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?
A short prep list
- Your medications, including vitamins and supplements.
- Health conditions and any recent changes.
- Allergies and past reactions to products or treatments.
- Past cosmetic procedures, with rough dates.
- Your questions for the provider.
- A notebook or phone to record answers and the quoted cost.
Having this ready helps a licensed provider decide what is suitable for you, and it means you are less likely to leave with an unanswered question.
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 Colorado state board that covers that profession. If something feels off, it is fine to walk away.
