Hello Interloper!

Whilst an experienced dentist or doctor may be qualified to administer injectable treatments, it’s also wise to seek a practitioner who has excellent knowledge of aesthetics. They should take the time to understand your goals and explain the best course of treatment for you.
It’s also essential that your practitioner makes you aware of any risks involved and understands how to manage complications. They should have the ability to prescribe medication in case it’s needed. A&Es are not prepared to deal with the most severe complications caused by dermal fillers.
Do your research before you take the plunge. A reputable practitioner will be happy to prove their qualifications and will often be registered with an accrediting body, such as the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP). Your practitioner should also be fully insured, another thing they won’t be afraid to show you should you ask to see proof.
