’s state pages summarize the considerations for Texas, Florida, and California — but always confirm current rules for your jurisdiction with official sources.
