What to Expect from a DermaTouch RN Skin Consultation

Whether you’re looking to enhance skin health, address signs of aging, target a specific area of the body, or experience overall skin rejuvenation, a skin consultation is an essential first step for appropriate treatment planning. 

Your skin is as unique as you are, which means achieving your best results starts with understanding its individual needs. Before beginning any aesthetic treatment, a professional skin consultation ensures your provider can identify your specific goals, assess your skin’s condition, and create a personalized plan to help you achieve lasting, natural-looking results. At DermaTouch RN, each consultation is designed to educate, empower, and set the foundation for your long-term skin health.

In this post, we explore the importance of a thorough skin consultation and DermaTouch RN’s individualized approach, featuring insights from Houston-based Aesthetician Krys Givens.

What is a skin consultation?

A skin consultation is the first step toward achieving your aesthetic goals. During this appointment, a licensed provider evaluates your skin, discusses your concerns and desired outcomes, and helps you create a personalized skin rejuvenation treatment plan.

What is skin rejuvenation?

Skin rejuvenation refers to treatments and procedures that restore the skin’s youthful appearance, texture, and tone. These treatments target common concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, uneven pigmentation, and loss of elasticity. By stimulating collagen production and promoting healthy skin cell renewal, skin rejuvenation helps reveal smoother, brighter, and more radiant skin.

Here are some of the most popular and effective examples of skin rejuvenation treatments:

• Laser Treatments:
  
  • Halo Laser – a hybrid fractional laser that improves tone, texture, and overall radiance.
    
  • BBL (BroadBand Light) – targets pigmentation, redness, and sun damage for clearer skin.
    
  • Moxi Laser – a gentle, non-ablative option ideal for refreshing and maintaining healthy skin.
    
  • CoolPeel CO₂ Laser – resurfaces the skin with minimal downtime to smooth fine lines and improve texture.
    
• Microneedling: Creates controlled micro-injuries to boost collagen and elastin, improving texture, scars, and firmness.
  
• Vivace Ultra: Combines microneedling with radiofrequency and ultrasound imaging to tighten skin, refine texture, and stimulate collagen production for firmer, smoother skin.
  
• Dermal Fillers (e.g., Juvederm, Restylane): Restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours for a more youthful look.
  
• Biostimulators (e.g., Sculptra, Radiesse): Stimulate collagen production for gradual, natural rejuvenation over time.
  
• Neuromodulators (e.g., Botox, Dysport): Relax facial muscles to reduce fine lines and prevent new wrinkles from forming.

What are the benefits of a skin consultation?

According to Givens, a skin consultation is the foundational meeting that guides you and your provider in identifying your personal aesthetic goals, concerns, timeline, and budget.

“Your expert aesthetic provider will then be able to assist you with a personalized plan that allows you to move forward with direction towards achieving your skin-centered objectives. Whether your concerns include improving overall skin health, anti-aging of the face or neck, or focusing on another area of your body, be sure to ask your provider about potential options to help you fulfill your goals.” 

A skin consultation is an opportunity to understand your skin’s unique needs, explore the best treatment options, and map out a plan that aligns with your goals, timeline, and budget.

What can you expect from a skin consultation at DermaTouch RN?

Givens, along with the entire team of licensed skin care providers at DermaTouch RN, brings their years of expertise and training to each skin consultation. 

During a DermaTouch Skin Consultation:

1. When you arrive, you’ll be asked to cleanse your face by the front desk team.
2. A member of the front desk team will take photos and complete a Visia Skin Analysis Assessment with you that covers eight categories of skin health.
3. If you have not done so before your arrival at the clinic, you’ll be asked to complete or update new patient paperwork. Here are some things to bear in mind about this essential step:
   1. This information enables DermaTouch RN providers and staff to offer practical recommendations that prioritize your safety.
   2. If you’re able to complete this step before your arrival at the clinic, it allows your provider to spend maximum time with you!
   3. Don’t forget the Patient Visit Form provided to you – this questionnaire is invaluable for helping your provider understand your concerns so that your plan can be tailored uniquely to you.
4. Additionally, during your consultation, the specialist will:
   • Carefully evaluate your skin
   • Discuss your concerns, goals, and timeline
   • Develop an individualized treatment plan based on the Visia assessment, skin evaluation, and your concerns and goals.
   • Design a personalized at-home skin care regimen that includes medical-grade skin care to support the skin and enhance and maintain your treatment results.

What should you look for in an aesthetic provider?

When choosing a provider for your skin care consultation, experience and expertise matter. Consider these tips when you’re seeking an Aesthetic Provider:

• Look for a licensed professional with a strong background in aesthetics and a proven track record of helping patients achieve natural, healthy results. 
• A reputable provider will offer a wide range of current, effective, and innovative treatments, enabling them to tailor your plan to your specific skin type and goals. 
• It’s also worth checking online reviews and ratings to ensure the provider has consistent positive feedback, professionalism, and satisfied clients.
• A reputable provider will offer a skin consultation first – ideally with an in-depth skin analysis like the one provided by a Visa Skin Analysis (used at DermaTouch RN) – to better understand your goals and ensure the right treatment plan is developed to meet your needs. 

Givens points out that “DermaTouch RN is a full-service Medspa with providers who have years of cumulative experience and come from various backgrounds, allowing personal and unique collaborative solutions to meet your aesthetic goals.”

You can trust you’re in good hands when you choose DermaTouch RN as your cosmetic and aesthetic treatment provider.
