Following the practitioner’s advice can really help to improve the results of treatment, so it is well worth watching this 3 minute video to get Dr Ahmed’s valuable tips.
- Keep an open mind for types of treatments
- Dr Ahmed talks patients through the different treatment options available
- Sometimes it may not be immediately obvious, but a combination of treatments may work best
- Mention medical conditions/medication
- Very few medical conditions would prevent treatment. However, it is important to mention any conditions which affect the nerves or muscles.
- Mention any recent illness and bring any current medication to your appointment so that the aesthetic medical practitioner can review it and give best advice.
- Mention any allergies – these shouldn’t stop treatment, but the clinician should be made aware
- It is important to plan around important events – Dr Ahmed recommends having treatment 2 weeks prior to a major occasion
- If having lip treatment, mention cold sores. The practitioner may recommend some anti-viral medication before/after treatment so that the cold sores are not caused to ‘flare up’
- The only absolute ‘contraindication’ to treatment is pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Choose when you want treatment
- After consultations, patients are quite welcome to have treatment there and the, or to go home and think about it or arrange to come back at an alternative date
- Patients are under no pressure to have treatment straightaway
