THE 60-SECOND VERSION
Hiring an anti-wrinkle practitioner in five steps
- Are you a trader, and can I see that in writing?No register covers anti-wrinkle practitioner work, so trader status is what your consumer rights hang on — follow-Up Appointments — patients may require follow-up visits to assess the effects of the treatment and determine if additional injections are necessary.
- How does practitioner's experience change the price?Experience costs more per hour and shows in the finish. — ask before the quote rather than after.
- How does clinic's location change the price?A visit outside the usual patch is priced higher. — ask before the quote rather than after.
- How does amount of product used change the price?Supplying your own can bring the quote down. — ask before the quote rather than after.
- What is not included?Typically, the cost of anti-wrinkle injections does not cover additional treatments or products that may be recommended post-procedure, such as skincare products or follow-up consultations if needed — get the exclusions named in the quote, because a anti-wrinkle practitioner job is priced on what was agreed and not on what was assumed.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Check before you book
No register applies
NO REGISTER APPLIES TO HAIRDRESSERS, BARBERS, BEAUTICIANS OR NAIL TECHNICIANS. Anyone may trade. The line that does exist is medicines: anything involving a PRESCRIPTION-ONLY MEDICINE — botulinum toxin above all — may only be prescribed by a registered prescriber, and that is a medical matter rather than a beauty one. A clinic offering injectables with no named prescriber is the single clearest warning sign in this family.
Look for the trader badge and the ID-checked badge on the Locufy profile — both are checked by us, not claimed by the provider.
What to check instead
For injectables, WHO PRESCRIBES — a named, registered prescriber who has seen you, not a prescription arranged remotely for someone they have never met; For any treatment that breaks the skin, what is single-use and what is sterilised; A patch test before colour or lash work, and enough time before an event; The training and the insurer for the specific treatment, not the salon generally; What the aftercare is and who you call out of hours if something goes wrong; Photographs of their own work on hair or skin like yours.
Ask for each of these before you agree a price, and get the answers in the same message as the quote.
Insurance
Expect treatment-specific professional indemnity — a policy for facials may exclude needles entirely. From a company, ask for the insurer, the limit and the VAT number, and ask who actually attends: the team that turns up may be employed, subcontracted or both, and only one of those is supervised by the firm you are paying.
Ask to see the current certificate of insurance — the insurer's name, the limit and the date it runs to.
Trader or private seller
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2022 a trader must tell you they are a trader, and your consumer rights — work carried out with reasonable skill and care, and a cooling-off period on a contract agreed in your home or online — apply to traders and not to private sellers. On Locufy the trader status is shown on the profile.
Look for the trader badge on the Locufy profile, and ask anyone else for it in writing before you agree a price.
VAT
VAT at 13.5%, the reduced rate Revenue publishes for this service. Ask whether the price you were given includes it. A trader under the €42,500 registration threshold does not charge it; one over it must, and must show it separately.
Ask whether the figure you were given includes it, and for the VAT number if they are registered — Revenue publishes the rate for this service. revenue.ie →

- Look firstPractitioner's experience — experience costs more per hour and shows in the finish — that is what the anti-wrinkle practitioner is judging on the first visit, and a price given without it is a guess.
- Agree what is being doneClinic's location — a visit outside the usual patch is priced higher — put in writing before anyone starts, because it is the document you both read back at the end.
- The work itselfAmount of product used — supplying your own can bring the quote down — and anything found on the day that was not in that is priced before it is started.
- Check it togetherNumber of areas treated — scale is the first thing a provider measures before quoting — walked against the written scope rather than against the feeling of it, while the anti-wrinkle practitioner is still there.
- What you are handedThe itemised invoice and any guarantee on the workmanship and the parts, complexity of the desired results — a design of your own costs more than one off the shelf.

AFTER
When the job is done
Hiring an anti-wrinkle practitioner: questions people ask
The cost can vary based on the practitioner's experience, the clinic's location, and the amount of product used. More experienced professionals may charge higher rates, and urban clinics often have elevated prices due to demand.
The injection process itself typically takes between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. However, you should also factor in time for the initial consultation.
Many clinics offer same-day appointments, but availability can vary. It's advisable to call ahead and check if they can accommodate your request, especially during peak times.
Yes, clients often choose to combine anti-wrinkle injections with other treatments, such as dermal fillers or skin rejuvenation procedures. Discussing your goals during the consultation can help create a comprehensive treatment plan.
