THE ART OF A SKIN CONSULTATION

PRO MEDICAL SPA, MAPLE VALLEY

Written by Linda Rackner

There is no one-size-fits all skin care.  Every person has a different goal, skin type, concern, and lifestyle, which may only be addressed by an expert.  At the PRO Medical Spa, Master Estheticians offer complimentary comprehensive skin consultations to educate and plan your skin journey to achieve overall skin health and the “wow factor” skin you may have wished you were born with. 

Here’s the 411 on what to expect from an expert personalized skin consultation. 

STEP ONE:  CONCERNS

We are all our own worst critics.  Master Estheticians are experts at listening and asking the right questions to completely understand your concerns.  Everyone has something different that bothers them and it’s the primary focus to help you address and offer solutions for your concerns such as hyperpigmentation, acne, skin laxity, redness, or to help soften the aging process. 

STEP TWO:  LIFESTYLE

Once concerns and goals are confirmed, it’s important to explore and understand your lifestyle.  Do you work from home?  Are you an outdoor enthusiast?  Do you follow a skincare routine?  Are you a minimalist or a product devotee?  These details are important when it comes to designing your product and treatment plan for long term skin health as everyone will have a different recipe.  For example, if you’re out in the environment every day and not using sun protection factor (SPF), you will receive an in-depth education on the importance of SPF to protect your skin form UVA and UVB rays that can accelerate the aging process and cause skin damage.  Plus, you may learn about serums high in antioxidants to protect from free radical damage. 

STEP THREE:  DIAGNOSIS

Skin is forever changing.  As a partner in your skin journey, you’ll typically expect to receive a plan for monthly treatments to address skin texture and tone.  Establishing consistency is important in order to achieve results and improve the overall integrity of your skin.  You’ll also receive an expert education on home skin care with a comprehensive regime.  What you do at home supports the investment you’ve made in advanced treatments as well as maintains long-term skin health.  At home, you touch your skin twice a day, 60 times per month whereas with your esthetician only touches your skin once a month.  You can make a real impact with your home care routine.  It’s comparable to diet and exercise. 

STEP FOUR:  MAINTENANCE

Once your skin is to a happy place, quarterly maintenance and regular use of medical grade skincare will be in your future.   The goal as the Master Esthetician is to create youthful healthy skin which in turn will bring out the most vibrant version of yourself.
