5 Questions to Ask Before Any Aesthetic Procedure
Empower your beauty decisions with confidence and clarity.
In the world of medical aesthetics, there’s no shortage of treatments that promise smoother skin, plumper lips, or a youthful glow. But before you commit to anything, it’s important to make informed choices that align with your goals, lifestyle, and safety.
At MPWR Aesthetics, we believe knowledge is power—and when it comes to aesthetic treatments, asking the right questions makes all the difference. Whether it’s your first time or you're a seasoned skincare pro, here are 5 questions you should always ask before any aesthetic procedure.
1. Is this treatment right for my skin type and goals?
Not all treatments are created equal—or suitable for everyone. Before diving in, make sure the procedure aligns with your skin’s needs and your desired outcome. A good provider will evaluate your skin condition, listen to your concerns, and suggest the best approach, even if it’s different than what you originally came in for.
At MPWR, every treatment begins with a personalized consultation to create a plan that works for you.
2. What results can I realistically expect?
Let’s be honest: filters and social media can skew expectations. While medical aesthetics can produce beautiful results, it’s important to know what’s realistic for your unique anatomy and baseline.
Ask your provider:
How dramatic or subtle will the results be?
How long will it take to see results?
Will I need multiple sessions?
We pride ourselves on delivering natural-looking enhancements that boost your confidence—not change who you are.
3. What are the risks or side effects?
Every treatment, even non-surgical ones, comes with potential side effects. Whether it's temporary redness after microneedling or minor swelling from dermal fillers, knowing what to expect helps you prepare and avoid unnecessary stress.
Be sure to ask:
What are common side effects?
What’s normal vs. what should be a red flag?
How should I care for my skin afterward?
MPWR clients receive detailed post-care instructions and ongoing support to make recovery smooth and worry-free.
4. Who is performing the treatment—and what are their qualifications?
Experience matters. Aesthetic procedures require both medical knowledge and an artistic eye. Make sure your provider is licensed, trained, and experienced in the specific treatment you're receiving.
Questions to ask:
What is your background or certification in aesthetics?
How long have you been performing this treatment?
Can I see before-and-after photos of your work?
At MPWR Aesthetics, our treatments are administered by skilled medical professionals with a passion for safe, natural results.
5. What’s the maintenance plan?
Aesthetic treatments aren’t one-and-done. Many require regular upkeep to maintain results—whether it's quarterly Botox, a series of microneedling sessions, or consistent skincare at home.
Make sure to ask:
How long do the results last?
How often should I come back?
Are there any at-home products I should use to extend results?
We’ll help you build a sustainable treatment plan that fits your lifestyle, budget, and skin goals.
