Injectable Safety

Posted by Brook at 1:38 pm

Find the best doctor for your injectable treatment!Ask any fan of injectables which one is their favorite, and you will surely get an enthusiastic answer. Botox ®, Restylane ®, Radiesse ®, Juvederm ™ …each one boasts a legion of devoted followers.

Considering Beauty Chat was born from iEnhance.com, a leading plastic surgery resource, I thought I’d offer you some tips for safe injectable treatment!

1) Ask about the doctor: The dermatologist or cosmetic surgery professional you are visiting should be qualified to administer the injections. Therefore, asking if he or she will be the one to inject you with your preferred treatment is a good question to ask. If the answer is a “no,” your next step is asking, “Who will be injecting me, and what are their qualifications?”

2) Ask about the brand: According to the Physicians Coalition for Injectable Safety, if your provider offers you a “generic” or cheaper version of the injectable you have selected, “You should refuse.” “There are no less costly alternatives proven safe or effective.” Another excellent way to assert your right to safety is asking to see the packaging, so that you can verify the brand name yourself. After all, this is your face!

3) Ask about safety: Because all facial injectables are not created equal, asking about potential risks and side effects should be a top priority. If you decide that the risks with any one product outweigh its benefits, don’t despair – you can always continue researching your options until you find the injectable that is right for you! ;)

    I have to admit that needles aren’t my friends. Now that I’m turning 45, I’m not happy with wrinkles. Thanks for the good advice!

    Hi Chic Girl,
    I completely understand your apprehension. I am not a fan of needles either, but now that I’m officially in my 30′s, I have really begun to research the options that are available. Until then, I’m sticking to the topical treatments that have worked for me in the past. Stay tuned until next week to read about product I’m loving right now!

    I am only 29 Professor and I hated needles as a child. I would literally cry when I saw the site of needles. But my mother got me a gift certificate at a medical spa in Beverly Hills and I had no clue on what procedure to use the gift on and I knew that the spa specialized in Botox, so I put my childhood fears aside and went ahead and got the injection done. I won’t I didn’t feel the needle going in me, but it did not hurt one bit and I have scheduled my second appointment to fill my gift card up. Try calling Dr. Simon Ourian and be sure to request him because he’s fantastic and if you have any question call their hotline and just ask them any questions you’d like. I think the number is (877)444-0918. Let me know how it goes.
