How To Choose Your Injector
While you are considering starting botox and/or filler treatments naturally the next question is, where do I go? If you are searching,”best injector near me” let us explain what makes up an amazing injector.
Obviously product selection is absolutely one of the most important factors in great filler outcomes but the person holding that syringe is even more important. It is the injector that will choose the appropriate products to use in your face. Injectable facial anatomy is not “one size fits all” and it should not be approached with that type of attitude. At A Fine Line Aesthetics our injector is very specific with her treatment planning and is sure to educate all of her patients on what she is choosing and why.
So what are the things to look for in an injector? First, experience is exceptionally important. It is true that we all start somewhere and at some point we were all new at what we do but when it comes to injectable therapies experience does matter. The more faces your injector has touched the more comfortable they become with various techniques, different instruments as well as different products. What many people do not know is that there are so many different types of fillers and they are each made for very specific purposes. It is up to the injector to decide what filler is most appropriate for the area being injecting as well as the goal being worked toward. Some fillers are more flexible than others, some are more lifting than others and some have different characteristics that dictate exactly where they can and cannot go. An experienced injector has likely worked will all types of fillers for a long enough time to determine what they feel will most suitable for the specified goals. At A Fine Line Aesthetics our injector has been injecting for nearly a decade and was working in the industry for 19 years. She has been fortunate enough to witness the growth and evolution of this amazing and robust industry from day one. Having had the opportunity to witness the use of the very first filler to the rapid growth and development of multiple portfolios has afforded her the ability to quickly identify characteristics of fillers that she loves and characteristics that she may not favor as much.
In addition to experience, ongoing training and education is exceptionally important. As medicine, as well as aesthetic medicine in specific, rapidly evolves you want to be sure that your injector remains up to date with the changes and additions to current options. Some changes may be amazing and some trends may need to be avoided but it is important that your injector remains active within their industry to ensure that they are offering the best, most up to date options. At A Fine Line Aesthetics there is no doubt that you are in a safe space for the best treatments in the safest methods.
Another consideration when searching for your injector is, what qualifies them to even be doing this type of work? Are they simply a businessman/businesswoman looking to profit off of your vulnerabilities? Are they just looking for a side gig to make some extra cash so they offer you and your friends private home based parties? Or are they a medical professional who dedicates their time, resources and entire profession to the absolute best outcomes for people like you? At A Fine Line Aesthetics you will only find professionals who are dedicated to this industry and to exceeding your expectations. We are dedicated to excellence and that is our full-time commitment. Your injector should be a Registered Nurse, Nurse Practitioner, Physician Associate or Physician. They should have had extensive training before they even pick up their first syringe. You should ask what their training was as well as in what specialty. At A Fine Line Aesthetics your injector has been in the Plastic Surgery industry since 2003. She has been submerged in all things Aesthetic for 19 years and is able to navigate seamlessly through skincare, facial fillers, neurotoxins, bio-stimulators, non-surgical services as well as surgical consultation and planning. We are proud to be able to offer the most extensive and comprehensive care possible in the aesthetic setting. We are blessed to be partnered with a double board certified Plastic Surgeon which gives us access to only the best options within the aesthetic world.
When you have found what qualifies your injector, ask then what specialty their training comes from. Because there is little to no regulation of medical practice, it seems that medical professionals from all specialties have been rushing to join this industry. Unfortunately, although our industry is exciting and it attracts many, that is not always a good thing. When thinking about aesthetic services, we must remember where they started. Cosmetic surgery, and eventually non-surgical treatments, evolved from the specialty of plastic surgery. It is the plastic surgeons who were able to innovate treatments and therapies that have ultimately turned into the most sought after luxuries around. Although it is a discipline of medicine that is so specific, many other specialties have now incorporated aesthetic services into their practices. While many amazing injectors are not from the Plastic Surgery industry they have likely sought out great training. So always ask about training history and ongoing education.
We hope that this has helped and we are happy to guide you through your journey if you decide to give us a visit!
