:: Choosing Your Injector

When you are choosing a person or a site to have your injection treatments, there are certain qualifications of which you must be aware.

These procedures should only be performed by trained professional medical technicians, i.e., a physician or a nurse, who have an in-depth knowledge about facial anatomy, the chemical composition of the product, various injection techniques and the ability to treat or recognize any complications that may arise.

If you are receiving a treatment from an aesthetic nurse specialist, she must be under the direction of a physician who is also trained to do these procedures. Ask about their medical education and where they have been trained to do the injection procedures. Are they maintaining this training by attending annual update courses?

These treatments should be done in a clean, clinical environment by someone who can recognize the importance of sterile techniques.
