It is getting very tough to decipher an expert from an imposter these days.  Sadly, there is no recognized certification or standard in this space - despite the claims, most injectors start treating patients after a weekend course.  The best advice is to seek out someone with the highest medical credentials and the most experience.  If delegated to a non physician, these procedures are meant to be overseen by an expert physician, who themselves do the procedures as a major part of the practice, and can handle complications should they arise.  That would be a dermatologist or plastic surgeon that performs injections themselves, or another physician that has gone through the process to change their scope of practice.

Ask yourself who is going to be there to support you in the rare instance you do have a more serious complication. We have had far too many patients come through our doors looking for support after complications from treatment at other clinics who were incapable of resolving the issues themselves.

We do not inject patients that are pregnant or even breastfeeding out of an abundance of caution, and lack of studies in this patient population.

Yes, when we give patients a treatment plan it is to try to address your goals in the most complete manner possible. We let you control how quickly you would like to achieve your goals. We do give suggestions on how our patients can stagger treatments while still achieving results.

No, when you stop treatment you are not worse off than when you started. This is mostly a misconception, but the logic of this thinking makes sense to us. When done properly there is no stretching of the skin or increased sagging and these other kinds of false assumptions associated with injectable treatments. 

Our properly designed treatments in fact prevent aging. When you stop treatment, you go on with your natural course and timeline of aging.

Temporary side effects like bruising, redness and swelling are to be expected when getting a filler treatment. Serious complications associated with injections are very rare at Dermetics and we work very hard to keep it that way. We do however get patients referred to us for complications that have occurred elsewhere.
