Awareness of dermal fillers has evolved massively over the last 10 years, entering the mainstream.
Meanwhile, there have also been developments in the nature of products as well as the knowledge and skills required to use them safely and effectively. However, standards here vary enormously. There are no minimum standards or regulations and wannabe practitioners can enter the industry from any background at all – including a non-medical background.
Experts suggest that while product technology has leapt forward, one of the biggest developments in dermal fillers over recent years is actually the anatomical knowledge required to use them. The best practitioners are those that are able to employ more refined techniques in order to generate better results for their patients.
Anatomical knowledge is essential to understand the implications of needle placement, depth and technique. Accuracy and precision depend on having awareness of the structures beneath the surface of the skin and this has a large bearing on safety.
However, this knowledge is not universal. In a market that is unregulated, there is no minimum standard of training at all.
Benefits of Medical Qualification for Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a popular cosmetic procedure that can be used to improve the appearance of wrinkles, folds and loss of volume. They can be used to add contour and definition to the face and even to improve the appearance of scars.
However, it is always best to choose a qualified and experienced practitioner to administer dermal fillers.
- Medically trained and therefore deeper understanding of anatomical structures
- Best placed to minimise the risk of complications and understand best course of action in case of any issues
