Considering Your First Aesthetic Treatment?
If you’re new to aesthetics and unsure where to begin, you’re not alone. At London Professional Aesthetics (LPA), we know that exploring treatments such as Botox, lip fillers, or Profhilo can feel overwhelming.
Many first-time patients think they need to know which treatment they want before booking or worry that they’ll be pressured into treatment on the day. At LPA, there is no pressure—just expert guidance, a personalised plan, and the reassurance that you are in safe, qualified medical hands. Consider this your introduction to what to expect at your first treatment.
What Happens in a Personalised Aesthetic Consultation?
The starting point is an initial consultation. It’s relaxed, informative, and focused entirely on you. During your appointment, our medical practitioner will:
Discuss your medical history and health background – including allergies, medications, and lifestyle factors.
Listen to your goals – whether it’s reducing fine lines, refreshing tired skin, or enhancing your lips.
Assess your skin and facial structure – so we can recommend treatments that will best suit you. We will also assess your skin type with regard to covering all treatments that may be of benefit, including Botox.
Explain your treatment options – from anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers to rejuvenating treatments such as skin boosters and Profhilo. You will have the opportunity to discuss your concerns and have the opportunity to ask any questions.
Provide a bespoke treatment plan – emailed to you afterwards with pricing, so you can take your time to decide. This allows you to take the time to understand and ensure the best possible pathway for your aesthetic journey.
The consultation process is not just a box-ticking exercise; this is our opportunity to discover who you are and ultimately your aesthetic goals and how they align with the aesthetic treatment that will best meet your needs. This process ensures that you leave your consultation with clear information and a plan that aligns with your goals, budget, and preferences.
When Should You Start Aesthetic Treatments?
There’s no single “right time” to begin aesthetics—it depends on your genetics, lifestyle, and how your skin is ageing. Every patient is different, and your aesthetic practitioner is there to help you build the treatment journey that leads to natural-looking results. At your first appointment, you can discuss your goals, whether you’re exploring non-surgical options like Botox and dermal fillers or you simply want guidance about your face and skin. It may be that you are simply looking to maintain and plan, or you would like to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Factors that influence when you might benefit from treatments include:
Sun exposure and UV damage.
Nutrition and hydration.
Stress and lifestyle choices.
Family history of ageing.
The most important factor is: how do you feel about yourself? If you’ve noticed changes such as wrinkles, tired-looking skin, or loss of volume that affect your confidence, it may be time to explore your options. A consultation to discuss your concerns and goals, have a professional recommend the best options and explain any potential risks will allow you to make an informed decision about your treatment.
Avoid comparing yourself to friends or relying on social media portrayals. The best way to get accurate, personalised advice is through a consultation with a qualified aesthetics practitioner. A thorough consultation will lead you to identify all of the issues that are bothering you
