Injectables: what the consultation checks

A first consultation is not about setting a date. It is about examining, ruling out contraindications, and sometimes saying no.

By Dr Oumnia’s practice1 min read

The request often arrives fully formed: an area, a product, sometimes a photograph. Yet the consultation starts elsewhere — with an examination of the face at rest and in movement, and a series of questions that are anything but formal.

Contraindications are verified, not declared

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, an active skin infection, some autoimmune conditions, certain medications: each of these rules out some or all of the possible procedures. They are checked in consultation, not ticked on a form.

The indication comes before the product

A hollow under the eyes, a marked fold and a loss of cheek volume are not treated in the same place, nor with the same product, and sometimes not at all. A request matching no indication is not carried out — and the refusal is explained.

No procedure on the day

The first consultation ends with a written quote and time to think. That delay is not a commercial precaution: it is the time needed to decide away from the momentum of a conversation.
