Things to note before injecting facial fillers
Facial fillers are one of the safest beauty care procedures to do, provided they are performed by a professional and certified beauty therapist. Here are some things you must do before you do filler face.

Well, if you are offered facial filler treatment that costs much lower than the standard price offered, there are a number of things you should consider: practitioner expertise and the quality of the products offered. Never take the risk of bargaining for facial treatments. Instead of wanting to be beautiful, it can actually result in disappointing, even harmful to you.
- Make sure the practitioner who will handle you is indeed a certified doctor.
- Avoid treatments performed at home, hotel, salon, or spa. You can only undergo this treatment in clinics that are trusted and have good reputation.
- As a consumer, you must know all the actions you take. Whether from service providers or experts. Do not hesitate to ask what type of substance is injected, the side effects, the safety of the equipment used, and most importantly, make sure if the place where you do the filler face has indeed obtained an open practice license from the relevant agency. If the provider does not provide this information to you, do not let them do the procedure.
- Use sunscreen (sunblock) every time you want to do outdoor activities. This is done to help protect the skin from pigment changes after swelling from the injection.
