There are so many cosmetic clinics to choose from these days. So how do you find one that is going to deliver the results that you are looking for?
Start by doing your research. It is important to remember that cosmetic injectables are a medical procedure, so you are looking for a clinic that has highly skilled and qualified staff, look clinically clean and maintains strict health and safety standards.
In Australia only medical professionals including Doctors, Registered Nurses, Nurse Practitioners and Dentists are legally allowed to perform cosmetic injectables. So before you look any further, first look at the injectors qualifications. You can also do a search of their name of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) to check that their registration and qualifications are current.
It is also important to determine the level of expertise of the practitioner and the staff of the cosmetic clinic. Reviews are important however they should only be on third party review sites such as google as in Australia it is illegal to have reviews on any websites or social media sites that are run by the clinic.
To develop a long term relationship with your cosmetic clinic it is helpful to know how long the clinic has been in operation. Not only that, do they look like they do a lot of aesthetic treatments or does it look like they spend more time on lasers or surgery.
When looking at the clinic’s before and after photos make sure you are looking at real photos and not photoshopped or filtered photos. Any medical photos should not be altered. Also look for results in photos that are similar to your age group and the results that you are looking for.
Cost of treatments is obviously a very important factor, however try not to focus too much on the pricing. Sometimes the cheaper options don’t always work out the best, both aesthetically and in terms of longevity. Your practitioner will work closely with you to determine the best products and placement of those products for the best treatment outcomes.
A good Cosmetic Clinic will offer pre procedure consultations (free at Enhance Cosmetic Injectables). This should be in a calm environment with no time constraints. A consultation involves discussion of your goals, assessing your needs and answering any questions you may have. The various options for treatment will be discussed and how the procedures and products work, including possible side effects.
If you do get to the stage of having a consultation with a qualified practitioner ask yourself if you feel comfortable with that person. Did they answer all of your questions adequately? Did you feel listened to? Did you feel comfortable both in the clinic and with the staff in the clinic? Most importantly did you feel that you would be well looked after before, during and after your treatment?
The Cosmetic Clinic that you choose will ultimately be a clinic that is dedicated to providing a safe and comfortable experience delivered by qualified staff and adhering to Australian health standards.
