Start with your concern
Try completing two sentences: “What concerns me is…” and “What I would like to preserve is…”. This defines both the aim and the boundaries of any change.
Seven questions before deciding
- What do you see during the examination?
- What are the options, including doing nothing?
- What effect is realistic in my case?
- What are the risks, limitations and possible adverse reactions?
- What is the total fee and what does it include?
- How might treatment affect my upcoming plans?
- When is follow-up needed and how do I get in touch?
Take time to decide
You can ask for clarification and take time. A consultation may end with a plan, a skincare review or a decision to make no changes.
