Good questions for a med spa consultation

Questions that tell you a lot

How a provider answers matters as much as what they say.

• Who performs this, and what is their license?
• How were they trained for this treatment?
• What device or product is it, specifically?
• What does a series involve?
• What aftercare do I need?
• What happens if something goes wrong?
• What is the total cost before I start?

A short prep list

1. Your medications, including vitamins and supplements.
2. Health conditions and any recent changes.
3. Allergies and past reactions to products or treatments.
4. Past cosmetic procedures, with rough dates.
5. Your questions for the provider.
6. 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.

Red flags worth noticing

1. You are told a special offer ends today.
2. No one asks about your health history.
3. Treatment is offered before any consultation.
4. You cannot get a clear answer about who will perform it or what license they hold.
5. The cost changes or will not be put in writing.

Any one of these is a good reason to slow down. State boards in North Carolina let you look up a license online.
