How to prepare
for your visit.
Consultations at Reviv are 30 to 45 unhurried minutes. The more you bring with you — and the more you've thought about your goals beforehand — the more useful the conversation. Here's what helps.
Four things
to have on hand.
None of these are required — we can work without them. They just make the consultation more efficient and the recommendation more accurate.
A current medication list
Prescriptions, supplements, and recent over-the-counter use (last two weeks). Some medications affect bruising risk, healing, or interact with treatments — we screen for them.
Your skincare lineup
Bring product names or photos of what you use morning and night, including any retinoids, acids, or actives. We'll let you know what to pause before treatment.
Reference photos (optional)
If you have photos of yourself you like — or specific results you're curious about — bring them. They're a useful starting point for an honest conversation about what's realistic.
Your real questions
Cost over time, downtime, who shouldn't get this — there's no question we'd rather you not ask. Bring a written list if it helps you remember.
Worth turning over
before you walk in.
You don't need answers — we'll work through these together. But thinking about them ahead of time makes the consultation a real conversation, not an information dump.
What outcome are you actually after?
Not "more filler" or "Botox" — the underlying goal. "I look tired even when rested" or "my jawline isn't what it was" or "I want to feel more like myself." We work from the outcome backward to the treatment.
What's your timeline?
A wedding in eight weeks and a six-month plan are different conversations. Some treatments need a series; some need build-time before they peak. Tell us when you want to look your best.
What's your bandwidth for downtime?
Some treatments are no-downtime; others involve real recovery (Kybella swelling, laser pinkness). We want to recommend something that fits your actual life, not the version where you have a free week to hide.
What's your honest budget?
Aesthetic medicine is a longitudinal investment, not a one-time expense. We'd rather build a plan that works at the budget you have than recommend something you'll feel pressured by. Tell us, and we'll plan around it.
Is there anything you've been told to avoid?
Past reactions, conditions, recent procedures, pregnancy or breastfeeding plans — we screen for these, but the conversation is faster if you mention them up front.
The consultation,
step by step.
Welcome and intake
You'll fill out a brief health questionnaire if you haven't already. We'll review medications, allergies, history, and contraindications.
Goals conversation
Thirty unhurried minutes. We listen first — what bothers you, what you'd change, what you've tried, what worked or didn't.
Examination
A focused look at the areas you're considering. We assess skin, structure, and underlying anatomy — and tell you honestly when a treatment isn't indicated.
Recommendation and plan
A written treatment plan with options, timing, and exact pricing. If multiple treatments would work, we explain trade-offs and let you choose.
Same-day or scheduled
Some treatments (Botox, fillers, certain lasers) can be done same-day if you choose. Others (laser series, Kybella) we always schedule separately so you can think it over.
What you'll
leave with.
- A written copy of your treatment plan with itemized pricing — we don't do "starting at" estimates.
- Pre- and post-care instructions specific to whatever you choose, sent by email.
- Direct contact for follow-up questions before your treatment day.
- No pressure. If you want to think it over, that's the right call most of the time.
If you choose to schedule treatment, we'll send pre-care instructions and answer any follow-up questions before your appointment day. If you choose to wait or go elsewhere, we'll wish you well — no pressure, no follow-up sales calls.
