What Happens During an Extraction Treatment?
- At your first visit, a medical aesthetic technician will provide a free consultation
- During the consultation, she will explain the procedure and benefits to you and answer any questions that you may have
- Furthermore she will explain how the treatment works, the number of treatments that you will require and will provide you with a price quote
- The technician will also ask you a series of questions to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure and to determine your skin type
- After your FREE consultation, the technician will call in Dr. Vignjevic
- He will assess your skin type and whether extractions would be suitable for you
- In addition, he will answer any further questions that you may have
- You cannot be treated by the technician unless you are assessed by Dr. Vignjevic first
- If you decide to be treated, photographs of the treatment area will be taken
