Choosing a safe place to have Botox, dermal fillers, and injectable treatments

Regulation in the cosmetic treatment industry is sparse, making it very difficult for people who want beauty treatment to know where to go. You have to go to a place that is safe, and where there is a qualified doctor, who really should have a good understanding of facial anatomy and skin. Fortunately there are many places that offer these treatments, whether it be at beauticians, dentists or doctors.

So is it better to go to a doctor? Well, it is recommended that health professionals, such as doctors, dentists and nurses, who have had adequate training in these treatments, and who use reliable and safe products, perform these aesthetic treatments, especially injectable treatments.

Do your research! Consult all the information of the place where you are going to carry out your treatment, before going. Whether you’re checking your reputation online, on internet forums, or by word of mouth.

• Take a look at the qualifications of the intern.
• Always make sure that the place where you are going to receive the treatment is clean.
• Avoid gimmicks like two for the price of one or introduce a friend and get a discount.
• The cheapest is not always the best. Remember, you are getting products injected into your face, so choose wisely!
• Check out their before and after photos and see what results they achieve.

Botox is the number one cosmetic procedure in the world, with number two being dermal fillers.

botox

Botox alleviates the lines and wrinkles that appear on the face through repetitive facial movements that etch them into the face. People worry that Botox injections will result in a frozen, plastic-looking face, but that only happens when too much product is injected. If less botox is injected, it will soften the lines, but leave you with natural facial expressions.

A consultation before any treatment is where you can discuss exactly what you do and how you don’t want to look after your treatment.

dermal fillers

Dermal fillers add volume to the cheeks, tears under the eyes, in the jawline, and to plump up the lips. Again, people worry about trout pouts and puffy pillow faces that occur when too much filler is injected, and the same rule applies, as with botox, let your doctor know what you want and don’t want during the query. Less is always more!

Continuity is always a good idea. If you’re getting botox, fillers, or any treatment where you come back for top-ups and more treatments, it’s wise to use the same professional who knows what you want, what you hope to achieve, and who knows your face.
