Consultation
Reputable practitioners will offer you a consultation prior to your treatment to discuss your requirements and expectations, your medical history, details of the treatment and the injectable substance, clinical studies, possible side-effects, forms of anaesthesia and so on.
Environment
Watch out for treatment parties. Treatment under the influence of alcohol and/or peer pressure is not recommended. It is also important that the surroundings are hygienic and comfortable for you.
Expectations
The consultation should tell you whether your expectations of the treatment are realistic. How long the effect will last, how much the treatment is going to cost and so on. Ask to see before and after photographs.
Aftercare
During consultation, you should also discuss the aftercare you may need. Ask whether written material is provided about what you can expect after treatment and about what you can and cannot do. It is good professional practice to be offered a post-treatment checklist and an emergency telephone number to call if needed.
