Choosing Your Aesthetic Practitioner

When it comes to aesthetic treatments, choosing your aesthetic practitioner is crucial. The right practitioner can help you achieve your desired results, while the wrong one can leave you with unsatisfactory outcomes or even complications. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the key factors to consider when choosing an aesthetic practitioner.

Credentials and Experience

The first thing to consider when choosing an aesthetic practitioner is their credentials and experience. Look for a licensed and trained practitioner in the specific treatment you’re interested in. For example, if you’re considering Botox injections, look for a practitioner trained and experienced in administering Botox.

In addition to their credentials, it’s also important to consider the practitioner’s experience. How long have they been practising? How many patients have they treated with the specific procedure you’re interested in? An experienced practitioner will better understand the nuances of the treatment and be better equipped to help you achieve your desired results.

I am an NMC registered nurse who started my aesthetic journey in 2016. Since then, I have completed numerous hands-on training courses on cosmetic injectables and skin rejuvenation to keep up with the latest trends and best injecting techniques.

Consultation

Before undergoing any aesthetic treatment, it’s crucial to have a thorough consultation with the practitioner. During the consultation, the practitioner should listen to your concerns and goals and provide a detailed treatment plan. They should also discuss the risks and benefits of the treatment, as well as any potential side effects or complications.

It’s important to feel comfortable asking the practitioner any questions you may have during the consultation. A good practitioner will take the time to answer your questions and address any concerns you may have. If you feel uncomfortable with the practitioner during the consultation, it may be a sign that they’re not the right fit for you.

The aesthetic consultation is one of the most critical parts of your appointment. I take my time to understand your aesthetic skin goals and medical history before discussing treatment options, answering all your questions and agreeing on a plan with you.

Before and After Photos

One of the best ways to evaluate a practitioner’s work is to review before and after photos of their previous patients. This will give you a better idea of the results you can expect from the practitioner. When reviewing before and after photos, pay attention to the details. Are the results natural-looking? Are there any visible complications or side effects?
Remember that every patient is different, and your results may vary. However, reviewing before and after photos can help you better understand the practitioner’s work and whether they’re the right fit for you.

I keep my website and social media pages up to date with recent examples of my work, and I am always happy to discuss similar client cases with you before you decide to proceed with treatment.

Comfort and Trust

Finally, it’s essential to choose a practitioner you feel comfortable with and trust. Aesthetic treatments can be a vulnerable experience, and feeling at ease with the practitioner is vital. Trust your instincts when choosing a practitioner. If something doesn’t feel right, it may be a sign that they’re not the right fit for you.

All my appointments start with a free consultation. We can discuss options, allowing you to make an informed treatment decision. You won’t have to pay a fee if you decide it’s not the right fit. However, I have built a great relationship with all my patients, who now trust me to administer their aesthetic treatments.
