What to Expect at Your First Aesthetic Consultation

Booking your first aesthetic appointment can feel intimidating — but it doesn't have to be. At Vital Health and Wellness, we believe informed patients are confident patients. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at what your first visit with us will look like.

Step 1: A Relaxed Conversation

Your consultation starts with a conversation, not a needle. We'll sit down with you to understand your goals, concerns, and what brought you in. Maybe you've noticed fine lines forming around your eyes, or you've lost volume in your cheeks over the years. Whatever it is, there's no judgment — just genuine interest in helping you feel your best.

Step 2: Facial Assessment

Our certified aesthetic injectors — including Debra Felts, NP-C, and Zarah Carico, RN — will perform a detailed facial assessment. We'll look at your facial symmetry, skin quality, areas of volume loss, and muscle movement patterns. This helps us create a treatment plan that enhances your natural features rather than changing them.

Step 3: Treatment Options

Based on your assessment, we'll walk you through your options:

• Neuromodulators (Botox/Dysport) — Best for dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement: forehead lines, crow's feet, frown lines, and more
• Dermal Fillers — Ideal for restoring volume, enhancing lips, smoothing nasolabial folds, and sculpting the jawline or chin
• Combination approaches — Many patients benefit from both treatments working together for a balanced, natural result

We'll explain each option clearly, including realistic expectations for results, how long they last, and what the experience is like.

Step 4: Your Personalized Plan

If you're ready to move forward, we'll create a personalized treatment plan. This includes which products we recommend, how many units or syringes, and a timeline for any follow-up appointments. We'll also provide transparent pricing so there are no surprises.

Step 5: Same-Day Treatment (If You Choose)

Many patients choose to have their first treatment the same day as their consultation. The procedures are quick — Botox typically takes 10–15 minutes, and fillers take 20–30 minutes. We use topical numbing for comfort, and you can return to most normal activities immediately.

Aftercare and Follow-Up

Before you leave, we'll review aftercare instructions in detail. We'll also schedule a two-week follow-up to assess your results and make any adjustments. Your satisfaction matters to us, and we stand behind our work.
