About the Provider
Start with the basics: Who will be performing my treatment? What are their qualifications and experience level? How often do they perform this specific procedure? Can I see before-and-after photos of their work? These questions help you assess whether you're in experienced hands. A confident, qualified provider will answer these openly and without defensiveness.
About the Treatment
Get specific about your procedure: What product will you use and why? How many units/syringes do you recommend, and what's the reasoning? What results can I realistically expect? What are the potential side effects? How long will results last? What does the treatment cost, and are there any additional fees? A good provider explains the 'why' behind their recommendations, not just the 'what.'
About Safety
Don't skip the safety questions: What products do you use and are they FDA-approved? How are your products stored and sourced? What's your protocol if something goes wrong? Do you have emergency medications on site? Are you trained in managing complications? These questions might feel awkward, but any reputable provider will be happy to answer — and if they're dismissive, that itself is an answer.
About the Experience
Finally, understand what to expect: What should I do to prepare for my appointment? What does the procedure feel like? How long will it take? What's the aftercare protocol? When should I schedule a follow-up? Will I need touch-ups? At Lumière, we encourage questions — an informed patient is our best patient, and we want you to feel completely comfortable before, during, and after your treatment.
