Your guide to making the right choice
Unfortunately, the UK Aesthetics industry is mostly under-regulated, which means that anyone can legally administer cosmetic injectable treatments with minimal or no training. This is why it is so important to make the right choice for you by choosing a qualified, experienced practitioner.
Affordability matters, although Aesthetic treatments are not where you should be looking for a bargain. Cheap treatments could mean compromise with low-quality products and service, lack of insurance, training and experience. Be sure to invest in a practitioner who puts your safety, best interests and natural-looking results first.
What to look for
-
Medical background and/or evidence of clinical training
-
Before-and-after photos of real clients/patients, not just glossy, unrealistic models
-
Clear, concise explanations of the proposed treatment, risks, downtime, and aftercare required
-
Meticulous standards of hygiene
What to avoid
-
Unrealistically cheap prices, pressure sales – don’t be rushed to commit
-
Practitioners offering treatments without consultations
-
Minimal or no medical training from a recognised institution such as a Medical School, Nursing School, Dental School, or Medical Aesthetics Institute.
-
Lack of transparency about qualifications or insurance cover
Finding the right practitioner:
-
Read Reviews - look for consistency in professionalism, results and aftercare.
-
Medical doctors/dentists/nurses should be registered on the GMC/GDC/NMC.
-
Ask for proof of qualifications awarded by a recognised Medical Training Institute.
-
Ask what brands or products do you use?
-
What happens if there’s a complication?
What is a good consultation:
-
Before you go ahead with any procedure, you should receive a detailed consultation (ideally
at least 15+ minutes) -
Your Practitioner should discuss your goals and medical history
-
They should give you honest advice about what can realistically be achieved
-
Do your research and take time to reflect before deciding
-
A trustworthy practitioner will never rush you or upsell treatments you don’t need.
