Your Medical Aesthetics Consultation in London: What to Ask

You can attend an aesthetics consultation with a concern rather than a treatment in mind. “I notice this line when I smile” or “I have old acne scars that catch the light” gives the practitioner something specific to assess. A consultation at MHB on Regent Street in Mayfair can also be used to decide whether to leave an area untreated.

What is useful to bring?

List medicines, allergies, previous procedures and any problems with healing. For past injectables, bring the product name, area and approximate date if you know them. A photograph from before a change appeared may help, particularly if it is hard to see in the clinic’s lighting.

Who will actually perform the procedure?

Ask to meet or speak with the person responsible for treatment and discuss their experience with your particular concern. Ask how a recommendation would change if you have a tight recovery window or have had an unwanted result before. If several options are mentioned, ask why the first recommendation fits better than the others.

What should you leave with?

Request the proposed treatment area, price, aftercare arrangements, likely limitations and a point of contact in writing. If a package is proposed, ask which appointments and reviews are included. Take time to read the plan at home before agreeing to a procedure, particularly if the suggested approach differs from the one you expected.
