Interested in facial aesthetics? mydentist goes the extra mile to ensure patient care

by Lee Waring | Nov 17, 2015

As we get older, we start to become wearier of our appearance and the lines that start to appear on the surface – and there’s plenty of ways nowadays to support your beauty regiment whether you’re male or female. But, with all the facial aesthetics options available on the market at the moment, what’s the best option for you.

At mydentist, we want to offer a wide range of treatments, and facial aesthetics is one of those, and to demonstrate our commitment to the highest level of patient care and quality of service, we’ve become the first corporate provider of non-surgical cosmetic treatments to become Save Face accredited.

We’re delighted that twenty of our mydentist practices in the UK are officially accredited by Save Face – gold starring them as safe and qualified to carry out non-surgical cosmetic treatments such as dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections.

Legally, anyone in the UK trained to do so can carry out non-surgical cosmetic treatments and the industry has come under huge pressure to provide protection for patients from an ever increasing number of rogue practitioners who are subjecting patients to unnecessary risk, complications and side effects.  Save Face provided a register of accredited medical practitioners   – all of whom have been assessed against a stringent set of industry specific standards, to ensure that consumers can navigate their way to a safe pair of hands

One of our practices which has been accredited is our mydentist practice in Barnstaple. We spoke to lead dentist Rehanna Beckhurst who said: “It’s hugely important to have an accreditation scheme like Save Face in this highly unregulated industry. It brings into focus the vast difference between being treated by someone who is medically qualified and has the knowledge and expertise to deliver safe and effective treatments to those who are cutting corners and are not following procedure. We need to educate the general public about the risks of these treatments and enable them to make an informed and empowered decision.

 “Being accredited by Save Face is something that I am proud of. It gives me confidence that I am doing the right thing and it allows my clients to feel confident in me too. The Save Face team are extremely helpful and their protocols and assessments are exceptionally thorough, which further qualifies that I am performing to the highest of standards. As practitioners it is our obligation to stand up and protect our clients, and with Save Face we can show this.”

Ashton Collins, Director of Save Face, said: “The Save Face register is more than just a clinic finder. The register is an essential tool for consumers who are considering non-surgical cosmetic treatments.  Up until now, finding a safe and reputable practitioner has quite simply been a lottery. Save Face completely eradicates the burden for consumers trying to differentiate between the good, the bad and the indifferent, we have visited each and every one of our accredited practitioners to ensure that consumers are in safe hands, using safe products in safe environments’’.
