Dermal fillers, microneedling, thread lifts, chemical peels and profhilo are amongst the top 5 most popular facial aesthetic treatments for the better version of ourselves. However, it’s very important to choose an aesthetician with experience and proper training who can give proper and safe injections. You can be sure to get these service no matter where it is you may be based in the UK.
When considering undergoing an anaesthetic treatment, it can be a minefield in regards to choosing the right practitioner for you. There are some things to look out for when choosing an aesthetic clinic to have an anti-ageing or skincare treatment. This is such as looking to see what work they have done. Also have a look to see if they have also won awards too for their work.
Look over their qualifications to date on what they have done to date
Dermal fillers can be provided by literally anyone! This is currently an unregulated market. So it is totally legal to be done by anyone who fancies it – qualified or not. Here at Tweak we advise you go to a medically qualified professional. This can be a doctor, dentist or a nurse. This is important because botox and dermal fillers are medical grade procedures. They are not beauty treatments and can have serious complications if done by a novice injector.
A deep understanding of anatomy and material science is compulsory for any injector. Also, this simply cannot be learned effectively without a medical background. Although you can’t tell if someone is a good injector just by checking their qualifications. You know a medical professional will have the required knowledge. They will also have in place the appropriate registrations / insurance and the infection control to ensure a safe treatment.
You cannot buy in experience
Don’t be shy to ask how many times the injector has done lip fillers or botox before. You need to feel comfortable that you are in the hands of someone who is suitably experienced and usually a medical professional would have no problem answering these kinds of questions. You can also check their website and social media to give you an idea of how many cases they might have done and how long they have been practicing. Remember to be critical when looking at photos – watch out for edited photos or excessive filters.
Overall
You know when a personal interaction just does not feel right – you get that gut feeling don’t you? Don’t ignore this feeling just because you think you are visiting a professional for treatment. A good clinician should make you feel welcome and listen to your needs. They will also offer you advice and solutions that match up to your expectations. If you feel as though this is not the case – remember you can always decline treatment. Do not ever feel pressured into having treatment.
