What to expect
These roles should be distinguished before choosing a service or treatment package.
A good place to start
For a new or unexplained change, seek an appropriate healthcare assessment. Ask the centre who evaluates the concern, what qualifications they hold and what evidence supports proposed treatments.
What to compare
- Medical versus cosmetic service
- Qualified assessment
- Treatment evidence and costs
Agree on the details
Describe the result you want and any relevant previous treatments. Ask about preparation, upkeep and the full price, including removal or finishing where relevant. Use reference pictures to explain your preferences, not as a promise of identical results.
