Your first consultation: what actually happens

Before you arrive

Bring the products you actually use, not the ones you meant to. A photograph of your own face in good light from a year or two ago tells us more than any description can, and two or three images of results you admire tell us what “natural” means to you — the word means something different to almost everyone who uses it. Just as useful: a picture of a result you did not like. Knowing what you want to avoid narrows a plan faster than knowing what you want.

The conversation

We begin with history — what you have had done, what you liked, what you would not repeat, and anything medical that bears on treatment, including medications, allergies and prior reactions. Then goals, in your own words rather than off a menu. We ask about budget plainly, because a plan you cannot sustain is not a plan. And we will tell you what we would rather not treat, or not treat yet: some concerns are better answered by skincare, by sequence, by time, or by nothing at all.

A good plan begins with what we choose not to do.

The plan

You leave with something written. It names the treatments, the order, and the reasoning — because sequence matters more than most people expect. Structure is considered before surface, and anything that settles or softens over weeks is given room to do so before the next step is layered onto it. Most plans are staged across months rather than performed in a single sitting, which spreads the cost, spreads the adjustment, and leaves every step assessable on its own before the next one is booked.

What it costs

The consultation is complimentary and carries no obligation — you are welcome to leave with the plan and take it elsewhere. Treatment pricing is given plainly, in writing, before anything is scheduled; nothing is quoted for the first time on the day of your visit. If the plan changes at a follow-up, the price changes with it in front of you rather than afterwards.
