What is a Physician’s Assistant?
Thanks to so many exciting new technologies and products, non-surgical cosmetic procedures – from dermal fillers and BOTOX® to microdermabrasion and laser skin resurfacing – are more popular than ever. Their availability is greater than ever, as well. In fact, the number of places and types of practitioners providing cosmetic treatments can be overwhelming.
Medispa, home party, or physician’s office, where should you go? Does it even make a difference?
The answer is a firm “yes!” For your safety, not to mention aesthetic satisfaction, always seek out a licensed professional with extensive experience in the services you want, along with a roster of happy clients.
