Take responsibility for your treatment.

What is an Aesthetic Practioner?

An Aesthetic Practioner has undertaken specific training to deliver treatments which may involve the piercing of the skin to inject products or devices.

  Injectable products like Dermal Fillers, Botulinum Toxin (Botox) or

 Vitamin Drips or the insertion of PDO or COG Threads

  Surface Skin Treatment which require a high degree of training and

understanding of anatomy for client safety.

 Examples would be Permanent Makeup, Microblading, Chemical Peels & Laser Treatments.

Treatment which involve heat or cold using equipment. 

 The insertion of devices into the skin for rejuvenation, PDO & Cog Threads.

If its cheap its cheap for a reason

Don't have treatment done because its the cheapest, your Practioner may not be using

legal or safe products, or be insured

How to choose a practitioner?  In this social media age where images play such a strong influential role in decision making its easy to be seduced into booking an appointment from what you see, but you are not seeing your face so results will vary.

Just because your Practioner has a medical qualification doesn't mean they will be trained to a high standard in Aesthetics, many do an afternoons course before starting to practice.

They may be wonderful medics but not so good at Aesthetics.  A medical or nursing degree does not necessarily equip a Practioner with the skills to deliver satisfactory or safe treatment.

You may chose to have a Beauty Therapist do your treatment.  A Beauty Therapist is not an Aesthetic Practioner.

Whilst they may be excellent at Beauty Therapy they may lack the underpinning knowledge to carry out treatment or rectify an emergency situation.

 Be cautious of treatment in an non-clinical environment.

 Ask Questions. Read reviews. Have a free consultation.

Don't just book on Price.
