3 Things to Look for When Finding a practitioner for your facial ageing concerns

Facial ageing treatments can transform the confidence of patients. With this in mind, performing these treatments demands an acute mix of scientific knowledge, treatment skill and an innate understanding of how to achieve your desired look.

At +Aesthetics, we pride ourselves on creating age-appropriate results. We carry these principles into every patient appointment and pair our treatment expertise to enhance your natural features, not exacerbate them.

The aesthetics industry has experienced an increase in treatment offerings over the past few years, which means when it comes to choosing your practitioner, there is no shortage of options available, but we’re sad to inform you that not every service is made the same. Often, patients can be enticed by price or convenience but when it comes to treatments that alter the appearance of your key features, we encourage you to prioritise skill and expertise over price.

Today, we’re sharing key qualities to have at the forefront of your mind when selecting your practitioner.

The power of consultation

A consultation can tell you a lot about any aesthetic treatment provider. This is the ultimate opportunity to get to know your practitioner and ensure they’re the best fit for your aesthetic goals. Your consultation prior to treatment should not be fleeting and your treatment provider should feel confident answering any question you have regarding your treatment, the experience and what to expect following it.

Treatments of this kind require more than a certificate on the wall, but the experience to back it up. Don’t be afraid to ask your treatment provider how long they’ve been performing treatments, any past client results they can share with you, the brand of formulations they use during treatments and their recommendations to achieve your aesthetic goals. If you feel that they’re hesitant to provide these insights, or don’t have them available, they may not be the treatment provider for you!

An exceptional consultation should leave you feeling informed, empowered, and excited about any treatment to come and if you’re not getting those vibes from your experience, it’s time to consider a new clinic.

What is their treatment approach?

It’s integral to know your treatment provider’s style and approach to treatment to ensure it is aligned with your aesthetic goals. For us, we’re all about enhancing your natural features and leaving you looking refreshed rather than an overdone or ultra-noticeable result, so we ensure that our patients are aware of our treatment approach during the consultation experience.

If you’re unsure what approach will be right for your aesthetic goals, you should feel confident in asking your treatment provider for their professional recommendation. This is an opportunity for you to ensure they’re not suggesting more than you’re comfortable with or a treatment out of your budget. On the flipside, if you’ve requested more than what your provider feels is necessary, it’s a fantastic sign if they speak up and guide you towards a more appropriate approach.
