Know Your Injector
Injectables are a safe, minimally invasive way to restore lost volume, improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve facial contours in a subtle, natural-looking way. However, when performed by an untrained or inexperienced injector, these treatments can backfire – changing your appearance in an unwanted way, costing more than they should and even leading to unplanned medical complications.
Board-certified plastic surgeons, especially those with extensive injecting experience like Dr. Clark, remain the safest and smartest choice for facial injections. More than 1 million doctors are allowed to perform injectables and filler in the U.S., but only 3% of doctors, including Dr. Clark., are qualified to be an Expert Injector. Today, plastic surgeons and dermatologists continue to be the most trusted providers of facial injections.
While all physicians are required to have a deep understanding of the human body and how it works – not all physicians are taught to examine and understand the face and body from an aesthetic perspective. Plastic surgeons undergo years of rigorous training to understand how surgical and nonsurgical treatments will impact the appearance and function of treated areas. Although, physicians in other specialties might bring a unique perspective, none receive the same blend of aesthetic and medical training as plastic surgeons that make them uniquely qualified to perform cosmetic injections.
As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Clark is also a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) as well as the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS.) Dr. Clark has been performing facial injections for over 25 years and has been named an “Expert Injector” by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS.)
