10 Questions You Should Ask Before Any Aesthetic Treatment

When it comes to aesthetic treatments, the real power isn’t in the syringe — it’s in knowing the right questions to ask before you commit. Whether it’s Botox, filler, skin boosters or anything else, asking the right things helps protect your results, your skin health, and your confidence.

At Aesthetics with Aimee, we welcome every single one of these questions — because your peace of mind is as important as the result.

Here are 10 things you should ask your practitioner before any treatment:

 1. Are you qualified to do this treatment?

Always check that your practitioner has the right qualifications and insurance. In the UK, aesthetic treatments like Botox and filler should only be performed by someone trained, insured, and following legal guidelines.

2. Do I actually need this treatment?

This might sound odd — but the right practitioner will tell you if you don’t. A good aesthetician will look at your skin, listen to your concerns, and give you honest advice — even if that means saying “not yet” or “this isn’t the right option.”

3. What products do you use, and are they licensed?

Ask what brand of filler or toxin is being used, and whether it’s licensed for use in the UK. If a practitioner can’t tell you exactly what’s going into your face — walk away Aesthetics with Aimee offer long-lasting benefits, including smoother texture, reduced scars, and firmer skin.

4. What will my face look like afterwards?

You should get a clear, realistic idea of what to expect — not just best-case photos. At Aesthetics with Aimee, we focus on natural-looking results, not overfilled trends.

5. What are the risks or side effects?

Every treatment has some level of risk. Swelling, bruising, and rare complications should be explained clearly — along with what to do if something doesn’t feel right.

6. What should I avoid before and after treatment?

Things like alcohol, sunbeds, or certain skincare ingredients might interfere with treatment. Good pre- and post-care advice = better results.

7. How will you support me if something goes wrong?

Ask what happens in the rare case of complications. Do they have a prescriber? Can they dissolve filler if needed? Safety should never be optional.

8. Will this treatment suit my face and features?

Good aesthetics is about balance — not just adding volume. Your practitioner should look at your overall proportions, facial expressions, and skin condition before recommending anything.

9. What’s the total cost, and are there hidden charges?

Ask upfront about cost, and whether a review or top-up is included. Transparency is a green flag.

10. What’s the total cost, and are there hidden charges?

This one’s personal — but powerful. Are they more about trends or timeless results? Do they value natural enhancement? Make sure you’re aligned before you trust them with your face.

💬 Final Thought:

If your questions are met with irritation or vague answers — that’s your sign to keep looking. You deserve clarity, professionalism, and care from someone who sees your face as unique — not just another booking.
