Have you booked in for a consultation? Sorry, we can’t tell you what you need until your consultation. FREE consultations on Wednesday this week at our clinic – book spots while they last (Click here to book – Don’t forget to mention that you’re enquiring about the free consultations)!”

But what, exactly, are consultations all about? And are they really that important?

Today’s blog covers what you can expect from your one-to-one consultation at our newly renovated aesthetics clinic in Blackburn, how to prepare and the steps forward afterwards. From when you first make contact, we’ll guide you through the process step by step to ease any anxieties you may have and to ensure you have a smooth treatment.

So…what is this Faciem consultation thing all about? 

The consultation at Faciem, to put it very simply, is an hour-long appointment between you and the aesthetician who will be treating you to work out a treatment plan for you that’s going to be effective. That’s it. Not much else to it, but we are absolutely adamant about them for many reasons.

In the same way you wouldn’t want a surgeon to meet you for the first time while you’re already dosed up on the table for your rhinoplasty, we want to get to know you before we treat you – even though fillers and vitamin boosts are temporary. 

The consultation is a time for the aesthetician to speak to you and get to know you – and your face – without any distraction that comes with over the phone conversation or misunderstandings that come with exchanging messages back and forth over the course of a few days. You’ll get the chance to tell your consultant exactly what it is that you want and discuss how to go about achieving that. Better yet, your consultant will be able to see you under clinical lighting so will be able to give you an accurate assessment. Or perhaps you’re not sure about what treatment you want but want to speak to someone with specialist knowledge about which avenue you should go down? There are an abundance of reasons why face-to-face appointments are simply just better.

Most importantly, however, is the designing of your treatment plan with us at Faciem. Whilst you may come in with a firm idea that you want non-surgical rhinoplasty and lip fillers to balance out your profile, our consultations may believe what you actually need is some jawline filler to even out your face. Sometimes what you want and what you need aren’t always the same things, and that’s okay. That’s what we’re here for.

Consultations are unnecessary for me. I only wanted some lip filler; can’t we get that done?

Unfortunately, we do not offer treatments without consultations for the reasons mentioned above. We also believe that you need time to go away and really think about whether you want lip filler, for example, after all the information we’ll be giving you. While you may think you really want the treatment at first, you may go away and change your mind – as many of our clients do. 

Throughout our time in the industry, we’ve come to realise that the clients who walk away the most satisfied are usually the ones who were sure about getting work done after they’ve been through the consultation and vetting process and then gone forward with the treatment.

Wait a minute, vetting process? What’s that all about?

Don’t worry – it more formal than it is. You’ll have gathered by now that at Faciem, our client/injector relationship is the most important element of your time with us at our aesthetics clinic. Sometimes, potential clients approach us with requests we’re not comfortable fulfilling. We work with your face to create natural results at Faciem so if you approach us wanting huge lips that will throw off the symmetry of your face, we’ll politely turn you away as we most likely will not be able to work together.

And honestly? That’s okay – that’s why the consultation experience is vital for both yourselves and us.

Okay, I kind of get it now. What can I expect on the day? Do I need to do anything to prepare?

The only thing you need to prepare is how you’re planning to get to us! We’ll take care of the rest for you!

While it may seem formal and nerve-wracking, the consultation really is just a casual chat over a hot drink of your choice where we discuss your wants and needs, your treatment plan and also any concerns you may have.

What happens after? Can I get treated ASAP?

We don’t treat clients on the same day as their consultation even if they’re 100% sure they want the treatment. If you’re sure on the day, we’ll book you in for an appointment within the week on the day of your consultation. If you want to go away and need time to think about it, we’ll book you in for an appointment after you’ve contacted us.

We never pressure clients to buy treatments they don’t need; that’s why we’re so strict on our policy.

That’s it for today’s blog. We hope we answered any questions you might have had about your consultation experience at FACIEM AESTHETICS. If you have anymore questions, or just want to chat, leave a comment below or send us a DM on Instagram.

As an aesthetics clinic in Blackburn, it was important for us to have information about Faciem, our products and services and our blogs easily accessible for everyone. It is part of our mission to ensure you are always up to date with all things new and exciting in the realm of aesthetics while making sure you have enough technical knowledge to make proactive decisions when it comes to your treatment.

Our main goal with the website is to provide visitors – new and old – with information relating to the treatments they’re interested in rather than just providing a price list. From Profhilo and anti-wrinkle treatments, to the traditional dermal fillers, the Treatments & Prices tab has links to individual pages on the site on all of the treatments we offer, with each page detailed with information about what the actual treatment entails, information about the products we use for it, the pros/cons and the price. We worked hard to make the information technical, but not so much so that you feel like you stumbled onto a training page for dermal fillers, skin smoothing treatments and Profhilo.

For those just wanting a brief overview of the treatments we offer, our homepage provides brief summaries about each of our services as well as (perhaps most importantly!) testimonials from our customers who come from all over – not just Blackburn! Also on the home page are the integrated social media buttons so you are easily able to visit our Instagram and Facebook pages and see what’s new in the world of the leading aesthetics clinic in Blackburn, as well as anti-wrinkle treatments, dermal fillers, Profhilo and just Faciem in general.

A lot of our clients prefer to contact us via DM on our social media pages, but if you would prefer to have a quick chat with us, our phone number is on our Contact Us page. Similarly, you can just fill out the form on the Contact Us page and we’ll get back to you ASAP.

Oh – and the website is optimised for mobile devices! That means no annoying flipping your phone vertically and horizontally trying to find a comfortable way to zoom into the bits you want to read.

Lastly, and most excitingly, is what you’re reading right now – our Blogs. From guides to leave you feeling less anxious about having work done, to articles on Hollywood/Bollywood and the treatments that are popular in the world of celebs (hint – it’s not just olive oil and anti-wrinkle treatments like they say it is), to updates on us as a business and what we’re up to, we’ve got you covered.

Our aim is to create a little hub for you to be entertained and informed all in one and we’re so excited to have you along for this new journey.

The Faciem Team
