Ask what product is being used — and see it
The most important question is the simplest: what exact brand of product are you injecting, and can I see it opened? Premium neurotoxins and fillers are traceable, sealed and brand-named. A clinic that won't name the product, or draws from an unlabeled container, is a hard no. At a good clinic this question is welcomed, not dodged.
Look for hygiene you can see
Single-use needles opened in front of you, gloves, clean surfaces, proper disposal. You don't need to be a nurse to notice whether a space takes hygiene seriously. Trust what you see.

Insist on a real consultation first
No reputable clinic injects a face it hasn't assessed. A proper consultation looks at your anatomy, asks about your history and medication, and gives you an honest plan — including saying "not yet" or "you don't need that." If someone wants to treat you the moment you walk in with no questions asked, walk out.
Check reviews that are real and recent
Look for a genuine Google profile with a healthy number of recent reviews and real names — not a wall of anonymous five-stars posted the same week. Recency matters: it tells you the clinic is consistently good now, not just once.
The red flags
Prices that are dramatically below everyone else (product is expensive for a reason), pressure to decide immediately, no written aftercare, no way to reach anyone after you leave, and vague answers about who is treating you and with what. Any one of these is a reason to pause.
