You should know who is treating you, how they trained and what happens if something needs putting right. Here is where I stand, in plain terms.
What should you check before choosing a practitioner?
Four questions are worth asking anyone who treats your face, including me. How and where did they train? Are they insured for the treatment you are having? Which products do they use, and where do they buy them? And what would they do if something did not go to plan? A good practitioner will be glad you asked.
Here are my answers.
Qualifications and training
- Foundation and advanced training in anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers
- Training in skin boosters, including Profhilo and Profhilo Structura
- Training in polynucleotides
- Training in microneedling
- Further courses
I am currently completing a Level 7 qualification in aesthetic injectables.
Level 7 sits at the same level as a master’s degree on the UK qualifications framework. I will update this page as soon as I have completed it.
Insurance
I am fully insured for every treatment I offer. If you would like to see my insurance certificate, ask me at your consultation. Insurance matters because it means there is cover in place if a treatment ever leads to a claim.
Registrations and memberships
If a practitioner tells you they are on a register or belong to a professional body, you can usually check it on that organisation’s website in a minute or two.
Which products do I use?
I only use products bought from UK pharmacy suppliers and approved for use in the UK. The name and batch number of what I use on you go into your treatment notes, and you are welcome to ask what they are. Products from regulated suppliers can be traced, so if there were ever a problem with a batch, it could be tracked back.
Consultation and consent
Before any treatment, we go through your medical history together and you sign a consent form. If I think a treatment is not right for you, I will tell you, and explain why. Anti-wrinkle injections always start with a face-to-face assessment before your treatment day.
First aid and complications
Being ready for the unexpected is part of the job. I hold first aid training and training in managing complications. Hyaluronidase, which can dissolve hyaluronic acid filler, is kept in the clinic in case it is ever needed.
After any treatment you have my number, and you can message me on WhatsApp if something does not feel right. If you ever want to raise a concern formally, my complaints page explains how.
