What is assessed
The doctor reviews movement, proportions, skin quality, asymmetry, scars, pigmentation or hair-loss pattern according to the reason for the visit. Previous injectables, medications, allergies, pregnancy plans and important medical conditions should be disclosed.
- Your main concern and desired degree of change
- Relevant anatomy and skin or scalp findings
- Treatment alternatives and limits
- Downtime, aftercare and warning signs
A staged plan can be safer and more natural
Trying to correct every concern at one appointment can create overtreatment and make it difficult to judge what produced each change. A staged plan allows reassessment and protects facial identity.
Before your visit
Bring the names and dates of previous injections, procedures and medications when available. Unfiltered older photographs can help explain natural facial structure and recent change. Do not stop prescribed medicine without the prescribing doctor’s advice.
Frequently asked questions
01Do I need to know which treatment I want?
No. Start with the concern and desired outcome; the consultation should determine whether a treatment is appropriate.
02Can treatment happen on the same day?
Sometimes, when the assessment is complete and there is no reason to delay. Some cases need more information, preparation or a separate appointment.
03Should I bring old photos?
They can be useful for understanding baseline proportions, ageing changes or the timing of hair loss.
