Your First Step Toward Confidence
Considering your first aesthetic treatment can be exciting and nerve-wracking. Whether you’re interested in Botox, fillers, or a rejuvenating facial, preparation is key to ensuring a smooth experience and optimal results. At Awaken Aesthetics, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Step 1: Schedule a Consultation

A consultation is the foundation of your aesthetic journey. During this appointment, you’ll:

• Discuss your goals and concerns.
• Receive personalized recommendations from your provider.
• Learn about treatment options and what to expect.

Step 2: Do Your Research

Understand the procedure you’re considering and ask questions during your consultation. Knowledge about the treatment, potential downtime, and results will help you feel confident and informed.

Step 3: Prep Your Skin or Body

1. Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to ensure your skin is well-hydrated.
2. Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from UV damage before treatments like laser therapy or chemical peels.
3. Pause Certain Products: Stop using retinoids, exfoliants, or other harsh products a few days before your appointment as advised by your provider.
4. Plan for Downtime: If your treatment requires recovery, schedule it when you can rest.

Step 4: Know What to Expect During Treatment

Your provider will guide you through the process, ensuring your comfort and safety. Most treatments are minimally invasive with little to no downtime, but understanding the steps can ease any pre-appointment jitters.

Step 5: Post-Treatment Care

Follow your provider’s aftercare instructions to maximize results and minimize side effects. Common tips include:

• Avoiding strenuous activities immediately after treatment.
• Applying soothing products to reduce redness or swelling.
• Scheduling follow-ups for maintenance.
