Aesthetic medicine:how to find a good doctor?

Not easy to find a good practitioner. Especially since all doctors can inject hyaluronic acid (on the other hand, only dermatologists and surgeons can use botulinum toxin). Results ? Any "doc" can get started overnight, without even going through any prior training. The greatest caution is therefore called for. Ask your GP for advice and/or contact specialist medical unions, for dermatos:http://www.syndicatdermatos.org; for plastic surgeons:http://www.sncpre.org. One of the best networks, in other words "word of mouth" does not work well in France, where the aesthetic act remains shameful:there is no question of confessing that one has "done something". If you ever have a girlfriend who confesses and you appreciate the result, go see her practitioner. And always, look at the face of women in the waiting room, talk with him. To avoid slippage, take the time for reflection and information:before taking action, ask for a detailed quote, as well as the name of the products he intends to inject you. Flee from practitioners who decide to defy the rules by selling their services on grouped discount sites:this is strictly prohibited by the order of doctors. In addition, when the prices charged are (too) low, this means that the quality of the products is in question, which exposes you to undesirable effects which can sometimes be catastrophic. On the internet, again, "it's the big bazaar of aesthetics, you can find everything to inject yourself, from products to tutorials, underlines Dr. François Niforos, plastic surgeon. This is a bad reason to save money. If we have a small budget, we can talk about it with the doctor and see what we can do, setting priorities and proceeding step by step."
