Why You Really Need To Keep Your Two-Week Follow-Up
If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve already had your initial consultation at Refresh & Renew MedSpa in Clarkston, Michigan, and you’ve probably had your first treatment too. Whether you had Botox to smooth out pesky wrinkles, AGNES or Scarlet radiofrequency microneedling to rejuvenate your skin, PRP microneedling to give your skin’s texture and tone a natural boost, or maybe even Sculptra to wind back the clock, congrats on taking a big first step towards achieving your skincare goals!
Now you may be wondering if it’s really necessary to keep that two-week follow-up your Refresh & Renew MedSpa practitioner recommended. Here are some of the top reasons we hear from clients when they consider skipping this appointment:
“I am so happy with my results, I’m all set until my next treatment.”
“I’m really busy this week… I’ll just cancel my follow-up appointment.”
“You only need to go to a follow-up if you have concerns. I don’t have any so I’m all set.”
Do any of these sound familiar? If you’re not sure you need to bother coming in, let’s take a dive into all the reasons why you should think twice before skipping that appointment.
Five Reasons To Keep Your Two-Week Follow-Up
Your follow-up is a critical checkpoint for your practitioner to evaluate results, monitor healing, provide guidance and ensure appropriate care. Here are the top reasons not to pass on this pivotal appointment:
The results of your treatment are assessed
While you may have already noticed immediate improvements, it takes time for the full effects of your treatment to become apparent. Your follow-up appointment provides an opportunity for your Refresh & Renew MedSpa practitioner to evaluate how your skin is responding and to make any necessary adjustments. It’s also a great time to address any concerns you might have and to ensure that you are on track to achieving your goals.
Your progress and healing are monitored
Aesthetic treatments involve delicate processes that require proper healing and recovery. Your follow-up appointment is a chance for your practitioner to monitor your progress and ensure that you are healing as expected. Any potential side effects or complications can be uncovered early on, which means the appropriate intervention, guidance and support will be provided quickly to optimize your healing process.
Opens the door for open communication
This appointment is your chance to share your experience with the treatment, discuss changes you've noticed in your skin and ask any questions that may have come up. Our expert practitioners are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals, and we all come to work eager to listen attentively and offer informed insights to answer your questions. It’s important to us that you feel heard, understood and supported through your skincare journey, and your follow-up is an important time to ensure this ongoing dialogue happens.
Further guidance on post-treatment care is provided
Your follow-up is a great time for your practitioner to weigh in on your skincare routines, recommend products tailored to your specific needs and offer tips on maintaining and prolonging the effects of your treatment. This personalized care and attention contribute to long-lasting results and help you make the most out of your investment.
Allows for preventive and proactive intervention
Even if you feel completely satisfied with your initial results, it's important to remember that aesthetic treatments are not a one-and-done solution. Your skin is constantly changing and regular follow-up appointments allow your Refresh & Renew MedSpa practitioner to adapt your treatment plan as needed. By addressing any subtle changes or new concerns early on, you can stay ahead of the game and maintain your desired results in the long run.
