Skin Consultation Dundee

You know something needs to change with your skin but you're not sure what. You've looked at chemical peels and micro-needling. You've read about different acids and collagen induction therapy. You've seen the options on the booking system and you're not confident which one is right for your specific skin, your specific concerns, and your specific situation.

Booking the wrong treatment wastes your money and your time. A peel that targets pigmentation won't help if your real issue is congestion. Micro-needling for scarring is the wrong choice if your skin is actively breaking out. The treatment that works brilliantly for someone else might not be the one your skin needs right now.

A skin consultation takes the guesswork out of it. Radina examines your skin properly, discusses what's bothering you, identifies what's actually going on beneath the surface, and recommends the right treatment. Not the most expensive one. The right one. At Aesthete Beauty in Dundee, a Skin Consultation costs £10, which is deducted from your first treatment if you proceed. Book online any time or call us on 01382 217888.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Aesthete Beauty. Radina is so knowledgeable and professional. She really takes the time to explain everything and makes sure you are comfortable throughout. The results speak for themselves.

The Benefits

Why Book a Consultation First

You avoid wasting money on the wrong treatment. A consultation costs £10. The wrong treatment costs £84 to £109 plus the time and recovery. Getting the right treatment first time is worth the initial £10.

You get a personalised recommendation. Your skin is different from everyone else's. What worked for your friend might not work for you. A consultation gives you a recommendation based on your actual skin, not a general description on a website.

You understand what to expect. Radina will explain exactly what the recommended treatment involves, what it feels like, how long the recovery is, how many sessions you'll need, and what results are realistic. No surprises.

The £10 is deducted from your treatment. If you proceed with a treatment after your consultation, the £10 consultation fee is deducted from the treatment cost. So if you book a skin peel (£84), you pay £74 for the peel because you've already paid £10 for the consultation. The consultation effectively costs you nothing if you go ahead with treatment.

You can decide without pressure. If you come to the consultation and decide you want to think about it, that's fine. There's no obligation to book a treatment on the spot. The £10 covers Radina's time and expertise. You leave with the information you need to make a decision when you're ready.

The most excellent and luxury service and care. Radina is the consummate professional and beauty therapist. Her attention to detail and comfort is top class. If you are looking for one-to-one luxury pampering experience, you have found it.

Is It For You?

Who Should Book a Consultation

A skin consultation is the right first step if any of these sound familiar:

  • You've never had a professional skin treatment and don't know where to start
  • You're not sure whether a chemical peel or micro-needling is right for your concern
  • You have multiple skin concerns and don't know which to prioritise
  • You have sensitive skin and want professional advice before committing to a treatment
  • You've been using products at home without results and want to know what's actually going on
  • You've had treatments before that didn't work and want a second opinion
  • You want to understand what your skin needs before spending money on a treatment

If you already know exactly what treatment you want (for example, you've had a specific peel before and want it again), you don't need a consultation. You can book the treatment directly. The consultation is for people who aren't sure.

Pricing & Booking

Skin Consultation Price and How to Book

Skin Consultation £10. The consultation takes approximately 20 minutes.

The £10 is deducted from your first treatment if you proceed. If you book a Skin Peel (£84), you pay £74. If you book Micro-needling (£99), you pay £89.

Your Appointment

What to Expect at Your Skin Consultation Appointment

All tools and equipment are thoroughly cleaned and hygienically prepared between every client. Fresh towels, sanitised surfaces, and a clean workspace are standard for every appointment.

The consultation takes around 20 minutes and gives you a clear understanding of your skin and the best way to treat it.

You'll get a digital consultation form by email before your appointment. It asks about your skin history, products you're currently using, medications, and what you want to address. Radina reads it before you arrive. The in-person assessment is still the main event but the form gives her context so she can focus on examining your skin rather than taking a history from scratch.

01

Skin assessment

Radina examines your skin under proper lighting. She looks at your skin type (oily, dry, combination, sensitive), current condition (congestion, dehydration, pigmentation, scarring, fine lines), and any specific areas of concern you want to address.

02

Discussion

She asks about your skin history, what products you're currently using, what treatments you've had before, and what results you're hoping for. This context matters because your skin's response to treatments depends on what it's been through before and what you're putting on it daily.

03

Diagnosis

Based on what she sees and what you tell her, Radina identifies what's actually causing the issues you're experiencing. Sometimes what looks like one problem on the surface is caused by something else underneath. Dull skin might be dehydration or it might be dead cell buildup. Breakouts might be hormonal or they might be product-related congestion. The consultation identifies the cause, not just the symptom.

04

Treatment recommendation

Radina recommends the specific treatment that addresses your concern. She'll explain why that treatment is right, what it does, how many sessions you're likely to need, and what results to expect. She'll also tell you if a treatment isn't right for your skin and suggest an alternative.

05

Questions

You can ask anything. About the treatments, the products, the process, the aftercare, the cost, the timeline. Radina would rather you leave the consultation fully informed than book a treatment you're unsure about.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Skin Consultations in Dundee

Q

How much does a skin consultation cost?

£10. This is deducted from your first treatment if you proceed. The consultation effectively costs nothing if you go ahead with a recommended treatment.

Q

How long does the consultation take?

Approximately 20 minutes. Enough time for a proper skin assessment, discussion of your concerns, and a detailed treatment recommendation.

Q

Do I need a consultation before every treatment?

No. The consultation is for your first visit or if you're unsure which treatment suits your concern. Once Radina knows your skin, subsequent treatments are booked directly.

Q

What if I decide not to have a treatment after the consultation?

That's fine. The £10 covers Radina's time and expertise. There's no obligation to book anything. You leave with the information you need to decide in your own time.

Q

Can I have a treatment on the same day as my consultation?

In some cases, yes. If Radina recommends a treatment that doesn't require a patch test and you want to proceed, it can be done in the same appointment. However, CLINICCARE peels require a patch test 48 hours before, so those would need a separate appointment.

Q

What should I bring to my consultation?

Come with clean skin if possible, though it's not essential. If you have a list of products you're currently using, bring that. It helps Radina understand what your skin is already being exposed to.

Q

Is the consultation just for skin peels and micro-needling?

The consultation covers all skin concerns and can lead to a recommendation for any treatment at the salon, including peels, micro-needling, facials, or a combination approach.

Q

Can I skip the consultation and just book a skin peel or microneedling?

You can if you already know what you want and you're confident it's the right treatment. But if you've never had clinical skin treatments before, or if you're not sure which one suits your concern, the consultation is worth the £10. It gets deducted from your first treatment anyway, so it effectively costs nothing if you go ahead. Booking the wrong treatment and having to switch is more expensive than getting it right first time.

Q

What's the difference between your consultation and a free one at Boots?

Boots consultations are product recommendations. They look at your skin and suggest products from the brands they sell. A skin consultation at Aesthete Beauty is a clinical assessment by a trained practitioner who performs the treatments she's recommending. Radina examines your skin, identifies the specific concern, and tells you which professional treatment will address it. She's not selling you a moisturiser. She's mapping out a treatment plan.
