Questions that tell you a lot
How a provider answers matters as much as what they say.
- Who performs this, and what is their license?
- How were they trained for this treatment?
- What device or product is it, specifically?
- What does a series involve?
- What aftercare do I need?
- What happens if something goes wrong?
- What is the total cost before I start?
What a provider will want to know
Expect questions about your health, so have the answers ready:
- Medical conditions and recent illnesses.
- Prescription medications, supplements and topical products.
- Allergies and sensitivities.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Previous cosmetic treatments.
Then add your own list of questions, such as who will perform the treatment and what the total cost will be. A licensed provider uses this information to decide what is suitable for you.
When to pause
A consultation should feel like an exchange of information. If it feels like a sales pitch, take a step back.
Watch for pressure to commit on the spot, a treatment offered with no consultation, unclear answers about who does the work, or a reluctance to write down the total cost. Each of these is a reason to wait. To look up a license, search the website of the relevant California state licensing board by the person's name.
