The key to Consultations

The Key to Consultations

Consultations are not really a new concept, they have been around for a while and for good reason. Our skin is the largest organ in the body and it can take a thorough investigation, client/therapist trust and personal dedication to create positive change. At Skin Wellness clinic we have a specific policy in place for all new clients to require a consultation before any treatments are performed or skincare is prescribed, so we can offer you the best skin care possible.

But why is a consultation so important?

Well you wouldn’t buy a house without doing an inspection or buy a car without a test drive, so why leave your skin to chance.

At Skin Wellness Clinic we pride ourselves on education, results and realism. We tailor every skin journey to your individual finances, how much you are able and willing to commit and an approximate timeline of change. We are willing to work with you, so asking questions is how we achieve your skin goals.

Some of the most frequent questions include:

How often do I come in for a skin treatment?

Well, this is always up to you. We will guide you at your first visit, but your finances and skin concerns/changes will determine this.

This is what I’m using on my skin, what do you think?

In our opinion, some skincare is made for change, others are not. But we are able to work in any changes, educate you on ingredients, and prescribe to the individual needs. Then we can start to slowly alter your products as we build our skin routine.

I’ve had treatments elsewhere before, how do you treat differently?

We don’t set unrealistic expectations. We discuss with you at each appointment, how your skin is progressing, any interfering factors since your last appointment, if there have been any set backs and what your skin requires at the next appointment.

We don’t “guess” how many treatments you’ll need and how often you’ll be needing them. This is something we discuss together at each visit. Skin is like a rollercoaster ride, it will go up and down on occasion and there are so many things can make this happen (stress, diet, health issues, lifestyle, gut health, hormones, vitamin deficiencies etc). So, we try to support you as much as we can, physically and emotionally throughout these and offer consultations with our partnering naturopath.

As a clinic that specialize in skin wellness and concerns of acne, aging, pigmentation etc, learning about you, allows us to learn about your skin.

As a good therapist once said,

“Not all gut issues may be shown on the skin, but all skin issues start within the gut.”

So, take the plunge, book your consultation and let the skin journey begin.
