When seeking cosmetic services one must be mindful that procedures such as laser treatments, Botox and filler injections are medical procedures and not simply esthetic ones. What does this mean?
The treatments can effect the health and welfare of not only your skin, but your body as a whole and therefore should be performed by the highest trained medical professional possible. A decision about what procedures to have performedshould be made with a concern for safety first and not be sales motivated.
The difference between a medical professional and a cosmetic or esthetic sales person (aside from level of training), is that the former should be your ally in having your health and welfare at interest, whereas the latter usually has as his or her interest in selling you something.
I have also stressed the importance of options. The facility and professional you consider for cosmetic procedures should provide you with a discussion about which treatments are appropriate for you, even if some are not provided in that facility, the cost, risks, benefits and possible outcomes of the various treatments which may be appropriate for you and what recourse you would have if your treatments were are unsatisfactory.
