Real things my aesthetics patients have said to me⦠and the honest answers behind them.
Firstlyβ¦ thereβs no such thing as a silly question in aesthetics. Treatments can be confusing, especially with so much information (and misinformation) online.
Working in medical aesthetics, you hear some interesting questionsβ¦ so letβs clear a few things up ππΌ
πΈ βBut Iβd like to look like this influencer.β
Every face is different. Treatments like lip filler and anti-wrinkle injections are always tailored to your anatomy for balanced, natural results.
πΈ βAnother clinicβs prices are way lower.β
Pricing often reflects product quality, practitioner training, insurance and medical safety standards. In aesthetics, youβre paying for expertise and safety.
π² βI saw this trend online, can you do this?β
Not every viral treatment is safe or suitable. A good practitioner will always prioritise facial harmony and patient safety over social media trends.
π βCan me and my friend share 1ml?β
No. Dermal filler syringes are single-use only and must never be shared for hygiene and safety reasons.
π βIβm getting married tomorrow so please donβt bruise me.β
Bruising is always a possibility with injectables, which is why reputable clinics recommend treatments 2β4 weeks before important events.
π¨οΈ βI live in England, why would I wear SPF?β
UV rays are present all year round, even on cloudy days. SPF helps prevent premature ageing and pigmentation.
βοΈ βWill treatments still work if I use sunbeds?β
Sunbeds accelerate collagen breakdown and skin ageing, which will always counteract treatment results.
A good aesthetics practitioner will prioritise education, honest advice and natural-looking results, not just saying yes to everything.
If you ever have questions about dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle injections or medical-grade skincare, always ask. The right clinic will take the time to explain π¬
