Before taking advantage of an injection session with a practitioner, it’s important to pay attention to several points to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

When properly performed, filler injections can add years to your face. Unfortunately, the opposite is also true, with the risk of looking older.

Fortunately, it’s very easy to spot the “red alerts” that indicate a bad injection.

• The room is not clean

It may seem indisputable, but your practitioner should be very clean. Needle sterility, room cleanliness and surfaces must be clean.

• The injector is not a doctor

Injectors must be doctors and undergo specific training to ensure the best results.

• The practitioner has a single injectable reference

The choice of product depends not only on the area to be injected, but also on the expected result. To achieve this, the practitioner must have a number of filling product references to address several of your concerns.

• The practitioner does not specialize in filler injections.

Like an unlicensed injector, doctors who don’t specialize in injections may not have the experience to inject to your specifications, risking a disappointing result.

• The practitioner doesn’t take his time

A good injector will spend time with you discussing your concerns and goals, but an excellent injector will plan not just today’s injection, but an upstream treatment plan. A treatment plan that includes future or sequential injections, services (peels, tensor threads…) or cosmetic product recommendations.
