AESTHETIC MEDICINE

Skin assessment and plan
“before anything”

Most disappointments in aesthetic medicine don't come from the treatment itself. They come from a skipped beginning — the moment when someone should calmly ask what you actually want, assess your skin, and check whether a given treatment is safe for you.

That beginning is the consultation. It is not a procedure. It's a conversation and an assessment: the doctor gets to know your skin, your health background and your expectations, and only then proposes a method — or advises against a treatment if it isn't right for you. Below you'll find everything worth knowing before you sit down on the other side of the desk.

AESTHETIC MEDICINE

What's the point of a consultation

Good aesthetic medicine doesn't start with a needle. It starts with a conversation. The consultation is when the doctor gets to know your skin, your expectations and your health background — and only on that basis proposes a method. It isn't a lead-in to a sale. It's the stage that decides whether the result will be safe, and whether doing anything at all is even worthwhile.

There are three things a consultation gives you that a "quick word at the desk" doesn't: a foundation of safety (the interview picks up on contraindications and medications), realistic expectations (what a given treatment will and won't do, and how long results last), and a plan instead of random treatments (the right order and the right intervals). Skin is a whole system — hydration, firmness, contour, tone — and a single treatment taken out of context is rarely enough.

How it works

How it works

The consultation is a process, not a procedure — and it follows a set structure. It starts with a health interview: questions about chronic conditions, medications and supplements, allergies, pregnancy and previous treatments. The doctor then examines your skin — assessing its thickness and firmness, hydration, tone, visible vessels and texture, as well as facial proportions and how your expression moves. Only by combining these two sources of information can we say what's actually causing what you see in the mirror, and what's merely a side effect of it.

The mechanism is simple: every question in the interview narrows the field. A medication that affects blood clotting changes the timing and technique of an injectable treatment. A recent cold sore pushes back the date. Your skin phototype and sun exposure history determine whether energy-based methods are even an option. What's left at the end of this process is qualification — a decision on whether a given method is safe for you — and sequencing, because some treatments reinforce one another while others, done in the wrong order, get in each other's way. You leave the consultation with a plan, not a completed treatment.

Three layers of skin in cross-section: the epidermis at the surface, the dermis beneath it, and deepest of all the subcutaneous tissue. During the consultation we assess all three levels — from the epidermis down to the subcutaneous layer — and only then put a plan together. Nothing is punctured or exfoliated at this appointment.
  1. Epidermiswhat is visible on the surface of the skin
  2. Dermisthe layer assessed for the plan
  3. Subcutaneous tissuethe level the choice of treatment decides

Did you know? The technical term for a medical interview is anamnesis — from the Greek anámnesis, meaning "recollection". The name isn't accidental: you remain the sole source of half the information no test can reveal. That's why a list of medications and supplements, written calmly at home, is often worth more than the best equipment in the salon.

Ideal for

Ideal for

  1. First timeyou're considering aesthetic medicine but don't know where to start or what to expect.
  2. A specific concernone thing bothers you (wrinkles, facial contour, dark circles, skin quality) and you want to know which method truly addresses it.
  3. A longer-term planyou want a considered sequence of treatments instead of reacting treatment by treatment.
  4. A second opinionyou already have experience but want a calm assessment and an honest recommendation.
  5. Before a specific eventa wedding, a photo shoot, an important date — and you need a realistic timeline for what can settle in time.
  6. A safety checkyou take medication, have chronic conditions or allergies, and want to know what's suitable for you and what's better postponed.

Women and men

What's different

For her

Your face — not a template, but an individual map

The conversation most often centres on skin quality and condition, and subtle correction that preserves a natural look. Women more often think holistically — about a plan, not a single treatment. This is the classic medical consultation for women, where we build a sequence, not a shopping list.

The areas we support

  1. skin quality, hydration, tone, fine lines;
  2. contour, firmness, an "opened-up" look to the eyes — a strategy, not a single shot;
  3. prevention and thinking a step ahead, rather than a last-minute correction;
  4. choosing methods around your lifestyle, calendar and acceptable recovery time.
For him

A man's face — different anatomy, different approach

Men usually arrive with one specific concern and expect a result nobody will spot as "done". The goal: a rested, less tired look, with character intact — this is the medical consultation for men, where discretion and a natural result matter most.

The areas we support

  1. a tired, "harsh" expression: forehead, frown lines, dark circles;
  2. bruxism, excessive sweating — common topics for men;
  3. skin quality and contour without the "salon-fresh" look;
  4. minimal downtime — a plan built around work and meetings.

Did you know? The best aesthetic medicine doctors spend more time on the first conversation than on the treatment itself. The reason is simple — 80% of the result is decided at the consultation: choice of method, dosage and sequence. The needle only carries out a decision made beforehand.

Safety

What actually determines a good decision

In aesthetic medicine, safety and results are decided by the stage that's easy to skip — a thorough consultation. It's worth asking about this at any salon:

  1. Who talks to you and assesses you

    At J'adore, the consultation is led by a doctor or dermatologist — the same person who later takes responsibility for the treatment. They assess your anatomy, choose the method, and rule out contraindications — not a receptionist, and not someone selling packages.

