Your consultation question list
Print it, save it to your phone, or copy it into a note.
- What are your qualifications, and who else might treat me?
- Where did you train for this procedure?
- Which product or device do you use?
- What should I expect over a full series?
- How should I care for the area afterward?
- What side effects are common, and which are rare?
- How do you handle problems if they come up?
- What will I pay in total, and is it in writing?
Your consultation notes
It helps to treat a consultation like any appointment where you need to make a decision. Bring notes in, and leave with notes.
Going in, have your health history, medications, allergies and past treatments written down, plus your questions. Coming out, write down who you met, what they suggested, the device or product named, the aftercare, and the total cost they quoted. Notes make it much easier to compare providers or sleep on it.
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 Idaho 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.
