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?
What a provider will want to know
Expect questions about your health, so have the answers ready:
- Medical conditions and recent illnesses.
- Prescription medications, supplements and topical products.
- Allergies and sensitivities.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Previous cosmetic treatments.
Then add your own list of questions, such as who will perform the treatment and what the total cost will be. A licensed provider uses this information to decide what is suitable for you.
Signs to slow down
Most providers are happy to answer questions and give you time. Be careful if you notice any of these:
- Pressure to book or pay that same day.
- No consultation before treatment.
- Vague answers about who will perform the treatment.
- Unwillingness to put the cost in writing.
You can look up a license with the South Carolina state board that covers that profession. If something feels off, it is fine to walk away.
