The Art of Consultation

When it comes to achieving healthy, glowing skin, the most important step isn’t your first laser session or syringe of filler, it’s the consultation. A personalized consultation creates the roadmap for your skincare journey, ensuring every treatment is tailored to your unique needs. During a consultation, an experienced injector evaluates your skin health, facial structure, and lifestyle to design a treatment plan that combines skincare, professional treatments, and injectables for natural, lasting results.

3 key areas to address for the perfect consult:

Skincare:

Healthy skin starts at home. Medical-grade skincare builds resilience against aging, pigmentation, and inflammation. A consultation helps identify the right cleansers, antioxidants, and SPF to strengthen your skin before advanced treatments.

• The BIG three skincare ingredients

  • Antioxidant (Vitamin C) - our favorites are Skinbetter Science Alto Advanced, Revision C+ correcting complex, Barefaced Liquid Gold

  • Retinoid - our favorites are Skinbetter Science Alpha Ret

  • SPF - Opt for a mineral tinted SPF to double as foundation. We love Skinbetter Science Tone Smart SPF, Revision Intellishade, and Colorescience Flex for the perfect no makeup-makeup look

Skin Treatments:

In-office treatments boost results beyond skincare alone. These treatments are often layered with injectables for a comprehensive approach.

• Lasers target pigmentation, redness, and sun damage for a clearer complexion.

  • We love BBL/Moxi and Helix Co2

• Microneedling stimulates collagen, improves texture, and reduces scarring.

  • Pro tip: Add PDGF or PDRN to boost results

Injectables:

An experienced thoughtful injector balances these tools to enhance your features—not change them.

• Botox softens fine lines by relaxing facial muscles.

  • If you’re over age 35 consider adding lower face tox to improve the jawline and any early laxity

• Hyaluronic Acid Fillers restore lost volume and contour, giving a refreshed, youthful look.

  • Consider volume replacement if you’re noticing tired/hollow under-eyes, flattening of the cheeks, smile lines, or a weak profile

• Sculptra works differently, stimulating collagen for gradual, natural improvement over time.

  • Consider this treatment for skin quality and laxity improvements as well as subtle undetectable volume restoration

  • This is the 401K for your face - slowly adding and building over time. Protecting your volume and collagen long term.

The Bottom Line

A thoughtful consultation is more than a quick chat, it’s where your long-term skin strategy begins. By combining customized skincare, lasers, microneedling, Botox, HA filler, and Sculptra, your injector can create a plan that delivers radiant, confident results.
