When considering a non-surgical procedure, choosing the right cosmetic injector is crucial. There are many things to consider before booking a consultation, but how do you know if your cosmetic injector is the “right injector”? Dr. Stephen Bracci, founder of VERVE Medical Cosmetics, has the top 10 tips on how to choose the right aesthetic provider.
Top 10 Tips on Choosing the Right Cosmetic Dermal Filler Injector
- Assess if injectables are the main focus of the injector’s work week, preferably being their only task. Proficiency in injectables and keeping up with the latest trends is difficult if they also work full time in other medical specialties.
- Confirm that they use a wide range of injectables and dermal fillers, not just limited to certain products. They should have experience with various materials like Hyaluronic Acid, Juvéderm, Botox, Voluma, Belotero, Versa, and more importantly, Calcium Hydroxyapatite (Radiesse), and Sculptra (PLLA).
- Ensure they are skilled in treating the entire facial anatomy, paying attention to facial aesthetics. The most difficult area to treat by far is the forehead, between the eyes, under-eye, mid-face, lateral cheekbones, nose, nasolabial folds, lips, jawline, chin, under the jawline, neck, and décolleté.
- Seek out injectors who primarily use a cannula due to its precision and reduced likelihood of causing bruising, though needles may be necessary for certain cosmetic treatments.
- Look for signs of expertise and comfort in their cosmetic injectable treatments, typically evident through the efficiency of their cosmetic injections.
- Choose an injector who answers all your questions thoroughly and demonstrates experience.
- Inquire about their policy for touch-up treatments. Many clients opt for results-oriented procedures, which should include a follow-up visit or treatment plan.
- If the provider is a nurse practitioner, PA, or RN ask who their supervising physician is. It is important to know the supervising physician’s experience and qualification with injectables.
- Be wary of exceptionally low prices that are significantly lower than the average in your area. Though a lower price point may seem more enticing, the price you pay for an educated, experienced injector will be the better route every time.
- The most important factor is reviewing an extensive portfolio of before-and-after photos that align with your aesthetic preferences. Verify that these photos are of actual patients treated by the injector that you’ll be seeing when you visit your medical spa.
