Six Steps Of Self-Assessment - a true gamechanger before your Aesthetics appointment
Mar 31, 2021
Self-assessment is one of my favorite topics when it comes to client education. Not only because it is a truly important & self-empowering tool, but also because it is an often overlooked or underestimated process that has the potential to create a MUCH better experience for you during your visit to the Aesthetician's office.
In case you are thinking: "why would I want to bother with self-assessment before my Aesthetics appointment? Isn't that their job?" you are not alone.
In this blog post, I will show you how self-assessment prior to your appointment can create clarity AND save you from possible hurdles as well.
So what are the crucial steps of an Aesthetics Self-Assessment?
Step 1: Grab a mirror, sit in a well-lit spot, and set some time aside to do this assessment in peace. Do not rush the process - it may take up to 15 minutes, but the time investment will pay back a hundredfold in the long run - and that's a promise.
Step 2: Identify what is your biggest priority. Stick to that. It is what you see in the mirror or photos that need to be addressed.

Step 3: Evaluate what types of sun damage and wrinkles you may have. There are different needs for the types of movement, texture, and static lines of the skin.
Step 4: Identify what you use as a skincare regimen. Take pictures of the bottles and their ingredients. This allows your practitioner to assess what your needs are. Be sure to include your sunscreen if any is used in your regimen.
Step 5: Are you on any medications? If yes, have your medical list available as well.

Step 6: Identify your budget ahead of time. If you don't know, it is ok to obtain a consult first to prepare for a great self-care plan.
