A free aesthetic consultation is a chance to explain what concerns you and hear whether a cosmetic approach is appropriate. At Dr Sknn, this may be about skin appearance, facial features, body concerns or hair and scalp appearance. The aim is to understand the question before choosing a treatment; a consultation does not commit you to a procedure.
Wilmslow is Dr Sknn's primary clinic and Didsbury is also active. Services and eligible practitioners vary by clinic. Check the current booking options for the exact location and consultation route rather than assuming every treatment or clinician is available at both sites.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. Doctor, Nurse and Qualified Practitioner consultations are free. A Doctor booking requires a separate £50 reservation payment; that is a reservation fee, not a charge for the consultation itself. Nurse and Qualified Practitioner consultations are free. Review the current reservation, cancellation and rescheduling conditions shown in the Dr Sknn booking app before you book or pay.
If a treatment is later suitable, its price, possible course or follow-up costs and any non-optional charges should be explained before you decide. The cost of a procedure is separate from the free consultation, and a consultation does not guarantee a treatment will be offered.
What happens at an aesthetic consultation?
You can describe what you would like to change, what you hope to avoid and whether you prefer skincare, a procedure or simply advice. The clinician or eligible practitioner should consider the specific concern, relevant health information, previous treatments and your expectations. You can ask who would carry out any proposed intervention and where it would take place.
Where relevant, the discussion should cover the realistic benefit, limits, alternatives, possible risks, recovery and whether doing nothing is an option. Some concerns need a different healthcare assessment before a cosmetic procedure can safely be considered. A general Article cannot determine what is suitable for an individual.
You do not have to decide immediately. Take time to weigh the information and ask follow-up questions. A treatment plan, number of sessions or result cannot be promised before the appropriate assessment.
How can you prepare?
It may help to note your main concern, any products or procedures you have tried and any reaction you had. Bring a current medication list and relevant health information if the booking instructions request it. Be clear about what you hope to achieve and what would be an unacceptable outcome for you.
Ask about the practitioner's role, the exact intervention, likely range of outcomes, common and serious risks, recovery, total cost and aftercare for any option you are considering. Photographs or testimonials cannot guarantee your result. If a new or changing skin mark, persistent rash, unexplained symptom or active infection is involved, appropriate healthcare assessment may be needed instead.
Dr Sknn's scope and booking route
Dr Sknn is an independent private aesthetics and cosmetics clinic.
