A short list of questions for your provider

What to ask at your consultation

A provider who is comfortable with these questions is a good sign.

• Is the person treating me licensed in Delaware, and for what?
• How much experience do they have with this treatment?
• What is the name of the device or product, and is it the one I will get every time?
• What does a full series look like from start to finish?
• What should I do at home in the days after treatment?
• If I have a reaction, who do I call, and when?
• Can you give me the total cost in writing?

Come prepared

Providers ask a lot of questions at a consultation, and it is easy to forget something in the moment. Write the main points down beforehand.

Include your health history, every medication and supplement you take, any allergies, and any previous treatments such as peels, laser or injectables. Note anything you are worried about. Then add your own questions, such as who will perform the treatment and what it will cost in total.

Pause if you see these

A consultation that goes well usually leaves you with clear answers and no rush. Pause if instead you get:

• A push to pay a deposit or book on the spot.
• Treatment offered with no consultation.
• Fuzzy answers about who performs it and their license.
• A refusal to give the total cost in writing.

You can look up licenses through the Delaware state boards. A short search before you book is worth the time.
