Complimentary Skin Consultation

A skin consultation is a focused, one-on-one meeting with a licensed aesthetic provider to evaluate your skin and discuss your aesthetic goals. During this appointment the provider performs a visual assessment, reviews relevant medical and skincare history, and listens to your concerns to understand priorities. The objective is to clarify treatment options and outline a personalized approach that aligns with your goals and lifestyle.

This session is designed to be informative and collaborative so you can make confident decisions about next steps. The provider will explain possible procedures, timelines, and what to expect during recovery when applicable. You will also have time to ask safety questions and to express any preferences or hesitations before moving forward.

You will typically meet with our aesthetician, Mikaela, who leads the skin evaluation and treatment discussion. Mikaela will take a clinical approach, combining observational assessment with a review of your skin history to recommend suitable options. If your case requires dental or medical input, the aesthetician consults with the dental team to ensure coordinated care.

The office of Fay Hu General Dentistry emphasizes teamwork between the aesthetic and dental clinicians so facial balance and oral health are considered together. If needed, Dr. Hu or another clinician may join the conversation to address overlapping concerns related to facial anatomy or dental treatments. This collaborative model helps produce cohesive recommendations that respect both skin and dental health.

Consultations are scheduled as brief, focused visits to assess your concerns and outline potential care pathways. Expect a thorough but efficient review that includes your medical history, current skincare routine, and a visual skin analysis. The provider may take photographs for documentation and to help explain suggested approaches.

After the assessment, the aesthetician will discuss appropriate treatment options, suggested sequencing, and any immediate steps you can take to support skin health. You will receive clear guidance on follow-up appointments, whether that means scheduling treatments, arranging a dental review, or returning for monitoring. The goal is to leave the visit with an actionable plan and a timeline tailored to your needs.

Bringing relevant medical information helps the aesthetician make safe, personalized recommendations. Useful items include a list of current medications and supplements, details of recent dermatologic or cosmetic procedures, and any known allergies or sensitivities. If you have recent photos that show how your skin looked before a condition began, those can be very helpful in understanding progression.

Also bring a list of your regular skincare products so the provider can assess compatibility with proposed treatments. Sharing information about systemic conditions, such as autoimmune disorders or pregnancy, is important because it can affect treatment choices. Full disclosure allows the team to avoid contraindicated options and to plan treatments that prioritize your overall health.

The consultation is appropriate for a wide range of common concerns, including wrinkles, volume loss, uneven texture, hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, and redness or rosacea. The provider will evaluate the severity and likely causes of each concern to determine realistic treatment pathways. Some issues are best managed with a combination of in-office procedures and a targeted home regimen.

When a condition falls outside the scope of aesthetic practice, the provider will recommend referral to a dermatologist or specialist for diagnosis and medical management. The consultation prioritizes patient safety and effective outcomes, so recommendations focus on evidence-based options that match each individual assessment. You will receive a clear explanation of expected results and the number of visits that may be needed to achieve them.

Safety is a priority for every skin consultation, beginning with a thorough medical history and evaluation of potential contraindications. Our aesthetician follows established clinical protocols, including infection control, informed consent, and documentation of any relevant allergies or medications. If a procedure carries specific risks, those will be discussed in plain language so you understand what to expect.

The aesthetician practices under the clinical oversight of the dental team and follows state licensure and training standards for aesthetic services. When appropriate, the provider will consult with Dr. Hu to align recommendations with broader health and dental considerations. This collaborative oversight helps ensure treatments are both appropriate and safely administered.

Following the consultation you will receive a recommended plan that outlines suggested procedures, sequencing, and basic pre- and post-care instructions. The plan may include noninvasive options, in-office procedures, or coordination with dental treatment depending on your goals. The aesthetician will explain expected recovery times and any steps you should take before your first treatment visit.

Scheduling, follow-up, and monitoring are tailored to your needs, and the team will provide written or verbal instructions to support a smooth recovery. If multiple treatments are recommended, the provider will discuss optimal timing to maximize safety and effectiveness. Ongoing communication ensures adjustments can be made as your skin responds to treatment.

To make the most of your consultation, avoid heavy makeup on the day of your visit so the provider can see your skin clearly. It is also helpful to avoid new topical products or recent in-office procedures that might temporarily alter skin appearance unless those are part of your medical history. Bringing a list of products, medications, and any previous procedure records helps the provider assess your skin’s baseline.

If you have specific concerns about allergies, medication interactions, or recent illnesses, mention those when you schedule or at the start of the consultation. The provider will ask targeted questions to identify any limitations or precautions needed for certain procedures. Clear preparation leads to safer recommendations and a more productive appointment.
