Your consultation question list
Print it, save it to your phone, or copy it into a note.
- What are your qualifications, and who else might treat me?
- Where did you train for this procedure?
- Which product or device do you use?
- What should I expect over a full series?
- How should I care for the area afterward?
- What side effects are common, and which are rare?
- How do you handle problems if they come up?
- What will I pay in total, and is it in writing?
Your consultation notes
It helps to treat a consultation like any appointment where you need to make a decision. Bring notes in, and leave with notes.
Going in, have your health history, medications, allergies and past treatments written down, plus your questions. Coming out, write down who you met, what they suggested, the device or product named, the aftercare, and the total cost they quoted. Notes make it much easier to compare providers or sleep on it.
Reasons to wait
It is your face, your skin and your money. You can leave a consultation without booking, and you can come back later.
Slow down if there is pressure to book the same day, if no one offers a proper consultation, if you get vague answers about who will perform the treatment, or if the provider will not give you the cost in writing. To look up a license, ask for the person's full name and license type, then search the North Carolina state board for that profession.
A licensed provider decides what is suitable for you. Send a request to begin that conversation.
