In the UK anyone with a medical qualification
such as a nurse, doctor or surgeon is
licensed by law to perform non surgical procedures. The level of skill and
experience
offered varies widely.
Because of the industry popularity, most medical
professionals are taking one day courses in a
range of procedures without learning facial assessment. Therefore these clinicians
wait for you the
clients to tell them what you want which in most cases is not correct since
you the client cannot
really know without training to identify your overall needs.
However the information on this site should give
you a lot of resources to assess your clinician’s
skills more intelligently. Step one is to inform yourself about how your body
and skin age and all
factors that impact your appearance. On this site, we give you a lot of insight
on what procedures
can make dramatic improvement to your appearance. Read up on the procedures
or send us an
e-mail if you have further questions about the particular procedure you are
considering. Most of
the clinicians listed on this site are facial experts so the clinic locator
can be used to evaluate
clinicians in your local area.

When choosing your clinician, consider the
following:
- Qualifications: Confirm legitimacy
- Training: Qualified Training Companies
- Consultation: Look for comprehensiveness,
openness and compassion
- Advertising: Be sceptical
- Personal referrals: Ask friends and family
- Fees: Make sure it is all inclusive
- Instinct: Trust your own feeling

Qualifications
Make sure
that the person is a doctor or nurse and not an unqualified individual
who is providing
your treatment. This is a somewhat unregulated industry and some training companies
are
training unqualified individuals to provide the treatment. If someone is offering
you a very low
price for the procedure, you should investigate their qualification to establish
if they are qualified
to provide the treatment.
Training
There
are only a few good courses in the country. A solid training organization
should be training
medical professionals on a range of procedures so that they are competent to
assess their client
needs and set realistic expectations. Most consumers tend to think that years
of experience will
guarantee optimal treatment outcome but this is not the case. A well trained
individual can quickly
surpass the skill of a poorly trained clinician who has been working in the
field for ages. In fact
most of the medical professionals who have been trained by K-T Training are
better skilled to
diagnose and create optimum results at an affordable price. Please view our
model testimonials.
Consultation
A
short consultation which consists of you telling the doctor what
you want is not good enough.
Your consultation should involve a facial assessment and the clinician should
be trained to assess
if what you are requesting will give you the result that you want. It is
the clinician job to let you
know what you need to improve your appearance. For instance, if you went
to purchase a
computer and explained to the sales person your needs, it is the sales person
job, if trained
properly, to assess if your needs coincide with your request. If not it is
his/her job to let you know
the limitations of your request and to make the correct recommendations.
This is a skill that
medical professionals are not trained in and tend to respond to requests
instead of assessing
needs and making appropriate recommendations based on the conversation with
the client. It is
very rare that we receive this level of service in the UK but for your face
it is mandatory that you
find the correct clinician since this is an highly emotional purchase and
you deserve the best for
your hard earned money. |
Advertising
Watch
out for the advertisement that says facial rejuvenation but the clinician
is only providing
limited procedures. If you read the section on ageing, you will recognise that
we age intrinsically
and extrinsically. The clinician should be skilled to help you prolong your youthfulness
by knowing
how we age intrinsically. He/She should know how to repair damage to the skin
(extrinsic ageing).
If the clinician is limited in skills, they are not experienced to be your consultant.
Do not look for
years of experience in a particular procedures instead you should be assessing
the person skill
and knowledge in dealing with all the components of ageing.
Personal referrals
A
referral is the best form of endorsement. However, the referee may
not know if they are
receiving the best solutions for their needs since the quality of service is
not even at 5 out of 10.
Fees
Do
not look for the cheapest price since clinician can cut cost by using
less product or inferior
products. Most consultations are free so you should book the consultation
and assess the clinician.
It is the only way to assess the clinician and the clinic.
Instinct
You
will know when are in the presence of a professional organization
by how they treat and
communicate with you throughout the pathway. |
