Before you agree to anything, ask
Use these to compare providers too.
- Who exactly will do my treatment?
- What is their license, and can I look it up?
- What training do they have with this device or product?
- Is this treatment suitable for my skin type and health history?
- How many visits will I likely need?
- What aftercare do you recommend?
- What is your plan if there is a complication?
- What will the whole thing cost, all in?
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.
Reasons to wait
It is your face, your skin and your money. You can leave a consultation without booking, and you can come back later.
Slow down if there is pressure to book the same day, if no one offers a proper consultation, if you get vague answers about who will perform the treatment, or if the provider will not give you the cost in writing. To look up a license, ask for the person's full name and license type, then search the Florida state board for that profession.
Ask your questions first. A local provider can contact you by phone, text or email.
