New Patient Consultations at SkinFirst
Why do I need a New Patient Consultation
Your New Patient Consultation is an essential first step in your treatment journey, designed to ensure everything we do is safe, appropriate, and tailored to you.
For treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections (Botox), a consultation is required before we can prescribe. This means your treatment cannot be carried out on the same day, as there is a mandatory period between consultation and prescribing. This process is in place to protect you, giving you the time and clarity to make a fully informed decision.
During your consultation, we take a detailed medical history and carry out a comprehensive assessment of your skin. This includes advanced skin analysis to identify underlying concerns that may not be visible on the surface.
From here, we create a personalised treatment plan based on your individual needs, goals, and suitability. This ensures that any treatment you choose is both effective and clinically appropriate.
Put simply, the consultation allows us to treat you as an individual, not a standard protocol. It is a key part of achieving results that are considered, natural, and safe.
Why do I have to pay for my consultation?
Your New Patient Consultation is a dedicated clinical appointment, not a brief overview. It involves a detailed medical assessment, advanced skin analysis, and the time required to create a personalised treatment plan based on your individual needs.
The £50 consultation fee reflects the level of time, expertise, and technology involved in this process. It allows us to allocate sufficient time for each patient and maintain a high standard of care without compromise.
If you choose to go ahead with treatment, your consultation fee is fully redeemable against your appointment, so you are not paying anything additional overall.
In essence, the consultation is an investment in getting your treatment plan right from the outset, ensuring safe, considered, and effective results.
Frequently Asked Questions?
Can I have treatment on the same day as my consultation?
For treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections (Botox), this is not possible. A consultation must take place first, followed by a separate prescribing step with a mandatory waiting period. This ensures your treatment is safe and appropriate.
How long does the consultation take?
Your appointment typically lasts around 30 to 45 minutes. This allows time for a full medical history, skin assessment, and discussion of your goals.
What happens during the consultation?
We carry out a detailed assessment of your skin and overall suitability for treatment, including advanced skin analysis. You will receive a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Do I have to go ahead with treatment after my consultation?
No. There is no obligation to proceed. The consultation is designed to give you clear, professional guidance so you can decide what feels right for you.
Is the consultation fee refundable?
The £50 fee is redeemable against your next treatment, meaning you are not out of pocket if you choose to go ahead.
