Why do I ask you to fill out a consultation form before getting a facial treatment?
An important part of a facial or other facial treatment is my Client Consultation Form. It’s usually one of the first lines of communication to learning about your skin. Besides your name and address there are important questions that need to be answered before even looking at your skin under a mag lamp. I will probably ask you more questions too.
Why?
Because I will need to make an accurate assessment to determine how to best care for your skin. I also need you to be honest with your answers. Also, the information that I ask you to fill out is completely confidential too.
Is your skin dry. dehydrated, oily, acneic? What does it feel and look like at the end of the day? Your skin can be different at the end of the day.
Do you smoke? Your skin will probably tell me if you do.
Do you pick at pimples? I can usually tell if someone Is picking!
How often are you cleansing your skin? A lot of people are just cleansing once a day.
Medications? They can affect your skin too.
Diet. How much water are you drinking a day? Coffee? Alcohol. Sugar? Are you eating a healthy diet or a junk eater? All of these will affect your skin, for the good or the bad.
What are you using for home care? Why do I need to know that?
1) To see how they are working with your skin, or to see the results of these products on our skin. They could be causing your skin problems.
2) Determines your level of dedication to your skin. Are you a soap and water user. Or a cleanser, toner, moisturizer, eye cream user?
3) helps me with recommendations for your skin.
Makeup? Asking you what kinds of makeup you use..because it may give me an answer as to why you are having skin problems. I may even ask you about what hair products you are using!
I also like it when you ask me questions!
And, importantly…
Your concerns. What is bothering you about your skin? What or where do you want to see changes? Fine lines? Pimples? Wrinkles? Sagging skin?
And, top on the list..
What realistic goals or changes do you want to have happen to your skin? How do you want your skin to look and feel in the future?
So, all of this information helps me determine the best course of action I will take when doing a facial or treatment. What products I will use during that facial and how I can help you reach the goals we have for your skin,
And, honestly it also makes me feel really good seeing you happy with the changes I your skin, and knowing that I helped get it there!
