Bring this to a consultation

Leave with fewer unknowns.

Ask about device, depth, active breakouts, healing history, products, medications, downtime, infection prevention, and follow-up. A useful provider should answer plainly, explain tradeoffs, and make room for a second opinion when the fit is not right.

Use this checklist

  1. Bring a list of products and relevant medications.
  2. Ask how the provider handles active acne and pigment risk.
  3. Leave with written aftercare and a realistic timeline.
