Establish the diagnosis and goal
Describe the one concern you most want addressed. Ask what the clinician sees, which listed service fits it, and what that service cannot change. The clinic’s menu is broad, from XERF and laser procedures to contouring and PRF. Ask for the exact device or product, the treated area, and the evidence that supports it for your goal.
Check clinician and safety details
Confirm who examines you, who performs the procedure, and how a complication is handled after hours. For filler, the FDA recommends a licensed, experienced injector and product-specific patient labeling. For laser, ask about settings for your skin tone and prior reactions. Disclose medicines, recent treatments, allergies, and relevant health issues before a same-day procedure is considered.
Leave with a complete quote
Request the number of visits, expected review date, downtime or aftercare, itemized price, package terms, and maintenance estimate. Ask what an acceptable partial response would mean and whether you can pause after the first step. Take the written information home if you need more time to understand how the treatment works or weigh the risks before giving consent.
Questions and answers
Must I decide during the consultation?
No. Ask for a written plan and quote so you can compare options and decide after reviewing the product and risk information.
