Many seek the services of a med spa to regain a youthful and refreshed appearance. Injectables have become an increasingly sought-after service to achieve this appearance. However, candidates will need to undergo a medical evaluation at the med spa to determine if they are eligible for injectables and if they are a suitable treatment for their condition.
What to expect at an injectable consultation
Patients undergo a medical history review and comprehensive skin assessment during the consultation before settling on an appropriate treatment plan. The medical history will include the assessment of all medications and supplements, allergies, past surgeries or professional skin care treatments, and any health conditions. It is essential for candidates to disclose all information related to their health and skin care, even if they feel it to be insignificant. This will help to ensure safety and that no underlying factors may disrupt procedure results.
The skin assessment is a simple yet vital process, offering no pain or discomfort. The practitioner may use specialized tools, photographs, and a physical examination to determine the true state of each candidate's skin.
Those with age and wrinkle concerns
Med spas will use injectables like Botox® or dermal fillers to address age-related concerns, particularly wrinkles and fine lines. While the age limit for receiving is 18, the med spa will likely recommend injectables to those at least in their late 20s or early 30s as a preventative measure. These treatments slow the aging process and help one maintain a youthful appearance. For those with existing wrinkles, injectables can help soften their appearance and restore a smoother complexion.
Skin type and texture
Med spas can use injectables on various skin types, including dry, oily, combination, or sensitive. However, candidates experiencing certain conditions or complex textures may require additional or alternative considerations. For example, thin-skinned candidates may need careful evaluation to avoid overfilling and achieve a natural-looking finish. Similarly, candidates with extremely thick or scarred skin may require alternative treatments or those more advanced prior to receiving injectables.
Realistic expectations and goals
Aside from the physical factors the med spa considers, they will also ensure each candidate's goals are realistic. While injectables significantly improve the appearance of wrinkles and volume loss, they are not meant to transform or alter a candidate's appearance completely. Understanding that injectables are a form enhancement rather than a complete makeover is crucial. The consultation aims to understand the candidate's expectations and establish realistic goals after providing a comprehensive treatment plan, including maintenance sessions.
Commitment to maintenance
Most injectable treatment plans require a maintenance schedule for sustainability, as they do not provide permanent results. For example, Botox injections may only provide results lasting three to six months, while dermal fillers, depending on the type, may last several months to a year. Candidates need to consider both the time and financial commitments of maintaining injectable treatments at a med spa.
