The best way to avoid this is by finding a reputable injector. Here are some of our tips 👇
It can feel hard finding an aesthetic practitioner, especially if you have fears about injectable treatments and the risks. We would always recommend seeing a medical professional if you can as they’ll be able to provide the safest procedure for you. This may sometimes mean paying a bit more than the cheaper package deals out there, but when it comes to the face if you’re able to, I think it’s always better to to spend that bit more for your safety and piece of mind. Also look out for the following:
👉 Firstly, make sure you check their credentials online. Check the GMC (doctors)/GDC (dentists)/NMC (nurses) register which should have all UK accredited doctors and nurses on their list. If you cannot find them on these, they may have trained abroad. Contact them to provide you their certification.
👉 Look at their before/afters. Some doctors will not have much online as their patients may not be comfortable sharing their faces. However, most patients are happy to share cropped photos. If you cannot see any of their work online, ask to see it in clinic when you go for a consultation.
👉 During a consultation, do they do a detailed assessment? Do they look at your face properly and listen to your concerns? Do they discuss the risks and likely side effects with you?
👉 Stay away from clinics that offer packages of fillers without assessing how much your face actually needs.
👉 What is their follow up policy? Are they easy to get hold of should there be a problem.
👉 Ask what products they use and check it is a reputable pharmaceutical grade brand.
