Why this page exists
Not as advertising for myself – but because well-informed patients make better decisions, no matter who treats them. These criteria apply everywhere.
Questions you should ask
- Who performs the treatment? A physician? With what training in aesthetic medicine? You are entitled to ask about certificates and further training – reputable practitioners are happy to show them.
- Is there a real consultation? With medical history, facial analysis and an honest assessment – or does it go straight to the syringe?
- Which product is used? The brand name and manufacturer should be stated openly. Sealed products, opened in front of you, are the standard.
- What happens in the event of complications? Is the practitioner trained for this and reachable afterwards? Is hyaluronidase available on site?
- Are you ever told no? Anyone who performs every requested treatment immediately is not advising you – they are selling.
Red flags
- Strikingly low prices with no explicable basis
- Time pressure, promotional offers, „today only“ discounts on medical procedures
- No information about the product or the practitioner's qualifications
- Treatment without medical history and without proper explanation of risks
- Promises such as „guaranteed“, „risk-free“ or „perfect“ – such words do not exist in medicine
The most important point
Trust your instinct during the conversation. You should feel understood – not persuaded.
