How to Prepare for an Aesthetic Consultation

You do not need to arrive knowing the name of the treatment you want. A useful consultation starts with what you notice and the change you hope to achieve. Preparing a few details helps the clinician assess your concern and explain the relevant options.

Describe your goal

Think about what bothers you, when you notice it and what you would prefer to preserve. A reference photo can help communicate a preference, but another person’s result cannot be copied onto a different face. It is also useful to mention an upcoming event so that recovery and timing can be discussed.

Bring your treatment history

List previous injections, skin treatments and surgery, including approximate dates and products if known. Mention any lingering swelling, sensitivity or other problems. If you have records, bring them to the visit rather than entering detailed medical information into a general website form.

Share relevant health information

Tell the clinician about health conditions, allergies, medicines and supplements, as well as pregnancy or breastfeeding where relevant. Do not stop prescribed medicines to prepare for a cosmetic treatment without advice from the clinician responsible for them.

Ask about the whole plan

Ask why a treatment is being proposed, what alternatives exist and what happens if you choose not to proceed. Discuss recovery, possible complications, follow-up and the full cost. If a product or device is involved, ask what it is and why it suits the intended use.

Understand the booking process

At Clinica Nefertiti, consultation requests can be submitted through the website or discussed with the team on WhatsApp. A website request is not a confirmed appointment until the clinic team responds. The consultation is complimentary and no booking deposit is required.

A good next step is one you understand. Request a consultation at our Jumeirah 3 clinic and bring your questions with you.
