 Safety First: How to Vet Providers and Procedures

Your beauty decisions are medical decisions. That’s why we created this checklist for evaluating any aesthetic treatment:

 Is the provider board-certified in dermatology, plastic surgery, or aesthetics?
Are sterile techniques and FDA-approved products used?
Are risks, side effects, and downtime fully disclosed?
Is the practice insured and transparent about pricing?
Are photos, reviews, and credentials verifiable?
