When I host the ever popular “Lunch and Learn” this question is always near the top of FAQ’s.  People want to know who they should go to… a MD, DO, NP, or PA?  Does it matter?

The laws vary from state to state, so first and foremost make sure the clinician you choose for these services has the proper credentials.

Aesthetic medicine is not rocket science, HOWEVER, results are dependent upon the skill of the clinician.  Injectables, in particular, deliver best results in the hands of an experienced clinician with an artistic eye.  In other words, there is a level of skill that cannot be taught in a classroom and is not guaranteed by the initials following the name of a clinician.

Practice makes perfect.  This is certainly true in aesthetics.  Typically, the more frequently a clinician is performing aesthetic treatments the better the results they deliver become.

Communication is critical.  There are numerous aesthetic clinicians that deliver fantastic results… choose the one you feel the most comfortable with and confident in!

If it seems too good to be true it probably is!  When you see exceptionally low pricing on aesthetic treatments you might want to think twice.  The old saying “you get what you pay for” is an old saying for a reason!
