Lawmakers have called for dermal fillers, such as lip and cheek fillers, to be regulated and provided only by prescription.
The controversy over regulation stems from the widespread availability of dermal fillers in what lawmakers call a “cowboy” industry.
Emily*, 26, is a classic example of what can go wrong. When a brow tech offered discount lip fillers, she was intrigued after years of being uncomfortable with lip fillers.
Emily went ahead with the procedure “not realizing fillers weren’t the way it was meant to be done” and endured some pretty dire consequences.
she tells That was a year ago and I’m still very upset about this whole experience.
The recently launched Save Face campaign is the government’s first effort to ensure that people know the risks of cosmetic procedures and “where they can find the information they need to make informed decisions about their care.”
Many estheticians support the move in hopes of standardizing procedures and improving patient safety.
Dr. Ahmed El Muntasari, a general practitioner and beautician, told.
“The reality is that Botox is prescribed now, but fillers are not, and the damage that fillers can cause is much more serious.”
In addition to the physical side effects of poorly managed fillers, the mental health of young people seeking non-invasive cosmetic treatments is also being discussed.
Prescription-only fillers are believed to help patients understand how much damage they are doing to their faces.
Dr. Alex Caridis, a cosmetic surgeon in London, agrees that the industry should be subject to more restrictions, starting with regulations on the manufacture and testing of injectables.
he says the following: Not all of these have been rigorously tested and any manufacturer can make a filler.
But the real danger is that what they use to inject won’t cause much of a problem. [an unqualified practitioner] I don’t know where and how to inject, then the problem arises.
“It’s much more important to make sure who does the surgery and is qualified enough to do lip fillers.
In recent years, he says, there has been a rise in the number of “unscrupulous sellers” offering low-cost services through social media.
“It’s all a scam and consumers shouldn’t be fooled by low prices,” adds Caridis. “When it comes to lip fillers, it’s not cheap and it’s not fun. It’s a game of Russian roulette with your own body.”
Treatment of your lips by a licensed esthetician can help prevent other side effects of lip fillers, including bleeding and pain at the injection site, reactivation of cold sores, discoloration and tenderness, infection, and death of the injected tissue) . in or around arteries).
If you are considering any form of treatment, it is important to investigate why you want to change your image and the treatment itself.
Those who decide fillers are right for them should be more selective when choosing a professional. As you search for locations, be on the lookout for the following red flags:
cheap price
If the prices seem too high, they probably are.
Proper dermal fillers are expensive and anything injected into the face to change its appearance should probably be expensive. It’s one of those cases where you’re better off saving money to get them.
Book directly on social networks
Facebook is full of non-estheticians offering fillers.
A good esthetician who wants to build trust with their clients has a website with information about their work experience, knowledge, qualifications, and many testimonials from satisfied clients.
bad review
This seems like a no-brainer, but if a vendor has bad reviews, don’t give them a second thought. Sure, some people are being unfair, but fillers literally become your face.
Be the chosen one. Visit the Venus beautician across the board.
Unrated
It is important to determine the qualifications of the person managing the product. The industry is so unregulated that you can now legally get lip fillers without a license, but that doesn’t mean it’s safe.
“It’s best to request proof of appropriate medical qualifications before starting treatment,” Caridis says. Ideally, you should be a licensed nurse or doctor.

Many fillers on Facebook offer up to 2ml, but Dr. Karidis says it’s always best to be cautious, and most qualified practitioners start with small (but not necessarily easy post-injection) fillers (because it’s not always possible to remove the
Then, if the patient is satisfied with the results of the first treatment, it can be built. Practitioners who offer a lot of padding on the first move are not paying attention.

If you’re desperate for a cosmetic fix, you probably have a bigger problem with your self-esteem and need some work done. Either way, it’s not worth risking your health.
save face clinic finder
The Save Face campaign website is a helpful resource for those who want to do their homework before the fillers.
It provides information to the public about dermal fillers, has a clinic finder for prospective patients, and allows people to choose only reputable clinics.
