Your first appointment

First I listen. What bothers you, since when, in which situations do you notice it? Some patients know exactly what they want. Others say: “Something is different, but I cannot say what.” Both are a good starting point.

Then I examine — expression at rest and in movement, skin condition, volume distribution, palpation where needed. For medical questions, laboratory values, previous findings and medication are added.

Thirty minutes are enough to clarify what matters. That is why a call beforehand is unnecessary — and why the first consultation does not take ten minutes.

By the end you know what the options are, what they realistically achieve, what they cost — and whether anything needs doing at all.

Some patients come because of a frown line, have it treated and return two years later. Others want to know how skin quality can be improved over a longer period — then we put together a treatment plan across several sessions.

Both are right. There are no packages here, no contracts, no minimum commitment.

If a longer-term approach is medically sensible, I say so and explain why. If a single treatment is enough, I say that too. The practice has grown in recent years not because of commitments — but because patients return of their own accord.

What is currently promoted in aesthetic medicine is rarely identical with what is proven to work. New procedures appear monthly — the studies on them often years later, if at all.

I treat with methods whose evidence I know, and leave out what is merely new. That does not mean standing still: if a procedure proves effective, it is added. But not because it happens to be circulating on social media.

Professional. Composed. Without self-importance.
