What to expect at your first consultation

A good treatment plan begins with a conversation. Your consultation is time set aside to understand your goals, your skin and your health history before any treatment is recommended.

Before you arrive

Make a note of the skincare products and any medications or supplements you use, previous aesthetic treatments, and any allergies. If you can, arrive without makeup so your provider can assess your skin clearly.

During the consultation

Your provider will ask what you would like to change, look closely at your skin, and explain which options may suit you — including how each treatment works, what you might feel, possible side effects, downtime and aftercare.

Realistic expectations

Results vary from person to person, and non-surgical treatments do not deliver the same results as surgery. A good provider will be clear about what a treatment can and cannot do, and may recommend that you don’t proceed if a treatment isn’t a good fit.
