Ask them about their experience working in aesthetic industry: how long they have been working, what treatments they perform. Remember you can ask to see their cosmetic qualifications and malpractice insurance, if those are not available on display.
The consultation may take between 15 to 30 minutes and it should be done by the doctor who will be treating you. Reputable practitioners usually will not dedicate it to someone else.
At the consultation you will have a full assessment and your medical history and history of past aesthetic treatments will be taken. Both you and your Doctor will decide what is the best treatment for you to achieve desirable result. You will be shown some before and after photos and in some cases a video that demonstrate the treatments. So you can estimate what can and what can’t be achieved.
If Doctor is not willing to show you or don’t have portfolio, ask: why is that?
You need to know what products will be used for your treatment, how do they work, and what are possible side effects.
Your Doctor should give you estimate cost of the treatment. Be careful and don’t get attracted by cheap offers. Good quality products, practitioner insurance, registration with regulatory bodies and investment in continuing professional development – these all cost money and therefore there is a certain price for good quality treatments. So why would you risk it with your face? Choose reputable clinics and do your research before considering undergoing the treatment.
