On the side, that is. Might be a good supplement to one's income. So I guess the question is: Is there training available in these procedures one can get so as to be able to perform such procedures.

a doctor from any specialty with the proper training can theoretically do botox. whether patients want to go to a radiologist for botox is up to them...

Yes it is possible.I know of anesthesiologists who do facial peels and physiatrists who do Botox.There are post grad courses which teach such procedures.You will need to convince your patients you are qualified,just make certain your malpractice insurance will cover you for doing them.
