Why We Need Client Consultation Forms for Skin Care Services

It might seem like more form-filling to you, but there are plenty of reasons why your esthetician will always ask you to complete one of our Client Consent Forms whether you’re coming to in for the first time or having a new treatment.

It’s important that it is a completed intake from, so your esthetician can make sure your treatments are not just effective, but also safe and suitable for you.

General Health

First of all, we need to know a bit about your overall health, including any medications you’re currently taking. This is important because some products we use could interact with medication (we wouldn’t be able to use certain products during a facial on a client who is taking medication for acne because of increased sensitivity). Other conditions might make some types of treatments that are inadvisable.

If you’re pregnant, please disclose it – some treatments aren’t advised during the first trimester and even natural products like some essential oils aren’t advised for women during pregnancy at all.

Skin Health

If you suffer with any rashes, allergies, or skin complaints, please tell us so that we can make sure we don’t use any products that might irritate your skin even more. We can also factor that into your treatment plan as an issue to address.

We’ll ask you questions about your skin type, so that we can make the right recommendations for your treatment plan, and home care products too. Knowing that your skin is sensitive will help us to avoid products that could cause a reaction, and if we know you have oily/dry/combination skin we can treat that accordingly.

Issues You Would Like to Address

Some people like to treat themselves to a facial just to relax and pamper themselves while others have specific concerns that they want to treat, like wrinkles and fine lines, dark circles, acne, or rosacea. Share as much as possible about your desires, so we can formulate a plan and choose the best products to help you get the skin care you really desire.

Your Lifestyle

We might ask you questions about your lifestyle, too. This is to get an overall idea of how you are and whether realistically you’re going to be able to make changes based upon your consultation. If you lead a very stressful lifestyle, juggling work, kids and more, and barely have time for yourself, we’ll look at homecare products for you that are quick and easy rather than a complicated yet effective regime. It’s all about you!

We’ll also make some gentle recommendations about ways to improve your skin through making minor changes, so if you smoke for example, you know what we’re going to tell you to quit smoking! We can advise you on SPF skin care based on your answers, and give you useful tips to boost the effects of the facial or treatments you’re receiving.

The questions for both your esthetician and you and are valuable information needed to make sure your treatments are tailored to your exact needs. We really appreciate you taking the time to fill them out honestly and in detail.
