How To Find The Right Specialist?

The professional options are vast when seeking cosmetic and medical treatments or procedures.

What should you expect as an industry standard…

With the demand for cosmetic and medical procedures / treatments at an all-time high. We now find ourselves looking at length into the professionals and individuals we are trusting to complete our chosen services.

Having unrestricted access to social media platforms and the internet, makes it easy to view trending procedures and specific treatments – But how do we really know if the treatment or the professional is right for us?

It is important to remember that all cosmetic & medical procedures will vary from person to person – Even with the same professional completing the procedure, exact results will not be guaranteed person to person. A specialist should explain this during your initial consultation, with any risks and questions you have. These decisions and conversations should be had prior to a procedure being carried out.

What’s Next?

Where do you start – The CosmediCheck search directory, will allow you to find approved expert specialists offering cosmetic procedures and treatments.

An initial consultation should follow once communication has been established between client and specialist.

The purpose of this consultation is to discuss:

• The procedure
• Client medical history
• The suitability
• Contraindications of the treatment
• Recovery time
• Aftercare post procedure
• Any questions you may have

After the initial consultation you should have a better understanding of the procedure and if you wish to continue. It is important to remember it’s your decision as the client whether you go ahead with the procedure or not. In some instances, clients can be left with doubt after a consultation and find themselves looking for alternative professionals or the procedures as a whole.

We recommend taking time to process and consider all the information you have been provided with after your consultation before making a decision, including if the procedure is still right for you. In some cases, it can be beneficial to seek alternative specialist advice prior to agreeing to any treatment or procedure to help ensure any concerns have been minimised.

Post Procedure

Most cosmetic or medical procedures have recommended aftercare or post advice. The specific aftercare you will be provided with, will help to prevent adverse effects and ensure the overall results after said cosmetic procedure has been performed to the best of the practitioners ability.

It is important as a client looking to have any cosmetic procedure to be aware of the specific aftercare and post advice prior to having any procedure. Depending on the specific requirements of any given procedure and its individual requirements, these can include allocated downtime along with other restrictions. Most procedures generally have minimum relatively straight forward aftercare, but it is important to be aware of these requirements before agreeing to have any cosmetic procedure.

Summary

As we summarise this article, the main focal points as a potential client looking for treatments or procedures should be:

• Researching the specific treatment or procedure.
• Finding the right specialist for your desired look and needs. We recommend using the CosmediCheck search directory for trusted approved professionals.
• Make contact with a specialist CosmediCheck member via their approved profile.
• Book a consultation for more information and what the specific treatment / procedure entails as a whole – minimising any concerns or questions you may have.
• Take time to process if the treatment is right for you, before rushing to have any treatments or procedures.
• If after you have considered all the pros and cons and still want to proceed to the treatment or procedure stage.

Having an understanding of a cosmetic or medical treatment / procedure prior to booking it in is a vital part of helping to ensure as a client you are aware of the potential risks, the post procedure care (aftercare) and the realistic achievable results or client expectations. At times it is so very easy to get carried away (especially with cosmetic procedures & treatments) with desired looks of well known celebritese etc, and we can be envious of the way they look and want that look for ourselves. I mean what man wouldn’t like to look a bit more like ”Tom Cruise” or Brad Pitt”? But is so important to remember that everyone’s individual anatomy is different, and this can have a huge impact on a clients desired results when trying to achieve the results of others. Cosmetic treatments and procedures should always be about helping to improve YOUR look and feel, not anybody elses or their individual results.
