Your First Consultation: What to Expect
Feeling nervous about your first aesthetics appointment? Here's a step-by-step guide to what happens during an initial consultation at Aesthetics by Heidi.
What Happens During a Consultation?
Your first visit is all about understanding your concerns, assessing your suitability for treatment, and building a plan that aligns with your goals. There's no pressure, no obligation, and no treatment on the same day unless we've both agreed it's appropriate.
Step 1: A Conversation About You
We'll start by talking about what's brought you in — whether it's a specific concern like fine lines or volume loss, or simply curiosity about what's possible. This is your time to ask questions, share any hesitations, and tell me what matters most to you about your appearance.
Step 2: Facial Assessment
I'll assess your facial anatomy, skin quality, and proportions. This helps me understand what's happening structurally and how your face has changed over time. I'll explain what I see and what options might be suitable.
Step 3: Tailored Recommendations
Based on our discussion and assessment, I'll outline a personalised approach. This might include one treatment or a staged plan over several months. I'll always explain the expected outcomes, potential risks, and realistic timelines.
Step 4: Your Decision
There's never any rush. Some clients proceed on the day, while others prefer to take time to think. Both are completely fine. I want you to feel confident and informed before any treatment begins.
All consultations at Aesthetics by Heidi are conducted in accordance with AHPRA guidelines. Individual results may vary. A thorough consultation is required before any treatment.
A note on our approach to transparency
Under Australian TGA guidelines, detailed information about certain prescription-based treatments - including specific product names and pricing - cannot be shared publicly. We respect this regulation because it exists to protect you.
Rather than publishing general pricing online, we prefer to discuss costs during your consultation, where Heidi can provide a personalised quote based on the specific treatment plan she recommends for your individual goals and anatomy.
We believe this consultative approach leads to better outcomes - because the right treatment starts with a real conversation, not a menu.
Individual results may vary. A consultation is required before any treatment. All treatments carry potential risks and side effects - these will be discussed during your consultation.
