What happens at a first med spa visit?

If you have never been to a med spa, the first question is simple: what actually happens when you walk in?

It should begin with a consultation

The downbeach.com article on first visits says: "A first visit to any reputable medical spa should begin with a consultation, and that consultation should be substantive rather than a sales pitch in disguise."

So expect a conversation first. If the visit opens with a sales push, that is worth noticing.

Cheap, simple preparation

Preparing costs only time. Read a first-timer's account such as GlowUpFinder's what to expect at a first med spa visit and see how a med spa consult is described in San Antonio Woman. Then use 10 questions to ask before your first med spa visit as a list to bring with you.

What stays with the clinician

Whether a treatment is right for you is not a do-it-yourself decision. That judgment belongs to a licensed clinician at the consultation.

Go with your questions written down. Asking the basic ones is exactly what a consultation is for.
