Choosing a Practitioner

Trust and confidence are important

Choosing the right clinic and practitioner is about placing your trust in someone to achieve the look you want. Hopefully it will be a relationship you’d like to continue, so make sure you’re 100% confident with your choice before you proceed.

Choosing the right practitioner

Anti-wrinkle treatment requires skill and attention to detail, so it’s important you find someone appropriately and medically qualified by your country’s legislation. In particular, he or she should have had specialist training and experience in specific anti-ageing treatment techniques. Consult a practitioner register for your area before undergoing treatment.

What to look out for in a clinic and practitioner:

Initial consultation - Reputable practitioners will always offer you a pre-treatment consultation to discuss your needs, wants and expectations. They will also ask about your medical history and help you understand what to expect if you decide to go ahead with treatment.

Environment - It makes sense that the clinic should be hygienic and comfortable. This is not something you can compromise, so ask to see the treatment room if you are not shown around. Watch out for ‘treatment parties’ or any environment where peer pressure is encouraged.

Aftercare - A professional practitioner should offer you advice about how to take care of your skin immediately following treatment. It is good practice to give you an emergency telephone number to call should you have any subsequent worries when you get home.

Instinct - Always listen to your feelings about the clinic you are considering, as instinctive trust is key to a successful patient/practitioner relationship.
