5 questions to ask a new Facial Aesthetics practitioner

Choosing the right practitioner for facial aesthetic treatments is essential for achieving beautiful, natural-looking results safely. Before booking your treatment, here are five key questions to ask:

1. What are your qualifications?

Ask about your practitioner’s medical qualifications and specific training in facial aesthetics. Registered medical professionals — such as dentists, doctors, and nurses — have a thorough understanding of facial anatomy and are better equipped to provide safe, effective treatments.

2. Are you insured and regulated?

Make sure your practitioner has appropriate insurance and is registered with a relevant regulatory body. This not only ensures accountability but also means they adhere to strict safety and hygiene standards.

3. What products do you use?

It’s important to know which products are being injected into your face. Reputable practitioners will use high-quality, approved products from trusted manufacturers. If they are hesitant to disclose this information, consider it a red flag.

4. Can I see examples of your work?

A trustworthy practitioner will be happy to show you before and after photos of previous patients (with their permission). This helps you understand their style and get a sense of the naturalness and quality of their results.

5. What happens if something goes wrong?

While complications are rare when treatments are performed by qualified professionals, they can still happen. A reputable practitioner should be able to explain their emergency protocols and what support they offer if something doesn’t go as planned.

Bonus: Are you Save Face accredited?

Practices accredited by Save Face have been independently verified for their safety, hygiene, and professional standards. Choosing an accredited clinic adds an extra layer of reassurance.

At Evolve Dentistry in Portishead, we encourage open, honest discussions with all patients. We’re proud to be Save Face accredited and to offer treatments in a safe, caring environment led by experienced dental professionals.

50km… and counting! 🚲💪

Our Clinical Director, Dr Carol Somerville Roberts, has just completed her longest training ride yet — an incredible 50 kilometres — as she prepares for a life-changing charity cycle from the base of Kilimanjaro to the Ngorongoro Crater in February 2026.

Carol is taking on this huge challenge to raise funds for Bridge2Aid, a charity providing vital emergency dental care and training in Tanzania. The money raised will help run an outreach and training programme where eight Dental Therapists will be trained and around 2,000 people will receive essential dental treatment.

For someone who hasn’t been on a bike in years, months of training in all weathers is no small feat — and we couldn’t be more proud of her determination.

If you’d like to support Carol and help make a genuine difference to communities with little or no access to dental care, you can donate here:

Every donation, big or small, will have an immense impact.
Thank you for cheering her on! 💜
