Considering cosmetic injectables? These are the questions worth asking so you can make a confident, informed decision.
At a glance

- Ask about qualifications, risks, aftercare and follow-up.
- A considered approach means you should never feel rushed.
A considered decision
Cosmetic injectable treatments are medical treatments, and in Australia many of the products used are prescription-only medicines. Treatment therefore involves a consultation with a qualified practitioner, who will assess whether it is appropriate for you. It is a decision worth taking time over.
Questions about your practitioner
- What are your qualifications, and are you registered with the relevant national board?
- How long have you been performing this treatment?
- Who prescribes the treatment, and will I consult with them?
Questions about the treatment
- What can this treatment realistically achieve for me — and what can’t it?
- What are the possible side effects and risks?
- How long do results typically last?
- What happens if I’m not happy with the result?
Questions about aftercare
- What should I avoid in the hours and days after treatment?
- What is normal afterwards, and when should I contact you?
- Is a review appointment included?
What to share with your practitioner
