Why you should trust a GP for dermal filler & muscle relaxant injections

Cosmetic injections such as Botox or dermal fillers are a prescription-only drug. Botox is a potent bacterial neurotoxin which will have consequences if not used correctly. Many beauty clinics cut costs and use unqualified doctors or enrolled nurses to perform the procedure – this can be done providing there is a qualified doctor supervising the procedure, however, in many cases, the doctor is never in the same room.

We do not encourage this at all, as it raises concerns about the insurance requirements should something go wrong. At Bartchall Medical Skin Rejuv & Regen, our experienced doctor is available to talk you through the procedure and will give you peace of mind that you are in safe hands.

What is the process for getting Cosmetic Injectables like Dermal Fillers or Botox?

Before undergoing any cosmetic medical procedure, our qualified doctor will sit down and provide you with an in-depth consultation regarding the treatment you are seeking. We will ask you about your medical history and any previous treatments you may have had, any past or present illness or surgeries and any medications you may be taking.

We want to completely inform you about the procedure you are having, answer any questions you may have, and give you peace of mind before we begin.
