Your first consultation: what to expect and what to ask

A first consultation is not a sales conversation. It is a medical appointment, and the most useful thing you can bring is honesty about what bothers you.

What happens

• We talk through your concerns, history and goals.
• A doctor examines your skin and, where needed, uses imaging.
• You leave with a plan, a rough timeline and no pressure to commit.

Questions worth asking

How many sessions will I need? What is the recovery like? What happens if I do nothing? Good answers are specific, and a good clinic is comfortable being asked.

Wear your usual day-to-day routine, and bring a list of any products or medicines you use. That is genuinely all the preparation you need.
