In that conversation, I give the limitations of any recommendation as much attention as its benefits. Before you sign the treatment consent form, you need to understand the treatment fully — not just know what bloggers have said about it or what is currently fashionable.
odNOVA does not follow the hype. My recommendations are guided by clinical knowledge, critical appraisal of the available research and careful consideration of what is appropriate for you.
I want our conversation to feel relaxed, with a sense of mutual understanding. We will discuss what matters to you, what you already like about your appearance and what you might want to change.
Talking about your everyday life helps me understand your expectations, including how subtle or noticeable a change you are looking for. It also allows us to discuss healing time and any time away from your daily commitments, and to take these into account when planning.
In my practice, I combine pharmaceutical and dermatological knowledge with the training gained through my master’s degree in Cosmetic and Aesthetic Medicine. This means my assessment considers both the appearance and health of your skin, alongside relevant medical history, medicines and the result you would like to achieve.
We can take things in stages. I do not expect you to decide on treatment straight away. If I do not think it is right for you, I will explain why and discuss what can happen next.
The same applies to you: if you do not feel I am the right person to care for you, or simply do not want to continue, there is no pressure to have treatment.
Booking is only the beginning. Conversation, assessment and preparation are as important as the treatment itself. I do not rush these steps to fit an appointment into 15 minutes. Giving you the time you need is part of the care I offer.
Safety always comes first, with your comfort during treatment a close second. I explain each step and check how you are feeling throughout.
You can talk, ask questions, request a pause or choose silence — whatever feels most comfortable for you.
From your first appointment, I provide your care personally and exclusively. If a question comes up later, you return to someone who already knows you and your treatment.
After treatment, you remain under my care. This includes support during healing, follow-up appointments and answers to questions about your treatment.
