Who Should Perform Facial Injectables?
With the growing popularity of Botox and dermal fillers, it seems like aesthetic injectables are available everywhere – from hair salons to medspas and even your friend’s living room. But while the convenience might be tempting, entrusting your appearance to an untrained or minimally trained injector can have serious consequences.
The Risks of Choosing an Inexperienced Provider
Cosmetic injectables are minimally invasive, in-office treatments that provide quick results with no downtime. However, don’t lose sight of the fact that they are medical procedures requiring in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy, precise techniques, and years of experience to ensure safe, natural-looking results.
Unfortunately, many people advertising Botox and filler services have only completed a weekend seminar, which barely scratches the surface of what it takes to deliver satisfying outcomes. When you get injectables performed by someone who is not a fully licensed or trained medical professional, the potential health and safety complications can be severe.
Product migration: Filler may spread to unintended areas, creating puffiness or distorted features.
Lumps and bumps: Improper injection depth or placement can cause nodules or uneven texture.
Asymmetry: Uneven filler distribution can make one side of your face look lopsided.
Partial facial paralysis: Misplaced Botox can weaken unintended muscles, resulting in drooping brows, crooked smiles, or difficulty expressing emotion.
Unnatural or “frozen” appearance: Poor technique with neuromodulators can leave your face looking overdone or expressionless.
Vascular occlusion: One of the most serious risks of filler injections occurs when a provider accidentally introduces the product into a blood vessel, blocking blood flow and potentially causing tissue death, blindness, or stroke. Symptoms include sudden severe pain, skin discoloration, and uncomfortable swelling. Vascular occlusion is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment to prevent long-term damage.
