Most Common Questions Skin Technique Receives

Years ago, patients only had one way of contacting a doctor’s office – the telephone. Now we receive emails, direct messages on Instagram, and Facebook, comments on pictures, and phone calls (and text messages for people who mysteriously get my personal number).

One of the most common questions we get before a “hello, good afternoon” or “hi there” is “how much?” This is regardless of the photo or procedure posted. It comes before questions about safety, longevity or discomfort levels. It precedes questions about the clinicians’ experience and training.

Low Bargain Does Not Mean Good

There is a problem with only being concerned about “how much?” I have realized for many people looking for a cosmetic treatment, the question of “how much” will guide them in choosing who to go to. It confuses me, as a logical thinker, why walking around in a $1000 pair of shoes with red soles or drinking a $25 cocktail is an everyday acceptable occurrence, yet when it comes to facial procedures, there is a tendency to go bargain hunting.

Sadly, cosmetic procedures are now widely available from various providers. It can be offered by someone with minimal training or from established cosmetic-related businesses that consider it an “add-on” service and drop their prices significantly to attract clientele. 

Questions You Should Ask Before Searching for Cosmetic Clinic in Vancouver

It is not necessary to pay unreasonably high costs for a cosmetic procedure. Still, if someone is offering a treatment that is considerably cheaper than the industry standard, it is important to ask yourself a few crucial questions before booking an appointment:

• Who is the injector, and how experienced are they?
• Do they belong to any regulatory bodies?
• Are they performing Medical Aesthetics full-time/very regularly?
• Are they only available at a location once or twice a month?
• Will they be providing the appropriate follow-up care?
• Are they using Health Canada-approved products and following the appropriate protocols?
• Are they demonstrating dedication to their skill by staying up to date with the latest techniques and guidelines?
• Are their procedures performed in a clinical environment with the appropriate sterilization equipment?
• Are you being provided with the proper after-care instructions?
• Will continuity of care be provided, or are you going to see a different clinician each time?

How to Determine Good Procedure Results? 

Naturally, once the more important questions have been answered with satisfaction, is it reasonable to get price estimates from different establishments to help you decide where to go.

Before asking how much a procedure costs, it is essential to ask yourself how much it would mean if the procedure you choose to receive goes very well. 

That is the actual value of a cosmetic procedure – having the peace of mind that your most visible physical asset is being honoured with care and respect.

Try to wait for those $1000 red-soled shoes to go on sale, but never seek suspiciously discounted cosmetic treatments to save money. I have seen multiple complications from reckless injectors and know of many suspended “clinicians” that have caused unfortunate damage to unsuspecting consumers who didn’t realize that cheaper doesn’t always mean better.
