What to ask at your consultation
A provider who is comfortable with these questions is a good sign.
- Is the person treating me licensed in Pennsylvania, and for what?
- How much experience do they have with this treatment?
- What is the name of the device or product, and is it the one I will get every time?
- What does a full series look like from start to finish?
- What should I do at home in the days after treatment?
- If I have a reaction, who do I call, and when?
- Can you give me the total cost in writing?
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.
Signs to slow down
Most providers are happy to answer questions and give you time. Be careful if you notice any of these:
- Pressure to book or pay that same day.
- No consultation before treatment.
- Vague answers about who will perform the treatment.
- Unwillingness to put the cost in writing.
You can look up a license with the Pennsylvania state board that covers that profession. If something feels off, it is fine to walk away.
