Why Is the First Consultation Important in Medical Aesthetics?
The first consultation is an opportunity for your physician to listen to you, understand your expectations and present suitable treatment options (Botox, filler, mesotherapy, PRP, chemical peel, etc.). Proper preparation and the right questions ensure a productive first appointment. This guide summarizes what you need to know for your initial consultation.
Pre-Appointment Preparation
Note down any medications you are taking (especially blood thinners, aspirin), your allergy history and pregnancy/breastfeeding status. Share your previous aesthetic procedures (Botox, filler, laser, etc.) and their dates. Mention any conditions affecting your face (rosacea, cold sores, scarring). You may bring reference photos; however, realistic expectations aligned with your own facial proportions are important.
What Is Discussed During the First Consultation?
Your concerns (wrinkles, volume loss, pigmentation, hair loss, etc.), goals and budget range are discussed. The physician evaluates your face or the relevant area and recommends appropriate procedures (single or combination). Duration, number of sessions, recovery time and potential side effects are explained.
Pricing and Quotation
Prices are typically provided on a personalized basis after the examination. Package sessions or combination treatments may offer discounts. Exact pricing and payment options should be clarified during the consultation.
Conclusion
Open communication and realistic expectations during the first consultation form the foundation of satisfying results. For information on which procedures are postponed during pregnancy and breastfeeding, please refer to our pregnancy and aesthetics article.
