Good questions to bring
You are allowed to ask all of these. Most providers expect them.
- Who performs the treatment, and are they supervised by anyone?
- What license and training do they have?
- What product or device is used, and where does it come from?
- How do you decide if this is suitable for me?
- What does a typical course of treatment look like?
- What aftercare is needed?
- What do you do if I have a reaction or a problem afterward?
- What is the total price, including any follow-up visits?
What to bring or write down
A little preparation makes a consultation more useful. Before you go, write down:
- Any medical conditions, past or current.
- Medications and supplements you take.
- Allergies, including to anesthetics or skin products.
- Past cosmetic treatments and when you had them.
- What you hope to talk about, in your own words.
Bring your list of questions and a way to take notes.
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 South Carolina state boards. A short search before you book is worth the time.
One form, one local provider, and your questions answered before any decision.
