The importance of a thorough aesthetic consult
Your Consultation at Feeling 22 Aesthetics: Expert Guidance Tailored Just for YOU
Your free consultation at Feeling 22 Aesthetics is designed as a collaborative and informative session, serving as the cornerstone of a personalized treatment plan. It is far more than a simple service selection; it is a comprehensive assessment aimed at understanding your unique needs and aesthetic aspirations.
During the consultation, you can expect a thorough process that typically includes:
Skin Analysis: A detailed examination of the skin to determine its type, condition, and specific concerns.
Goal Discussion: An open conversation about the client’s aesthetic goals, concerns, and desired outcomes.
History Review: Discussion of relevant medical history, previous treatments, and any allergies or sensitivities to ensure safety.
Treatment Options: Explanation of the most suitable treatment options based on the assessment and goals, including potential benefits, risks, and expected results.
Personalized Plan: Development of a tailored treatment plan, outlining recommended procedures, timelines, and costs.
The expert team at Feeling 22 brings specialized knowledge to this process. Consultations regarding injectables are typically led by board certified nurse practitioner and practice owner, Lacey Saurbaugh, leveraging her medical background and expertise in facial anatomy and injection techniques. The consultation provides a dedicated opportunity for you to ask questions, address any uncertainties, and feel completely comfortable and informed before proceeding with any treatment. This transparent and client-focused approach builds trust and sets the stage for a positive treatment experience.
Making the Right Choice: The Importance of Personalization
While understanding the different service categories is helpful, selecting the most effective treatment requires a personalized approach. There is no single “best” treatment applicable to everyone; the ideal choice depends heavily on individual factors. Key considerations include:
Skin Type: Whether skin is oily, dry, combination, sensitive, or acne-prone significantly influences treatment suitability and potential reactions.
Specific Concerns: The primary issues to be addressed, such as fine lines, deep wrinkles, volume loss, hyperpigmentation, redness, unwanted hair, or skin texture, will guide treatment selection.
Desired Outcomes: Goals can range from subtle refreshment and prevention to more noticeable correction or rejuvenation.
Lifestyle and Downtime: Some treatments require minimal to no downtime, while others may involve a recovery period. A client’s tolerance for downtime and lifestyle factors (e.g., sun exposure habits) are important considerations.
Budget: Treatment costs vary, and budget is a practical factor in developing a feasible plan.
A treatment that yields excellent results for one individual may not be appropriate or effective for another due to these variables. Therefore, a professional assessment is crucial not only for efficacy but also for safety. Attempting to self-select treatments based solely on general information can lead to suboptimal results or adverse effects. The value of a professional consultation lies in receiving expert recommendations based on a thorough evaluation of these personal factors, ensuring the chosen path aligns with individual needs and expectations.
Botox®, Fillers, Collagen Stimulators, Kybella
Purpose & Benefits: This broad category includes several types of treatments administered via injection.
Neurotoxins (Botox®, Daxxify®, & Jeuveau) work by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, those formed by repeated expressions like frowning or squinting. This results in smoother skin and a reduction in the appearance of lines like crow’s feet and forehead furrows.3
Dermal Fillers (Juvéderm®, RHA®) primarily use substances like hyaluronic acid to restore lost volume, smooth out static wrinkles (lines present at rest), enhance facial contours (like cheeks and jawline), and plump lips. They provide immediate structural support and hydration17
Collagen Stimulators (Sculptra®, Radiesse®) work differently, stimulating the body’s own collagen production over time. This leads to gradual improvements in skin firmness, elasticity, and overall quality, offering longer-term rejuvenation.
Fat Dissolvers (Kybella®) contain deoxycholic acid to break down and absorb fat cells, specifically targeting areas like submental fullness (double chin) for improved contour.
Concerns Addressed: Fine lines, moderate to severe wrinkles, volume loss in cheeks or lips, lack of definition in the jawline or chin, double chin.
Expertise: The safe and effective administration of injectables demands a deep understanding of facial anatomy, product properties, and aesthetic principles. Lacey possesses the necessary qualifications and experience. As she notes, “Injectables require precision and artistry. Understanding facial structure and using the right product in the right place is key to achieving subtle, beautiful rejuvenation.” This highlights the blend of medical knowledge and artistic skill required for natural-looking outcomes.
