SKIN · SELF-CARE · FEELING LIKE YOU
Before a beauty treatment
Know the service, the provider and the aftercare.
Start with your priorities.
Ask exactly what is being offered, who will perform it and what qualifications or registration apply to that service in your location.
Ask about the practical details.
Request an explanation of risks, alternatives, recovery expectations, aftercare and the total cost. Ask how complications are handled and who you can contact afterwards.
Keep the decision informed.
Photographs and testimonials cannot establish that a treatment is appropriate for you. A consultation should leave space to decline or take more time.
Take these questions with you.
- What would a suitable assessment involve?
- What benefits, risks and alternatives should I understand?
- What will the appointments and follow-up cost?
- How will we review the plan and decide next steps?
