What to Expect from Your First Anti-Wrinkle Consultation

If you've been considering anti-wrinkle treatment but aren't sure what happens during the consultation, you're not alone. Many people feel slightly nervous before their first appointment, particularly if they've never had aesthetic treatment before.

At MeiLustre Clinic, the consultation is never about persuading you to have treatment. Instead, it's an opportunity to understand your concerns, answer your questions, and determine whether treatment is appropriate for you. The initial consultation is free, and there is no obligation to proceed.

Your goals come first

Every face is unique, and so are your reasons for seeking treatment. Some patients want to soften forehead lines; others are concerned about frown lines or crow's feet. Many simply want to look more refreshed without changing how they look.

During your consultation, we'll discuss:

• What concerns you most

• What you hope to achieve

• Whether your expectations are realistic

• Whether anti-wrinkle treatment is the best option for you

Sometimes the most appropriate advice is to delay treatment or consider an alternative approach.

A full medical assessment

Unlike treatments provided without medical oversight, a medically led consultation includes a comprehensive health assessment. We'll review your medical history, current medications, allergies, previous aesthetic treatments, and any conditions that may affect suitability. Your safety always comes before cosmetic goals.

Facial assessment

We carefully examine your facial anatomy, muscle movement and skin quality. You'll be asked to smile, frown and raise your eyebrows so we can assess how your facial muscles move naturally. This helps create a personalised treatment plan rather than using the same approach for every patient.

Understanding the treatment

You'll have plenty of time to ask questions. We'll explain how anti-wrinkle treatment works, what results you can realistically expect, when you'll begin to notice improvement, how long results typically last, possible side effects, and aftercare advice.

In accordance with UK regulations, specific prescription product names cannot be advertised online. Your prescriber will discuss suitable clinical options in full during your face-to-face consultation.

Conservative dosing

At MeiLustre, first-time clients always receive a conservative dose. This is a deliberate clinical philosophy — a lighter first treatment can be refined at your review; too much cannot be undone.

There is never any pressure

Some patients choose treatment on the same day. Others prefer to take time to think. Both decisions are completely acceptable. We believe informed patients make the best decisions, and we encourage questions throughout the consultation.

Natural-looking results

One of the biggest concerns we hear is: "I don't want to look frozen."

Neither do we.

Our philosophy is to soften expression lines while preserving your natural facial movement. Friends may notice that you look well-rested or refreshed — but not that you've had treatment.

What happens after treatment?

If treatment is appropriate and you decide to proceed, you'll receive full written aftercare instructions. A complimentary review appointment at two to three weeks is arranged to confirm your results and make any subtle refinement if needed.

The first step is simply a conversation

Your consultation is exactly that — a conversation. No obligation. No pressure. Just honest medical advice tailored to you.

Whether you decide to go ahead with treatment or not, you'll leave with a clearer understanding of your options and confidence that any decision you make is based on good clinical advice.
