What can go wrong?
The internet is littered with stories about bad Botox experiences and shoddily administered fillers, and the negative effects of these treatments sometimes amount to so much more than people merely being unable to see any changes to their appearance.
In some cases, when too much Botox is administered, patients are left unable to properly move their faces and must suffer the consequences of looking “frozen” until this wears off. Additionally, excess filler can often result in this substance migrating to different areas of the face and leaving visible and unsightly lumps in prominent facial features such as the lips.
Things can get more extreme, too and there have been several reported instances of improperly administered injections leading to bleeding, infection and even the death of the tissue that surrounds a particular area of treatment.
Whilst such painful after-effects are rare, it’s crucial to see these as harrowing reminders of what can go wrong when you choose to place your trust in the wrong person.
How can this be avoided?
All of this can be avoided of course, as long as you keep a few things in mind. These days, many clinics and practitioners are proud to be a part of organisations like Save Face – a Professional Standards Authority-accredited register that ensures that those in the aesthetics industry have been properly inspected, trained and assessed by fellow experts before being deemed safe to carry out such treatments. To steer clear of any mishaps, it may be a good idea to check that the establishment you are booking in with is linked to Save Face or a similarly respected regulatory body.
You can also take things further by making sure you scour the website and social media pages of those who claim to be able to provide the service you’re looking for. Quite often, these online channels will feature examples of a clinic’s previous work in the form of Before & After images or testimonials from customers who have come through the other side of a procedure feeling happy and content with their new look. Remember, word-of-mouth is something that aesthetics specialists like to use to their advantage, so it’s important to see such positive feedback as a genuine seal of approval from those in the know.
Dr Rasha’s credentials
Another thing to focus on when it comes to selecting the right person for the job is the amount of experience a practitioner has in conducting a particular aesthetic or cosmetic treatment. In the case of Dr Rasha Clinic, London, our credentials have never been in doubt and we’re proud of our founder’s reputation as one of London’s very best cosmetic doctors.
After holding many impressive roles in a variety of medical settings, Dr Rasha found her niche as an aesthetics practitioner around 5 years ago and has since gone on to help hundreds of patients find workable, natural-looking solutions to a plethora of appearance-based concerns from the luxurious confines of her exclusive, Mayfair-based clinic.
The treatment process
Experience aside, Dr Rasha is also well known for the depth and detail of her consultation process and uses this pre-treatment meeting as a way of really getting to know her patients and what they wish to achieve from undergoing their chosen treatment. During these consultations, Dr Rasha will perform a thorough assessment of the problem area and ask a number of questions about your medical history. This will allow her to determine the right course of action for you, with space left to talk through any concerns you may have and questions about your recommended procedure always actively encouraged.
Once a treatment has been advised, Dr Rasha will elaborate on what this consists of and let you know what sorts of results you can expect to achieve. No treatment will ever be carried out without your full consent or understanding and your safety and comfort will always remain Dr Rasha’s number one priority.
Your treatment journey doesn’t end there either. Once your procedure has been completed, you will be provided with detailed aftercare instructions. This is to ensure that the area of treatment has the best chance of healing properly and that your results aren’t compromised in any way. Should you run into trouble, Dr Rasha will always be on hand to offer further advice, support or assistance.
There are several reasons that Dr Rasha is quite so highly regarded and her consultation and treatment processes, which are always carried out with the utmost care and professionalism, are certainly somewhat responsible for the stunning reputation she has managed to cultivate over the past half-decade.
