Choosing an ADAP member to deliver non-surgical facial aesthetic services can offer several potential advantages, although membership alone does not guarantee quality.

​

Some reasons people may prefer a practitioner who belongs to a professional association include:

​

• Professional standards: ADAP requires members to follow a strict 'Code of Conduct' that sets out the ethical and clinical standards required to be followed by our members.

• Ongoing education: ADAP requires all members to undertake continuing professional development, so they stay current with new techniques, research, and safety practices.

• Accountability: ADAP Members are subject to professional codes of conduct and disciplinary processes.

• Verification of Qualifications, Training and Experience: ADAP Members must meet certain training, qualification and experience requirements set by the association.

• Access to best practices: ADAP Members receive updates on clinical guidelines, safety recommendations, and advances in their field.

• Patient confidence: ADAP membership provides reassurance that the practitioner is engaged with their profession and committed to maintaining standards.

​​

It's also important to consider:

​

• The practitioner's qualifications and licensing.

• Their experience performing the specific procedure.

• Patient reviews and outcomes.

• Whether they are properly insured and accredited.

• Your comfort level after a consultation and discussion of risks, benefits, and alternatives.
