Why Skincare Treatment Consultations Are Important

Ask your client about their skin, their expectations, and their goals.  Tell them how the treatment works and what the benefits are. Listen closely to build trust before your client commits to a treatment course. Skincare treatment consultations are a good way to guarantee satisfaction at the end of the course. Another positive about booking a course is they will rebook instantly. A face-to-face consultation allows you the opportunity to examine your client’s skin. Then you can assess the suitability of the treatment and manage their expectations.

Client Records

Consultations help to build a record of your client. You just need their permission. Always  store the information correctly and confidentially. Assess their skin over time to make sure they are on the correct treatment path. Then you will be able to recommend other treatments and products they may benefit from.

Upsell Products

It can be awkward for skincare therapists to ‘push’ retail. The good news is that consultations are the perfect opportunity to upsell products. Tell your client which products will benefit their skin so they can achieve their goals more quickly. Clients appreciate authentic recommendations. Make sure you are  transparent about suitability, costs and benefits. Sometimes clients can have adverse effects after the treatment. This is why consultation forms and notes are essential. Always keep a paper trail so you can check any contraindications that may have popped up. They are relying on your for your expertise.

Achieving the Perfect Consultation

How do you achieve perfect skincare treatment consultations? Here are our top tips:

  • Introduce yourself and explain your expertise to put the client at ease.
  • Focus your attention on the client. Make sure you are not distracted. If you seem disinterested, your client will be put off.
  • Ask questions about their skincare and lifestyle. You need a full picture of the client so you can make useful recommendations. Clients achieve the best results with a non-surgical treatment when they combine a course with a healthy lifestyle. Remind them about good nutrition, good hydration and healthy sleep habits.
  • Discuss your client’s skin goals so they have a realistic view of what the treatment can achieve for their skin. Set expectations from the get-go.

Skincare treatment consultations – and a thorough skin analysis – are the foundation of a successful treatment. Give your clients the best expert attention and your salon profits will start to grow.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
