Why Your Injector Should Never Stop Learning
Asked what she’s changed her mind about over the years, Candice Roberts, NP, laughs: “Oh, so many things.” In aesthetics, products, techniques, and research change constantly.
Here is why that matters when you’re choosing an experienced injector, and what it looks like in practice at our Houma, LA office.
Aesthetics changes fast, so the best injectors keep learning. That means constant training, reading new research, and testing what’s new against what already works. Sometimes the result is a change in technique. Sometimes it’s proof that the current approach is still the best option.
Candice Roberts, NP, on staying current in aesthetics.
“Constantly Learning, Constantly Training”
“In aesthetics and wellness in general, innovation is probably the fastest of any industry,” Candice says. “I feel like I’m constantly learning, constantly training, and there’s always something new coming out.”
Staying on the forefront means reading new research and seeing what’s better, not chasing every trend.
“Maybe I’m not adding something in or changing, but proving that what I’m doing still makes the most sense with all the options out there.”Candice Roberts, NP
Learning That Shows Up in Your Plan
Ongoing education isn’t just a certificate on the wall. It changes how treatment is planned:
Techniques evolve
Filler used to be “paint by number.” Today, Candice uses less filler in more areas for a more natural result.
Treatment areas expand
Neurotoxin used to mean the upper face only. Now it may include the jawline, neck, and chin. See What Does Botox Actually Do?
New options get tested, not just adopted
Every new product or device is weighed against what already works. If it isn’t better, it doesn’t replace the proven option.
Teaching keeps standards high
Candice also trains other injectors through Train with Candice, which means staying current isn’t optional.
Questions Worth Asking
When you’re choosing an experienced injector, these questions tell you a lot:
- How do you stay current?Look for ongoing training and an interest in research, not just years in practice.
- What have you changed your approach on?A thoughtful answer shows someone who evaluates, not someone stuck in one way of doing things.
- Why do you recommend this option over others?You should hear reasoning, not just a product name.
- What would you not do for me?An honest injector is comfortable saying no. See Realistic Expectations for Botox and Filler.

What should I look for when choosing an experienced injector?
When choosing an experienced injector, look for ongoing training, an interest in current research, a whole-face assessment, and honest recommendations, including when not to treat. Experience matters most when it’s paired with continued learning.
Why does continuing education matter for injectors?
Products, techniques, and research in aesthetics change quickly. An injector who keeps training can offer safer, more natural approaches as the field evolves.
Does newer always mean better?
No. New options should be tested against what already works. Sometimes the research confirms the current approach is still the best choice.
Does Candice train other injectors?
Yes. Candice trains other injectors through Train with Candice, in addition to treating patients at our Houma office.
How has injecting changed over the years?
Filler has shifted from large amounts in single areas to small amounts across several areas, and neurotoxin is now often used beyond the upper face. Both changes support more natural results.
How do I know if my injector is up to date?
Ask how they stay current and what they’ve changed in their approach. A clear, thoughtful answer is a good sign.
