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?
Things to have on hand
Your health history matters for nearly every med spa treatment. Some medications, conditions and recent sun exposure can change what is suitable, so a provider needs to know about them.
Before your consultation, list your medications and supplements, any allergies, and past treatments. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy, mention it. Bring your questions too, and ask the provider to write down the total cost.
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 Oregon state board that covers that profession. If something feels off, it is fine to walk away.
A licensed provider decides what is suitable for you. Send a request to begin that conversation.
