Botox & Dermal Fillers at Selston Cosmetic Clinic - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As cosmetic procedures become cheaper and more easily accessible, the more people are turning to botox and dermal fillers in a bid to look younger. But how do you know if what you're buying is the right product, or if it's being carried out by the right person.

Regulation in the cosmetic treatment industry is scant, making it very hard for people who want beauty treatments to know where to go. You want to go somewhere safe and where there's a qualified practitioner, and there are many places that offer these treatments, whether it's at a beauticians, dentists or doctors.

Botox - before and after

So, is it better to go with a doctor? Well, it's advisable that any cosmetic treatments, especially injectable procedures, are carried out by healthcare professionals, such as doctors, dentists and nurses, who have had the correct training in these procedures and use reputable and safe products.

Do your research. Check out all the information on the place where you're having your treatment, before you go. Whether you're checking out its reputation online, on internet forums or by word of mouth.

• Check out the qualifications of the practitioner.
• Always make sure the place you go to have treatment is clean. 
• Avoid gimmicks, like: two for the price of one or introduce a friend and get a discount.
• Cheapest isn't always the best. Remember, you are having products injected into your face, choose wisely!
• Check out their before and after photos and see what results they achieve.

Botox is the number one cosmetic procedure in the world, and number two is dermal fillers.

Botox eases the lines and wrinkles that appear on the face through repetitive facial movements, that etch them into the face. People worry that botox injections will result in a frozen, plastic looking face, but that only happens when too much of the product is injected. If less botox gets injected, it will smooth out the lines, but leave you with natural facial expressions. Before any treatment, you will have a consultation with the doctor, and you can discuss exactly what you do, and what you don't want to look like following your treatment.

Tear troughs - before and after dermal filler

We use dermal fillers to add volume to the cheeks, to the tear troughs under the eyes, at the jaw line and to plump up the lips. Again, people worry about trout pouts and puffy pillow faces that happen when too much filler is injected, and the same rule applies as with the botox, let your doctor know what you do and don't want during the consultation. Less is always more!

Continuity is always a good idea. If you are having botox, fillers or any treatment where you go back for top up's and additional treatments, it's wise to use the same practitioner who knows what you want, what you are hoping to achieve and who knows your face!
