How a skin visit is planned

A skin visit is planned around the change you want to talk about: acne, pigmentation, texture, or ageing. The catalogue is wide. The visit narrows it.

What to expect

The doctor asks what bothers you, how long it has been there, and what you have already tried. From there the conversation can turn to advanced peels, pigmentation, or another treatment on the skin list.

• Come without heavy makeup if you can.

• List any peel or cream used in the last month.

• Say if you have an event soon, so timing can be planned.

One visit does not have to cover every concern. Start with the one you most want changed.
