Are You Safe With Cheap Lip Fillers In Oxford?

A recent BBC Documentary has highlighted the need for extra vigilance when choosing a practitioner for lip dermal fillers, or any non-surgical treatment for that matter.

Whilst the treatment is generally a safe procedure, there are still some very serious complications that can occur with dermal fillers. Even in the most experienced of hands complications can still arise. The ability to reduce this risk occuring in the first place is essential, as is the ability to effectively resolve the situation if a complication does occur.

Watch the documentary below to find out more on this BBC and Save Face investigation:

Save Face Director Ashton Collins warns against falling foul to the hidden dangers of cheap lip fillers and provides her top tips on how you can stay safe if you are considering a non-surgical cosmetic treatment.

Dermal Filler Prices In Oxford

Dermal filler treatment prices will encompass a variety of components that should be considered when you are searching for lip fillers in Oxford. When an aesthetic skin clinic or medical aesthetic practitioner is deciding upon the price they charge for dermal filler treatments, they will be considering the following:

1. How much practitioner experience they have to deliver safe and effective results. This is a vital component of the treatment price. Consider if cheap dermal filler treatments will be delivered by a medical professional whose experience is really reflected within their price. An experienced medical aesthetic practitioner, who invests in their continuing education, will unlikely be your cheapest option.

2. The dermal filler brand they prescribe for their patients. There are a variety of manufacturers that produce hyaluronic acid dermal filler, all with varying degrees of safety testing, effect and action, as well as differing levels of expense to your practitioner. If a practitioner is choosing to prescribe a more expensive brand, that has known clinical studies to substantiate its safety, this will likely be reflected within the price that they charge.

3. The location within which they provide treatments. Medical aesthetic treatments should be provided within a safe and clean environment that is fit for the purpose of providing medical treatments. A room rented by the hour at the back of a hair or beauty salon is not appropriate. Ensure that when you are considering the price of dermal filler treatments that you find out where the practitioner operates from. A practitioner who has taken the time, effort and expense to ensure that the treatment setting is safe for you will not be providing cheap dermal filer treatments. At Lumiere MediSpa in Oxford we operate within a CQC registered dental practice and we meet the Save Face safe premises criteria.

4. Your individualised treatment plan. Prices will vary depending upon your individual skin concerns and the number of mls of hyaluronic acid required to treat this. For instance, a lip filler treatment will likely require 1 ml, however if you require dermal filler to the chin or cheeks to ensure the mouth corners are supported and the chin projection is correct for the lip proportions you could be looking at 3 or 4 ml of dermal filler and this will undoubtedly be more expensive. For this exact reason, it is important to enquire about the price of dermal filler treatments during a consultation rather than over the phone or email. Your practitioner can then advise you accurately for the treatment you individually require.

   
   
   

How To Stay Safe When Considering Dermal Filler Treatments In Oxfordshire

• Don’t make the cheapest price your motivator to have a treatment.

• If possible, take recommendation from someone you trust, or seek reviews of the person and company.

• Make sure a consultation is provided in person with the practitioner before you have any treatments, and that you are not obliged to have a treatment if you attend.

• Where possible choose a practitioner who has voluntary regulation with a government backed register such as Save Face, or JCCP

• Find out who will be consulting and treating you. Make sure it is the same person who consults with you so that your expectations are in line with the person treating.

• Ensure the practitioner has a medical professional background such as a Doctor, Nurse or Dentist. Don’t be afraid to ask for their professional registration number before meeting and look them up on their professional register such as the NMC.

• Ask about their professional indemnity insurance

• Ask about their experience

• Ask about the risks of the treatments being discussed. These should be fully disclosed and discussed as well as being written for you to read.

• Trust your instincts; if it doesn’t feel right, don’t do it.
