As responsible injectors, it’s important for us to empower dermal filler patients. There are a few things we need to do to achieve this:
- Marry patient expectations with our own expert recommendations.
- Explain the process and what to expect from treatment.
- Provide a safe environment.
With this in mind, how do we want our patients to feel when they sit in the treatment chair?
Prepared for their dermal filler treatment
Having an aesthetic treatment can be daunting. It’s important to remember that dermal filler patients have inevitably heard treatment horror stories as they research in preparation. A lot of the information they have at their fingertips is incorrect. It is therefore our job to prepare them for what will REALLY happen during treatment. It is absolutely key to explain:
- The treatment
- Expected results
- Aftercare.
Knowledgeable about fillers
Firstly, educating patients is paramount. Indeed, every patient should understand the WHY, WHAT, WHERE and HOW involved in their treatment plan. Take the time to explain how the treatment will achieve their desired results, which products you will be using and where you will be placing the filler. The more knowledgeable they feel, the more comfortable they will be.
Empowered to make their own treatment choice
As an industry, we should be ensuring that patients have all the facts and can use them to make an informed decision when it comes to having an injectable treatment. By being an open and honest injector who provides expert advice for optimum results, you can empower patients to make the choice that’s right for them.
Confident in their dermal filler treatment
A patient should have trust and confidence in their injector before committing to treatment. Trust is built through honest, detailed consultations, expert advice and safe, effective treatments. Your credentials, before and after examples and reviews will also equal confident patients.
Safe with their injector
Without a doubt; patients should feel safe when they are about to have an injectable treatment. That said, laws and regulations in the UK are not tight enough and many patients go ahead with treatments in unsafe environments. This is often connected with a lack of public dermal filler safety knowledge and understanding. Providing safe, ethical treatments for patients is extremely important.