  2. Whether there's a full health interview

    Questions about medications, health conditions, allergies, pregnancy and previous treatments aren't a formality. Many complications don't come from the treatment itself, but from a question that was never asked.

  3. Whether the doctor is willing to advise against something

    The best sign of quality is a readiness to say "let's not do this" or "good home care is enough". A consultation that always ends in a sale isn't really a consultation.

Warning sign: a consultation that's really just a sales pitch · If the "advice" lasts two minutes, nobody asks about your medications or health conditions, and the outcome is decided in advance — you're signing up for a package today — that's not a medical assessment. That's a sale. You're entitled to ask who's leading the consultation and whether it includes a full health interview. A good salon will answer without hesitation and won't pressure you into deciding on the spot.

What happens during the consultation

  1. Health interviewwe talk about what's bothering you and what result you're expecting, about your current skincare and previous treatments, and about your health, medications and allergies. Every question matters for your safety.
  2. Skin assessmentthe doctor assesses hydration, elasticity, tone, hyperpigmentation, visible vessels and texture, as well as proportions and areas that need correction or stimulation.
  3. Photo documentationsometimes useful for a reliable before-and-after comparison later on.
  4. Plan and sequencetogether we work out where to start, what to combine with what, at what intervals, and what results to expect, taking your pace of life and any recovery time into account.
  5. Individual pricingyou'll get an indicative range and a plan of action, with no obligation for everything to happen at once.

What to expect

No surprises

Most importantly: the consultation isn't a treatment. Nothing is injected, nothing hurts, there's no recovery time. You leave with knowledge and a plan — not needle marks. The decision on whether and when to go ahead with anything is yours.

  1. Faza 1.on the spothealth interview, skin assessment and a conversation about your expectations
  2. Faza 2.after the conversationa ready plan: where to start, what to combine with what, in what order
  3. Faza 3.in your own timea decision with no pressure — you can come back whenever suits you
  4. Faza 4.periodicallyreviewing the plan as your skin's needs change
What I hear most often at the start: "I want everything at once, my wedding's in two weeks." My role at that point is to slow things down — some results build up over weeks, and injections need time to settle. A better plan is less, but at the right moment.
From the doctor's chair

What's normal during a first visit

  • questions that might feel personal (medications, health conditions, pregnancy) — this is medical standard practice, not prying;
  • your expectations may shift a little — sometimes what you'd planned turns out to be better addressed by a different method;
  • hearing "I wouldn't start with that" or "let's start with one step" — that's a good sign, not discouragement.

The consultation commits you to nothing. You can leave with a ready plan and make your decision calmly — including the decision that good home care is enough for now. That's a valuable outcome too.

The consultation and your lifestyle

What's worth knowing

The consultation itself needs no "medical" preparation — it's a conversation. But a few things genuinely add to its value, and let the doctor tell you more straight away instead of sending you off to another visit.

  1. Medications and supplements

    bring a list

    Write down everything: prescription medications, supplements, vitamins, herbal preparations. Some of them — those affecting blood clotting, for example — change the plan and timing of injectable treatments, so it's better to know upfront.

  2. Treatment history

    what, where, when

    Injections, lasers, peels, threads — and which products were used. This genuinely affects what can be planned next, and when.

  3. Reference photos

    if you have a specific result in mind

    A few photos help us understand each other and work out straight away what's realistic and what needs a different approach. It's easier to discuss specifics than impressions.

  4. List of questions

    write it down before your visit

    Results, discomfort, healing time, costs — no question is "silly". Writing your questions down guarantees you won't forget anything in the salon.

  5. Pregnancy and breastfeeding

    make sure to mention it

    If you're pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy — say so at the start. Many treatments are postponed in that case, but a plan and home care routine can still be put together now.

  6. Active infection or cold sore

    mention it

    An active cold sore or infection doesn't get in the way of the conversation itself, but it affects the timing of any injectable treatment — it's worth mentioning at the consultation.

When it's worth coming in

And what to postpone

The consultation itself has no "contraindications" — it's a conversation. But some situations are worth mentioning straight away, since they'll affect the timing of any treatments the doctor might suggest.

  1. Pregnancy and breastfeedingmany treatments are postponed in that case; a plan and home care routine can still be put together now.
  2. Active cold sore (Herpes)even in a location other than the planned injection site (for example, on the lips or in the nose), not only in the area being treated. It doesn't get in the way of the conversation, but we postpone any injectable treatment until it's healed.
  3. Active infection, inflammation or fevertreatments are postponed until you've recovered; the consultation itself can go ahead without any issue.
  4. Blood-thinning medication and clotting disordersthese require a doctor's assessment when planning injectable treatments.
  5. Chronic and autoimmune conditionsworth mentioning, as they can narrow down the choice of methods.
  6. Recently had another treatmenttell us what was done and when, so the doctor can plan the right intervals.

From the doctor's chair

The thing most often forgotten when planning injections: cold sores. People think, "I only get them on my lips, and I'm planning to treat my forehead — that shouldn't be a problem." With a needle-based treatment, it is a problem — an active virus is a risk wherever it appears. We pick up on this at the consultation and set the timing so it's safe.

This isn't an exhaustive list — we'll go through your medications, health conditions and previous treatments individually during the conversation. That's exactly what the consultation is for.
