Your first visit
Nerves come up in nearly every first consultation, and they are the thing clients most often mention afterwards — that it was calmer than they had braced for. This page is what happens, in order, so that none of it is a surprise.
What actually happens
-
01
You arrive and you sit down
Nothing is done to you in the first part of the appointment. You talk. Leah asks what is bothering you, how long it has bothered you, and what you have already tried or been told elsewhere.
-
02
Your face is assessed properly
At rest and in movement, from the front and in profile. This is where the plan comes from, and it is often not what people expect — the fix for one complaint frequently sits somewhere else on the face.
-
03
You get a plan and a price
What is worth doing, in what order, what it costs, and what to leave alone for now. If a treatment you have asked for is not right for you, this is where you will be told, along with the reason.
-
04
You decide — including deciding not to
Go ahead on the day, take two weeks to think about it, or leave it. A consultation can be booked entirely on its own and plenty of people do exactly that. Some treatments, PDO threads among them, cannot be done on the same day and require this consultation first.
-
05
If you go ahead: numbing first, and no rush
Topical numbing cream is applied and left long enough to actually work. That waiting time is not padding — skipping it is what makes these treatments uncomfortable. Everything is explained before it happens, and you can stop at any point.
-
06
Aftercare, in writing
What to expect over the next few days, what is normal, what is not, and what to avoid. Plus a direct line if anything worries you once you are home.
Nervous about needles?
You are not unusual, and saying so at the start changes how the appointment runs.
Before you come
- Come with your face as it normally is. Makeup is fine — it will be removed for the treatment area.
- Bring a list of any medication and supplements you take, including anything that thins blood.
- Tell the clinic if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have had a recent illness or vaccination.
- Mention any filler or treatment you have had elsewhere, including roughly when.
- Avoid alcohol the night before an injectable treatment — it makes bruising more likely.
- Leave at least two weeks between an injectable treatment and a wedding or a big event.

Book a consultation, not a treatment
A €50 consultation is thirty minutes to look at your face, talk through what you actually want and hear what is realistic. If you go ahead with treatment within two weeks, the €50 comes off the price.
