Questions to bring to a provider in Santa Clarita

Questions that tell you a lot

How a provider answers matters as much as what they say.

• Who performs this, and what is their license?
• How were they trained for this treatment?
• What device or product is it, specifically?
• What does a series involve?
• What aftercare do I need?
• What happens if something goes wrong?
• What is the total cost before I start?

What a provider will want to know

Expect questions about your health, so have the answers ready:

• Medical conditions and recent illnesses.
• Prescription medications, supplements and topical products.
• Allergies and sensitivities.
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Previous cosmetic treatments.

Then add your own list of questions, such as who will perform the treatment and what the total cost will be. A licensed provider uses this information to decide what is suitable for you.

Red flags worth noticing

1. You are told a special offer ends today.
2. No one asks about your health history.
3. Treatment is offered before any consultation.
4. You cannot get a clear answer about who will perform it or what license they hold.
5. The cost changes or will not be put in writing.

Any one of these is a good reason to slow down. State boards in California let you look up a license online.
