Does your injector matter?

Injectables are a safe, minimally-invasive way to restore lost volume in areas of the face, improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve facial contour, when injected properly the result can be subtle without drawing unwanted attention and give a natural fresh appearance. However, when performed by an untrained or inexperienced injector, these treatments can backfire – changing your appearance in an unwanted way, costing more than they should, and even leading to medical complications that can be serious.

Who can perform facial injections? 

Today, plastic surgeons and dermatologists continue to be the most trusted providers of facial injections – but other physicians, as well as medical professionals PAC, NP, and RN, are also offering injections to their patients/clients.

Why does it matter? 

All of these professionals should undergo training to perform injections, but they still might not have the experience or knowledge to consistently achieve satisfactory results.

Performing facial injections is a delicate balance of science, your injection should have a complete understanding of facial anatomy and physiology and the ability to sculpt the face for a natural, balanced aesthetic result. In other words, a good eye for facial structure. An experienced professional might make it look simple – but performing injections well requires injectors to:

1. Determine whether or not you are a candidate for injections based on your medical history
2. Select the most appropriate product for your needs
3. Select the right dilution of that product for your needs
4. Determine the right amount of product to inject

Look for an injector who has experience, years, preferably. Ask your injector questions prior, soyou are comfortable with your decision. Don’t feel pressure to have any treatment if you are not comfortable with your decision. This should be a good experience and can improve your appearance and make you feel good about yourself.
