Here is the thing, when it comes to anything related to your face you cannot afford to focus solely on saving money. Whether it is anti-wrinkle injections, fillers or skin treatments like Profhilo, the person who is injecting you is just as important as the product they are using. Nevertheless, there are still people who book aesthetic treatments without even thinking about the person who is going to perform the procedure.
Maybe it’s the price, maybe it’s the availability of a beauty salon that offers injectables together with manicure services. In any case, there are numerous accounts of people who have had botched procedures, adverse effects, and outcomes that look simply unnatural – all due to the fact that no one checked the qualifications of the professional.
If you are thinking of getting any facial aesthetic treatment, then the one decision you should make is who is going to perform the procedure.

It’s Your Face, Not A Trend
Aesthetic treatments are now more popular than ever. What used to be a secret way of touching up certain parts of the body is now widespread, with people posting their facial aesthetics experiences (and results!) online. But while that has helped in the removal of the stigma that came with non-surgical procedures, it has also led to a proliferation of quacks in the profession.
A good injector knows that every face is different. They are not just following the trends presented on Instagram—they are using the medical knowledge and the artistic vision to enhance your features. Because let’s be real, what might work for someone else’s face might not necessarily work for yours.
The best results are achieved by someone who will know how to harmonize your features and not just put in filler where it is most sought after.
Aesthetic Treatments Are Medical Procedures – Not Beauty Services
This is where many people fail. They consider anti-wrinkle injections or fillers as another facial, or a lash lift service – just another beauty treatment. It isn’t. Any time you are injecting something into your body there is always a risk. A qualified aesthetics practitioner, a practitioner who has a background in medicine, dentistry or nursing will know how to minimize these risks, and how to manage complications if they occur. Yes, things do happen. And when they do, you would want someone who is not going to panic because they have only done a weekend course.
Would you let someone who has no medical training perform a minor surgical procedure on your face? No? Then why would you let someone perform injectables?
The “Cheap Deals” Trap
We all like to get a deal but when you see a place giving treatments at half the price then you should ask yourself why. Are they using low quality products? Are they scheduling appointments closely so as to fit in a higher number of clients? Are they even qualified? Aesthetic treatments are not cheap for a reason. The products are of medical grade, the training is extensive and the best practitioners take their time to achieve the best results. If someone is providing a service that is ‘too good to be true’, then they are probably cutting corners in some way. However, it is a fact that fixing botched work is far more expensive than doing it the right way the first time around.
How To Tell A Good Aesthetics Practitioner From A Bad One
So, how do you actually find someone who knows what they’re doing? Here’s what to look for:
- Medical Qualifications – Only a doctor, dentist or a registered nurse with additional aesthetics training is allowed to perform the job. No exceptions.
- Experience – How long have they been doing aesthetic work? Do they do it as their primary work, or is it more of a side business?
- Before & After Photos – It is always important to request to see photos of their actual work. If the results look choppy, overdone, or just plain bad, then it’s time to look elsewhere.
- Reviews & Reputation – What are other clients saying? A good specialist will be well-known and have many returning customers.
- Consultation First – They should take time to explain the treatment to you and clearly understand your goals before even trying to convince you to get the treatment.
If someone does not meet these standards then you should not try to settle. There are many qualified professionals out there, you just need to take your time to search for them.
Final Thoughts: Do Not Try To Save On Your Face
Facial aesthetics can be an excellent way of boosting one’s self-esteem if done the right way. The last thing you would want is to regret a decision that was made in a hurry and turned out to be a mess or even worse, an accident. So take your time. Get a qualified specialist. Check if they know what they are doing. Because when it comes to your face, you should not settle for anything less than the best.
