What Does a Consultation for Acne Treatment Include?
A consultation for acne scarring at Aventis typically includes several steps to assess your needs, discuss treatment options, and provide personalised advice. Here’s what to expect:
1. Initial Discussion
- Patient History: Dr Imogen will ask about your medical history, skin type, and any previous treatments for acne or scarring. Questions may include the type and duration of acne, whether it’s still active, and any underlying skin conditions.
- Concerns and Goals: You can share your specific concerns about the scarring and your desired outcomes.
2. Skin Assessment
- Visual Examination: Dr Imogen will closely examine your skin to determine the type of acne scars (e.g., atrophic, boxcar, ice pick, rolling, hypertrophic).
- Skin Texture and Tone: Overall skin texture, elasticity, and pigmentation will be assessed to determine the best treatment options.
- Photos: Photos may be taken for documentation and to track progress.
3. Treatment Recommendations
Based on the assessment, Dr Imogen will discuss tailored treatment options, such as:
- Microneedling: To stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.
- Chemical Peels: For exfoliation and resurfacing.
- Laser Therapy: To target deeper scars or uneven pigmentation.
- Dermal Fillers: For filling in depressed scars.
- Subcision: To release tethered scars.
- Topical Treatments: Obagi for mild scarring or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
4. Discussion of Costs and Treatment Plan
- Cost Breakdown: A clear outline of costs for each recommended treatment.
- Number of Sessions: Information about the number of sessions likely required for optimal results.
- Timeline: An estimated treatment schedule and expected recovery times.
5. Addressing Questions and Concerns
- Side Effects: A discussion of potential side effects or downtime for each treatment.
- Realistic Expectations: Setting achievable goals to ensure you understand what improvements can be expected.
6. Next Steps
- Patch Test: If a chemical peel or laser treatment is recommended, a patch test may be conducted during the consultation to check for any adverse reactions.
- Skin Prep: Advice on how to prepare your skin before the first treatment (e.g., avoiding certain skincare products or sun exposure).

Dr Imogen may schedule a follow-up to reassess your skin and refine the treatment plan as necessary.
