The focus on our new patient consultation is where it should be: on you. This is our first opportunity to get to know everything about you: who you are, what your hopes and dreams are, what you envision for yourself. It’s also our chance to introduce you to what is available to you. The initial consultation will include the following steps:
STEP ONE: Initial Discussion
This is where we get to know each other. We engage in a discussion about what most concerns you, from an aesthetic perspective, and what you hope to achieve.
STEP TWO: Medical History and Psychological Assessment
We will take your medical history, notating all of your current medications and medical conditions, as well as your family history, past medical conditions and other treatments you may have tried.
It’s equally important to explore your reasons for seeking treatment and understand whether you are psychologically prepared for the treatment process and the potential results. Even positive changes require adjustment. Being prepared for the reactions of your friends and family is one piece of it, but also your own reactions to the new you in the mirror. Changing how you look often changes your options and choices in life, and it’s important to understand everything that comes with that.
STEP THREE: Lifestyle Factors
Be prepared for frank questions about your lifestyle, including everything from your skin care routine, sun exposure, to your diet and exercise routine. We may discuss issues like smoking and alcohol consumption so that we understand all the issues that might impact your skin and any aesthetic treatments you choose.
This is the stage of the new patient consultation where we assess your skin type, analyze your facial structure and identify your issues of concern, from wrinkles and fine lines to pigmentation issues, enlarged pores or sagging, loose skin. This is where we conduct our customized 3D and photo skin analysis, as well as a full face and neck consultation.
Following your initial consultation, we also offer a special skin care consultation to even more throughly evaluate your skin issues. We can help put together a comprehensive skin health plan for your face and your body to help you love the skin you’re in.
Based on your initial consultation, your provider will recommend specific treatment options and recommendations. Your personalized treatment plan will be tailored to your individual needs and goals. Each treatment recommended will be explained in detail, including a discussion of potential benefits and expected results, as well as possible side effects and risks of the treatment. We will also discuss how the treatment works and why we believe it will work best for your needs.
All of our patients receive a clear breakdown of the costs associated with the recommended treatments.
Understanding how essential proper aftercare and follow-up are to achieving the best results is crucial. We will discuss specific instructions on how you should care for your skin following the recommended treatments, including how to protect your skin from the sun – and what products you should use and which products you should avoid.
Follow-up appointments are an essential aspect of proper aftercare. You may need to schedule follow-up appointments to ensure you're healing properly and to assess the outcomes of any new treatments. It’s also important to monitor your progress and discuss next steps to meet your goals. It’s especially important that we help you understand that results vary and may take time to become fully noticeable.
At New Life Aesthetics, we always offer open communication and will frankly discuss with you any issues you want to explore. We are open to your questions and concerns throughout the treatment process – and especially at your new patient consultation. We want you to have realistic expectations about what can be achieved, and also, to understand the incredible possibilities modern aesthetics can offer.
The future is yours – step into your potential and be everything you can be. Call ☎ (919) 521-8282 or contact us online to schedule your new patient consultation at New Life Aesthetics in Raleigh, NC!
