One place (not only way) is http://www.Botoxmedical.Com/helpful-resources/find-a-doctor/. We all have to learn & train somewhere. You'd just rather not be the one we train on if there's no supervision. During residency, there's always someone background. In private office . .

Safer than aspirin : Botox is probably safer than Aspirin which can be associated with bleeding and ulcers. While Botox or any other botulinum toxin such as Dysport or xeomin (incobotulinumtoxin a) do have risks, they have an excellent safety profile when administered by experienced individuals in good candidates.

Yes: Botox is very safe if injected by an experienced practitioner. Best if injected by a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon or other specialist in facial cosmetic surgery. Ask the doctor where they trained to do botox, how many patients treated, any complications. Avoid practitioners who learned from a weekend course. Many nurses are doing this procedure many without proper supervision.
