Ask a licensed provider

Injectables consultation requests

Who may give injectables is set by Colorado law. A licensed provider can talk through wrinkle relaxers and fillers with you at a consultation.

Get started

Two kinds of injectable

Most injectable menus come down to two types:

  • Wrinkle relaxers. A protein that acts on muscles, injected with a fine needle into chosen spots. Areas often discussed include the forehead and around the eyes.
  • Dermal fillers. Soft gels placed beneath the skin with a needle or a blunt tube called a cannula. Areas often discussed include the lips, cheeks and lines around the mouth.

Injectables are given by licensed providers where state law allows. Who may inject varies by state. A licensed provider decides what, if anything, is suitable for you after a consultation.

What a provider checks before injecting

A licensed provider usually asks about these before suggesting any injectable:

  • your health history, including nerve or muscle conditions and any autoimmune conditions
  • medicines and supplements, especially blood thinners, aspirin, fish oil and similar
  • allergies, including to numbing creams or past injectables
  • pregnancy, plans to become pregnant, or breastfeeding
  • cold sores, if fillers near the lips are discussed
  • past injectables, where and when, and how you got on
  • upcoming events, since bruising can show for a while

Honest answers help the provider decide what is suitable.

A short list to bring

For an injectables consultation, bring:

  1. photo ID
  2. your medicine and supplement list
  3. names of any past injectables, and dates
  4. a note of any reactions or allergies
  5. your questions, written down

Some people also bring a photo from a few years ago if they want to describe something that has changed. Ask the office whether to arrive without makeup. Do not stop any prescribed medicine to prepare unless the person who prescribed it agrees.

Questions about injectables

Do I need to stop any medicines first?

Do not stop a prescribed medicine without talking to the person who prescribed it. Some medicines and supplements, such as blood thinners, aspirin and fish oil, can make bruising more likely, so bring a full list to the consultation. The provider weighs it and decides what is suitable.

How do I know which product a provider is using?

Ask. A provider can tell you the product type, whether it is a wrinkle relaxer or a dermal filler, and why they suggest it. You can also ask for the product name and amount to be noted in your records, which helps if you see a different provider later.

What should I ask an injector?

Ask about their license, training and how often they inject; which product they suggest and why; possible side effects; how they handle complications; and aftercare. The questions to ask page has a longer list you can print or copy.

One form, one local provider, and your questions answered before any decision.
