Before you agree to anything, ask
Use these to compare providers too.
- Who exactly will do my treatment?
- What is their license, and can I look it up?
- What training do they have with this device or product?
- Is this treatment suitable for my skin type and health history?
- How many visits will I likely need?
- What aftercare do you recommend?
- What is your plan if there is a complication?
- What will the whole thing cost, all in?
Before you go
Take ten minutes to jot down a few things. It saves time and helps you get clear answers.
- What you would like to change or ask about.
- Your medical history and current medications.
- Any reactions you have had to skin products or treatments.
- The questions you want answered.
At the end of the consultation, write down what was recommended, the number of sessions and the total cost.
Pause if you see these
A consultation that goes well usually leaves you with clear answers and no rush. Pause if instead you get:
- A push to pay a deposit or book on the spot.
- Treatment offered with no consultation.
- Fuzzy answers about who performs it and their license.
- A refusal to give the total cost in writing.
You can look up licenses through the Maryland state boards. A short search before you book is worth the time.
