Making the decision to explore aesthetic treatments is a big step. For many, the most nerve-wracking part isn't the treatment itself, but the initial consultation. What will be asked? Will I be pressured? What if I'm not a good candidate?
At DG Medical Aesthetics, our consultation is the most important part of your journey. It’s where our "whisper, not shout" philosophy begins. As a CQC registered, nurse-led clinic, our process is medical, thorough, and designed entirely around you.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to what you can expect.
When you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by our clinical team (Donna or Kerry). We are a family-run clinic, not a high-turnover franchise. We will sit down with you in a private, comfortable room and begin with the most important document: your medical history. This is a comprehensive review of your health, any medications you're taking, and any allergies. As registered nurses, your safety is our non-negotiable priority.
This is your time to talk. We’ll ask you, "What are your concerns?" and "What are your goals?" We want to hear, in your own words, what you see and how you feel. Are you "tired of looking tired"? Are you worried about lines around your eyes? Are you just "feeling flat"? This is a non-judgmental, open conversation.
Next, we will perform a full facial analysis. We may ask you to make expressions (like frowning, smiling, or raising your eyebrows) so we can see how your muscles move. We will assess your skin quality, laxity, and facial symmetry. This clinical assessment allows us to understand the underlying cause of your concern, not just the symptom.
This is where we co-create your treatment plan. We will explain why you are seeing what you're seeing and what the full range of treatment options are. We might discuss:
We will always explain the benefits, the risks, the potential downtime, and the costs. We will show you "before and after" photos of our work, not stock images.
We will never pressure you to have a treatment on the same day as your first consultation. We want you to go home, armed with all the information, and feel 100% confident in your decision.
Our goal is for you to leave your consultation feeling educated, empowered, and reassured, whether you decide to proceed with a treatment or not.
