The Consultation Process

Botox is a prescription-only medicine. Which means that you should first have a detailed face-to-face consultation with an experienced medical practitioner.

During an in-depth consultation, the practitioner will discuss the following:

Your Expectations

Your practitioner will discuss what you would like the treatment to achieve and which areas of your face you have concerns over. During your consultation, your practitioner might discuss alternative treatments that are more appropriate.

Your Medical & Aesthetic History

Medical history is an important part of the consultation. Your practitioner will discuss any medical conditions that you may have and if they pose any risk on the treatment. It is important for your practitioner to understand what previous aesthetic treatment you have had in the past before any treatment.

Potential Risks & Side-Effects Of Having Botox

It’s important that the risks and benefits are discussed before having treatment. At the extreme end, an allergic reaction to a wrinkle relaxing treatment could cause anaphylactic shock; however, this is extremely rare. More common side-effects include mild bruising, headache or slight swelling and these are often a result of the actual injecting and not the product itself. You can read more about this here.

The Opportunity To Ask Questions

Throughout the consultation you will be given ample opportunity to ask any questions and share any worries you have about the treatment. Feel free to ask as many questions as you want as there’s no such thing as a ‘silly question’.

Time To Make A Decision

With Unndoo, whilst we offer a consultation-only appointment our treatment appointment also comes with a consultation appointment, giving your practitioner an opportunity to deem you suitable for treatment and for you think through if you’d like to proceed or not. There’s not pressure at all, we just want to make sure you’re 100% happy to proceed and understand everything. You even have a 2-week window to think through whether you’d like to proceed with the treatment or not.

Aftercare Advice

You will be advised by your practitioner verbally on what you should do to ensure your treatment is as effective as possible. This information has also been provided via email for your reference.

Sign The Consent Form

The last step before going ahead with treatment is to sign a consent form. One of our experts will talk you though the consent form and give you time to read it through before the treatment. Treatment takes place once the consent form has been signed.

We hope that helps you to understand a bit more about the consultation process but, if you have any more questions then feel free to WhatsApp or call our Chief Medical Officer at 07585 237 435 or email us (medical@unndoo.com).
