07 Nov Good Faith Exam for Medical Spas: Why They Matter in Modern Aesthetics
Injectable Treatment Notice: Botulinum toxin products are prescription medications, and dermal fillers are medical devices. Both should be given only by qualified, licensed professionals after a medical assessment. Tell your provider about all medications, supplements, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and any neuromuscular, bleeding or autoimmune condition. After filler, seek urgent care for severe pain, skin blanching or color change, or any vision change. After botulinum toxin, seek emergency care for trouble swallowing, speaking or breathing, or for widespread muscle weakness.

These are exactly the details a proper medical evaluation is designed to catch.
