Injectables and facial fillers require a specific technique for each area that may be used for the injectable or facial filler. Unfortunately, there has been a surge of non-physicians injecting every thing from injectables and facial fillers to injection lipolysis. A non-physician that is injecting injectables may result in unnecessary risks, including:
 
- Risk for displeasing facial filler result. Should the injection not be placed in an appropriate location, the facial filler may migrate or not produce results in the area that the patient wished to improve.   

- Disfigurement is very rare and the results are usually temporary, but may occur especially in the case of lipodissolve.

- Injections may hit a nerve resulting in temporary or permanent numbness and/or. immobility in the treatment area.
 
Some nurses and physicians assistants may be qualified to perform injectables and facial fillers. There are some that have gone through specific training for injectables and facial fillers as well as licensing that is specific for injectables. The Physicians Coalition for Injectable Safety has issued consumer guidelines for selecting the right medical provider, including: 
 
- Seek out a facility that has a medical setting to ensure safety and efficacy for injectables and facial fillers.

- Informed consent is a document used to list the risks and benefits associated with injectables and facial fillers. This document should be presented for a patient to sign prior to receiving the procedure.

-  People interested in injectables and facial fillers should receive a diagnosis and treatment plan for the diagnosis that will verbally be provided to the patient prior to receiving facial filler or injectable treatment.
 
In conclusion, injectables and facial fillers offer an immediate complimentary result and have been used for years to temporary build volume and fill facial lines, wrinkles, and skin folds. Yet, it is critical to select the right medical provider and facility for the procedure.
