Choosing an Aesthetics Practitioner

It’s not simple, as with everything there is a dizzying choice out there. Whether you’ve had treatments before or are thinking about trying beauty treatments for the first time, making a decision can be intimidating. 

So to help you choose, before you choose, here are some key points to consider:

1. Find Out What is Possible – you need to find out about the treatment you are considering. We can advise, we are more than happy to do so. There is detailed information on this site but knowing more will build your confidence. The NHS website has excellent information covering many of the treatments we offer: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/cosmetic-procedures/
2. Only Use Trained Practitioners – it should go without saying. But, at present, anyone can call themselves an aesthetics practitioner. If mis-used or mis-applied, the results of a botched treatment can be disastrous. All our treatment staff are nurse trained and registered with the Royal College of Nursing and the The Nursing and Midwifery Council. We have over a decade of experience within the industry and pride ourselves on our excellent track record and professionalism.
3. Are the Premises Right? – again, this should go without saying. These are clinical treatments - they should take place in a clinic. You might wish to avoid premises without the correct facilities and equipment or space.
4. Be Sure You’re Protected - no reputable practitioner should ever be operating without appropriate insurance.  Don’t be shy about asking for evidence. If they are evasive, you should be looking elsewhere.
5. Look for a Specialist - no one can be an expert on everything. Look for a practice which focusses specifically on medical aesthetics.
6. Ask About Aftercare - expecially for your first treatment. You need to know that your practitioner cares about you and your experience after your treatment.
7. Don’t Be Tempted by a ‘Bargain’ - quality treatments are not cheap, there are many cut-price treatments and serums out there. But, as with practitioners, there are few controls as to their quality. At Casafia we only use the best, branded fillers and treatments - we are confident our materials will never let you down.
8. Look for Reviews - the results of medical aesthetics treatments really can be terrific - happy clients will want to let the world know (check out some of ours at the foot of this page). If you cannot find out what people are saying about a practitioner, it may be an indication that you should be looking for another.
9. Seek a Consultation – any confident, competent practitioner should be pleased to offer you advice and consultation. As well as helping you understand your options and potential treatments, a consultation should help you feel at ease with your decisions and your practitioner.
