What happens at the first examination, and how is the decision made?
At the first examination your goals are discussed, you are asked about your medical history and medication, and your skin and facial structure are assessed. The options that may be considered, possible side effects and limits are then explained; whether a treatment suits you is decided not by message or photo but only after this in-person examination.
What is discussed at the examination?
Your goals are discussed, you are asked about your medical history and medication, and your skin and facial structure are assessed. The options that may be considered, possible side effects and limits are then explained. Only at this stage is it decided whether a treatment suits you; if it does, treatment may take place the same day, although sometimes it is better to wait.
Can a message or photo replace the examination?
No. You do not need to share detailed medical information in your first message; illnesses, medication and test results are discussed at the examination. Messaging is for scheduling. A photo or a written description does not replace an examination of your skin and facial structure.
How do I request an appointment?
Use the WhatsApp button or the contact form on this website. Mentioning what you are interested in and the dates that suit you makes it easier to find a suitable examination time. These channels are the same for everyone; there is no separate application process for patients who live abroad.
