Questions to Ask Before an Aesthetic Treatment

Dr. Ethan Cole

6 min read

Make informed decisions by discussing suitability, risks, recovery and realistic outcomes.

Aesthetic treatments can be a positive part of a skin journey when they are chosen with care. Asking the right questions helps you decide with confidence.

Is this suitable for me?

Ask how your skin type, history and goals affect suitability, and whether there are alternatives worth considering.

What does recovery look like?

Understand the expected downtime, common side effects and how to care for your skin afterward.

What results are realistic?

Outcomes vary between individuals. A thoughtful practitioner will set clear expectations and explain how progress will be reviewed.
