The consultation
Every treatment at Ochea Aesthetics begins with a consultation. This is a time to discuss any concerns you may have, your aesthetic goals, medical history and the treatment options that may be suitable for you. There is no obligation to proceed with treatment.
What it is
A complimentary appointment, in clinic or by telehealth, where we assess your skin and facial balance, take a full medical history, and talk honestly about your options, including the option of no treatment at all.
If a prescription medicine may be involved, a medical practitioner reviews your treatment plan through Fresh Clinics before anything is scheduled. Nothing proceeds unless it is clinically appropriate, and there is never any pressure to book.
What to expect
- A discussion of your goals and concerns, without pressure.
- A facial assessment by a registered nurse.
- Honest advice about which treatments may (and may not) suit you, their realistic outcomes, costs and risks.
- Time to ask questions. You can take as long as you need to decide, and deciding not to proceed is always a valid outcome.
Honest limits
The consultation itself carries no treatment risk. If you choose to proceed to a treatment, its specific risks, recovery expectations and aftercare are explained in detail first and repeated in your written consent, before anything happens.
When is a treatment not appropriate? Cosmetic treatments are not appropriate for everyone. Some medical conditions, medications, pregnancy and breastfeeding rule out certain options. That is exactly what the consultation is for.
