How to Prepare for Your Skin Consultation at Our Skin Clinic

Preparing properly helps us analyze your skin accurately and design the most effective treatment plan for you. A professional skin consultation is the foundation of your skin health journey, and a little preparation goes a long way in ensuring we get the clearest picture of your skin's true condition.

Here are the simple, essential steps to ensure you get the best results from your consultation at Our Skin Clinic.

Your 7-Step Preparation Checklist

Following these guidelines allows us to see your skin in its natural state, free from temporary effects that could skew your UV skin analysis.

1. Arrive With Clean, Bare Skin

   Please avoid wearing makeup, SPF, tinted moisturizer, or concealer. This ensures your UV skin analysis is clear and accurate.

2. Avoid Active Skincare 24–48 Hours Before

   To prevent temporary redness or dehydration that can distort your results, please avoid: Retinol, AHAs/BHAs (glycolic, lactic, salicylic), Vitamin C, Benzoyl peroxide, and Scrubs. This allows us to see your skin in its natural state.

3. Bring Your Current Skincare Products or Photos

   This helps us determine which products are supporting your skin, which may be irritating or causing breakouts, and whether active ingredients are right for your skin type. We refine your routine so it works with your treatment plan.

4. Share Your Skin Goals

   Clearly communicate what you want to achieve (e.g., clearer skin, reduced pigmentation, firmer skin, anti-ageing). This helps us choose the correct treatments like peels, lasers, microneedling, or regenerative options.

5. Avoid Sunbeds, Sun Exposure, or Fake Tan

   This is especially important if you're considering advanced treatments. Sun exposure can temporarily change your skin color and alter our analysis.

6. Be Open About Medical History & Lifestyle

   Some factors influence treatment suitability, including: Medication, Hormone changes, Stress, Sleep, Diet, Pregnancy/breastfeeding, and Skin conditions (eczema, rosacea). Your safety and long-term results are the priority.

7. Write Down Any Questions You Have

   This is your chance to understand your skin properly. No question is too small.
