Hello Interloper!
Menu
We highly recommend that you only undergo injectable treatment (Botox or dermal fillers) with a medically-qualified trained professional, who will have undergone training in facial anatomy and physiology, as well as being accountable to a regulatory body such as the General Medical Council (GMC), Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) or General Dental Council (GDC).
They should also be able to advise you of the risks of injectable treatment and be confident in handling serious complications if they arise.
When selecting a medical practitioner to inject your botulinum toxin, it's important to keep these things in mind:
Does your injector have a medical background?
Does your injector offer face-to-face consultations where you can discuss your medical history and treatment plan?
Is the practitioner properly trained in cosmetic procedures; specifically botulinum toxin injections?
Are they an experienced injector? (Experience counts with injectables!)
Do they have experience in complication management?
Does the injector belong to an organisation that has strict guidelines and standards of care for its members?
Have they got good recommendations for their aesthetic treatments?
