Verify the person and product
Mafi lists aesthetic nurse practitioners for injectable care. Ask who will assess and inject you, what professional license and relevant training they hold, and which product will be used. The FDA advises working with a licensed provider experienced in injection anatomy and complication management, especially for fillers.
Look for a reasoned plan
A good consultation explains the specific concern, whether it is related to muscle movement or volume, what the treatment can and cannot change, and alternatives including no treatment. Ask the provider to identify the intended injection area and relevant product indication. Avoid interpreting a brand name or promotion as a substitute for that explanation.
Confirm the response pathway
Ask what normal post-visit changes may occur, which symptoms require immediate attention, how to contact the practice after hours and whether a planned review is included. Bring prior injectable treatment details and medicines. Compare written estimates by product and proposed plan, not solely by a discounted unit or syringe figure.
Be wary of product ambiguity
If the product name, injector or treatment area changes from what was discussed, pause for an explanation. Consent should correspond to the actual planned treatment, including its limits and relevant alternatives, before anything is injected.
Questions and answers
Does the company name identify my injector?
