We all get older, and signs of aging can’t always be prevented. Luckily, cosmetic injectables can help reverse some of the most common signs of aging, resulting in a more youthful and attractive appearance. Protect yourself by making sure you’re getting the real deal if you’re looking into dermal fillers:
Choose a Provider with a License
You should always start by looking for a plastic surgery or dermatology practice with a licensed professional performing injections. A Medical Doctor, Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant or Registered Nurse should be performing the procedure. There should be some sort of certification that you can verify online, but you can also call to ask for specifics. Only licensed professionals have the proper training to safely inject, and you can feel confident knowing that they only use legitimate injectables.
Get a Consultation First
After finding a licensed provider, it is a good idea to set up a consultation. During this meeting, you’ll be able to learn more about the procedure and ask any questions you have. You will learn what to expect when getting cosmetic injectables, what you will feel following the procedure, and how long you can expect your results to last. It is important to ask any questions you have about safety and care, so you know that you’re getting the real deal. Ask where the products are purchased and where they come from. It is illegal and dangerous to import dermal fillers and Botox from other countries and then inject them in the USA. This being said, there are several providers that do this to save money. Make sure your products are being ordered direct from the manufacturer here in the USA.
Make Sure the Product Has Non-Tamper Wrapping
If you will be getting any cosmetic injectables made by Allergan, such as BOTOX® or Juvederm®, it’s important to check the packaging before your procedure starts. All Allergan products come in non-tamper wrapping that should be fully intact before your procedure. You can also ask your surgeon or injectables provider for more details.
