A short list of questions for your provider

Ask these before you book

Clear answers to these make a decision much easier.

• Will a licensed provider see me before any treatment?
• Who gives the treatment, and what is their license?
• What specific training do they have for it?
• What is the device or product, and why do you use it?
• What does a series involve, and how many visits is typical?
• What should aftercare look like?
• If something goes wrong, what happens next?
• Can I have the full cost in writing first?

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.

Pause if you see these

A consultation that goes well usually leaves you with clear answers and no rush. Pause if instead you get:

• A push to pay a deposit or book on the spot.
• Treatment offered with no consultation.
• Fuzzy answers about who performs it and their license.
• A refusal to give the total cost in writing.

You can look up licenses through the Arizona state boards. A short search before you book is worth the time.
