The aesthetic consultation is the main entrance of the patient into the aesthetics clinic. It is through a careful and honest consultation that the doctor can determine the best treatments for the patient according to their goals, needs and budget. The doctor is then able to devise a personalised treatment plan for the patient.
How is the aesthetic consultation done?
The initial aesthetic consultation is done in an individual room with the doctor, which allows private and uninterrupted discussion, where the necessary data for future aesthetic procedures are collected. You must be honest with your doctor about your expectations
Anamnesis
Anamnesis is a set of questions, a kind of “interview”, in which the doctor addresses the patient, to understand their concerns. Past medical history, allergies, physical disabilities must be recorded and also include the patient’s profile and what they want to achieve with the treatment sought.
Physical Tests
After the anamnesis, the professional begin the physical examination of the client, in which he evaluates the skin, facial analysis and other regions of the body that will be addressed in the treatment. At the Aesthetic clinics you can get these tests done.
Budget
Combinations of treatments may be required in a plan. There also could be different options to obtain the same results; the budget of the patients must be of consideration.
Photographic register
This step is complementary from when the patient adheres to the proposed treatment, which is of great value for aesthetic evaluation. The professional must record in photos of the treatments that will be performed, before, during and after the procedures. Thus, the professional and the client can follow the evolution and make comparisons from beginning to the end.

There are so many possibilities and novelties in aesthetics medicine, (mainly in the area of cosmetology ), that it is difficult not to be enchanted with everything that this medical speciality can do for our health, beauty and self-esteem.
But sometimes it is worth remembering fundamental aspects for the ethical practice of medicine – and, of course, dermatology does not escape this rule.
