Skin Consultation

Dr Nina’s mission at Facial Sculpting is to give her clients the gift of looking young and feeling great in their own skin. She does so by offering non-surgical treatments that emphasise a person’s innate beauty. Her philosophy is ‘less is more’ and she loves to make subtle aesthetic tweaks that lead to excellent, yet natural, results.

For many clients, attending Dr Nina’s clinic is their first step to investing in themselves. Each has a story to tell and a personal reason for wanting a particular procedure. Dr Nina feels privileged to be part of each client’s journey and enjoys following their inner and outer transformation, witnessing its positive repercussions.

For Dr Nina, the key to make her clients happy is to listen to them and build a rapport with them from the very first appointment, seeking to gauge and meet their needs and expectations. For this reason, she offers a full skin consultation before any procedures to gain a deeper understanding of her clients’ skin and prescribe a course of treatment that is both safe and effective.

Why is a Skin Consultation so Important

A professional skin consultation with Dr Nina should be the first step you take when you are considering starting treatments, a new skincare regimen, or getting a procedure done.

With so many scientifically advanced, innovative professional treatments and medical-grade skincare products available, it can be quite overwhelming to choose what is best for you. And, if you are not fully in tune with your skin type and its needs, you are bound to make a few wrong choices that will result in a waste of money and time.

Therefore, we recommend skin consultations to every new client, as it will allow them to gain advice on what is best for their individual needs and concerns and help them achieve their desired results in less time and more effectively.

For example, when choosing medical-grade skincare products, you will receive a regimen that is customized to your specific needs because it is subject to consultation and recommended directly by Dr Nina. Therefore, it is more likely you will receive the correct product from the beginning, as we will work with you to find a treatment that is successful for your individual case.

What to Expect During a Skin Consultation

When you first come in for a skin consultation, Dr Nina will ask about any concerns you may have, your expectations about the results you wish to achieve, as well as your medical history and previous treatments, lifestyle, current skincare routine and several other factors.

Next, she will conduct a thorough assessment of your full face and skin before giving you a diagnosis and discussing the details of your skin’s current condition with you. This step allows Dr Nina to visually see concerns such as pigmentation, rosacea, dehydration, congestion, dryness and many more.

Finally, a treatment plan will then be formulated for your individual requirements, and Dr Nina will explain what sort of results you can realistically expect to see.

Based on your skin needs and conditions, a bespoke treatment plan of medical-grade skincare products and supplements will be created, along with potential procedures that might be performed at a later stage, such as chemical peels, skin boosters, mesotherapy or other skin treatments.

Why You Should Book a Skin Consultation Today

A skin consultation will enable Dr Nina (and yourself) to get a deeper understanding of your skin so that she will be able to prescribe a course of treatment that is 100% bespoke, hence effective. By skipping this vital step, you may find it very difficult to see real results.

Following the skin consultation, Dr Nina will prescribe medical-grade skincare products containing active ingredients that have been clinically proven to have positive effects on the skin. They differ from over-the-counter products because they contain ingredients that are capable of penetrating below the top layers of the skin. Products sold over the counter do not affect the skin in biological ways and are unable to penetrate its upper layers.

As with the amount of a particular ingredient, the formula used for developing a product plays a large role in its effectiveness too. While medical-grade skin care lines may come with a slightly higher price than many retail manufacturers’ products, you can be sure that they have been developed to a higher standard with quality ingredients to provide effective results.

True and lasting results come from the quality of the ingredients and formulations that are backed up by scientific evidence, as well as your commitment to the product.

It is important to remember that when it comes to skin problems it is never a quick fix. Dr Nina will create a bespoke plan that will work for your skin, results will come but you will need to stick to it and be diligent with your skincare plan.
