The Naturopathic Medicine Committee is working on an update for the regulatory language for IV therapies to include injection specialties encompassing PRP, micro-needling, and other aesthetic procedures.  As of November 2020, the proposed text language is currently under legal review. While the routes of administration fall within our ND scope, most of the therapies offered need to include some additional training to ensure proper use of the modalities, especially since most of the treatments include facial and scalp areas.

Until then, anyone wishing to perform these procedures should make sure that they have the additional training for the treatments that they are interested in providing, such as PRP facials.  If a licensee wants to treat the scalp area in addition to the PRP facials, then they would need to ensure that they had training in the scalp application in addition to the facial application. There will be a grandfathering period for the IV therapy, however other advanced injection therapies will require proof of the additional training. 

The use of Botox/Juviderm or other filler product requiring pharmaceutical prescription would fall under the physician oversight agreement.
