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?
Write it down first
Memory is unreliable when you are in an unfamiliar room with a lot of new information. A short written list keeps the conversation on track.
Put down your medical conditions, medications and supplements, allergies, and any cosmetic treatments you have had before. Add the questions you care about most. If you have photos of a skin concern that changes over time, you can bring those too.
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 California state boards. A short search before you book is worth the time.
