Data has revealed in a poll that 65% of people polled regret having cosmetic surgery, and these statistics are alarming. When speaking with clients about their aesthetic fillers, it’s incredibly important to have a consultation and outline their goals. But what should you ask?
Aesthetics Expert at Aesthetics 365 Nye Jones has provided an expert comment explaining what questions to ask as a practitioner, and the reasons why.
“What are your aesthetic goals?
- This will allow you as the practitioner to get a better understanding of what specific outcomes the lenient is looking to achieve, whether this is more volume in the lips, reducing wrinkles or a more defined jawline.
Do you have any medical conditions or allergies I should know about?
- In an effort to minimise any potential risk or contraindications, such as allergies to certain substances, autoimmune conditions or prior adverse reactions to fillers.
Have you had any previous aesthetic procedures?
- This will help you assess past experiences with aesthetic treatments, including any fillers, Botox or surgeries, and to understand how your client's skin and body have responded.
Are you currently taking any medications, supplements, or herbs?
- It’s important to identify any potential interaction or risk factors, such as blood thinners that could increase bruising or bleeding.
What is your pain tolerance, and how comfortable are you with needles?
- Get an insight into your client's comfort level and plan accordingly for any pain relief or numbing cream they may need during their procedure.
What are your expectations for the outcome of this treatment?
- This will help you align the client’s expectations with realistic outcomes, helping to prevent disappointment or dissatisfaction with the finished look.
Are you aware of the potential risks and side effects of fillers?
- This is to ensure that the client is well informed of the possible risks, side effects, and complications, allowing them to make an educated decision. ”
