Feeling a little nervous before your first med spa appointment is completely normal. Many of our clients tell us they were nervous too, and that the team made them feel comfortable right away. Here is exactly what happens at Aesthetic Beauty Lab, so there are no surprises.
Before your visit
- Book online with the Book Now button or call us. Not sure what to book? Try Design My Aesthetic Plan or the laser hair removal quiz.
- Complete your intake forms, including your health history and any medications you take.
- Let us know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, since some treatments are not done during that time.
- Planning Botox or filler? Read our Botox prep tips first.
Your consultation
Your visit starts with a conversation. Your provider asks about your goals, reviews your health history and explains your options, including what results to expect, any downtime and the total cost, before anything is done. You never have to decide on the spot.
A good provider will tell you when a treatment is not right for you. Our goal is natural results and a plan that fits your skin, your budget and your timeline.
During your treatment
Your provider walks you through each step as it happens. For many injectable and skin treatments, comfort measures are available, and you can ask questions at any point. Most appointments take 30 to 60 minutes.
After your visit
You will leave with aftercare instructions for your treatment and a plan for your next steps. If anything comes up after your appointment, call us. Our team is here to help.
Questions to ask at your first visit
- Who will be doing my treatment, and what is their training?
- Which product or device will you use, and why?
- How much will my treatment cost in total?
- Is there any downtime, and when will I see results?
- How often will I need to come back to keep my results?
