Choosing an aesthetic injector is an important decision which be a stressful process. There are many different ways to chose a cosmetic provider. Instead of relying on one source of information, I think it using several different sources can help you make this decision.
Personal referrals from a friend, a relative or a coworkers is a great, but you want to make sure you trust, and one who you have similar values .
Reviews from an independent source are also very helpful, but you want to make sure you read many of them. Look for reviews that discuss topics that are important to you. Almost every provider will have both positive and negative reviews. Reviews that are too good or too bad with little information have less than value.
Look at before and after photos of the procedures you are considering to have done. Observe the photos in details. Usually these can be found on social media and on their website. You can also ask to see more during your appointment.
Read about your provider’s history including years of experience, training, and personal statement. Hopefully, you will get a feel for how that provider practices. If you want more information, it’s okay to ask for more information and for more before and after photos before your an appointment.
Ideally, you want a provider who is a great listener, friendly but professional bedside manner, skills and favorite procedures. You also want a staff that is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Feel free to asks questions beforehand and at your appointment, but keep in mind some questions may only able to answered when you are evaluated. Pricing needs to be affordable, reasonable and not too high and not too low. You may need to spend more than you think, if the provider is recommending something a different procedure which is better for the results you desire.
I would recommend someone who isn’t too far away to be able to follow up with them if needed and to get future treatments. During your visit, your provider should be recommending a short and long term plan for you.
I prefer a provider who isn’t afraid to tell you no. No, this procedure will not get you the results you want or no I don’t think this will be best for you. Your provider should be someone you can trust in making decisions which are best for you, and not just best for their sales.
Take your time with the decision and be comfortable and confident with your decision. The experience should be exciting, comfortable and enjoyable.
