What is an Esthetician Consultation?

Here on the Simply Skin blog, we talk a lot about esthetician services to manage acne and aging. But while esthetician skin care is critical to maintaining a healthy and youthful appearance, many people don’t realize that an important step actually comes before all that: Every service with a new client begins with a detailed facial consultation.

After all, you wouldn’t expect a contractor to build you a house or a financial advisor to take care of your money without a lot of information gathering first — and the health of your skin is no different. An esthetician client consultation is an opportunity for you to sit down with a licensed specialist and discuss all of your skincare goals and concerns.

As a holistic skincare specialist, consulting with clients on their skincare needs is one of my favorite parts of my job. If you’re looking for an esthetician consultation near you and are curious about what it entails, read on!

What to Expect from Your Esthetician Consultation in San Diego

​If you’re new to esthetician skin care, some type of online esthetician consultation is often a good place to start. An esthetician’s virtual consultation will usually include a brief conversation in which you can discuss your skincare objectives and ask any questions you have.

Here at Simply Skin, the process usually begins with a 15-minute phone consultation. During that call, it’s important to be clear about your skin care concerns and ask for suggested treatments. While no esthetician can diagnose your skin over the phone, this gives us both a better idea of your needs and what treatment to start with.

Then when you arrive for your appointment, the next step of an esthetician consultation is often a pre-consult questionnaire intake form. This is where you’ll detail what your skin is like and current pain points you’re experiencing, which will give insights into what esthetician services are right for you.

During your visit, the esthetician will listen to your skin care concerns, examine your skin by visualizing and touching the skin, and provide treatment recommendations. They will also educate you on what is working in your current routine and what needs to change, and why your current products are/aren’t working.

Questions Your Esthetician Will Ask You

No two faces are alike, which is why an esthetician skin consultation will cover everything from your skin type, to your current skincare routine, to your overall lifestyle. In particular, a San Diego esthetician consultation will also include questions about how much time you spend in the sun. Other questions could include:
  •  Have you done any type of esthetician skin care before?
  • What are your skincare goals?
  • How would you describe your skin type? (Oily? Dry? Combination?)
  • What are the biggest skin issues you face? (Acne breakouts? Wrinkles?)
  • Tell me about your diet and water intake.
  • Are you taking any medications, supplements, or vitamins?
  • What products do you currently use in your skincare routine?
  • Have you experienced sensitivity from any skincare products in the past?

Questions to Ask Your Esthetician

Remember that while your esthetician will be gathering a lot of information, a facial consultation is also your time to learn as much as you can about your skin type and what they recommend. If this is your first visit to an esthetician, you may also have general questions or concerns, so this is your opportunity to ask anything you may have been wondering or worrying about. You may consider asking:
  • What esthetician services do you offer?
  • What skincare products are right for me?
  • What facial treatments should I consider?
  • How should I take care of my skin after a treatment?
  • What modifications should I make to my skincare routine?
  • How can I better take care of my skin?
​
An esthetician consultation is a critical first step in getting you the healthy, glowing complexion you’ve been dreaming about. After this thorough evaluation, I’ll make recommendations to improve the tone, texture, overall appearance, and health of your skin. I can also recommend specific esthetician skin care services that you should consider to help you meet your skin goals.
