Before You Book Anywhere

How to check any injector

Whether you choose us or someone else, these are the questions worth asking.

Who will perform my treatment, and what is their license? Verify it with the New York State Office of the Professions or the Connecticut eLicense lookup.
Who consults and who treats? The person who designs your plan should be the person who carries it out.
Can I see before-and-after photos attributed to the treating provider?
What is the plan if something goes wrong? Ask about emergency protocols and who is available to you after hours.
Will you assess my whole face first? Good providers do not treat one feature in isolation.
