-
Write down all your skin, hair, or body complaints so you are prepared to discuss all your issues at your appointment.
-
Take pictures of all your skin complaint areas. It’s always good to have some of your own pictures so you can compare your progress objectively.
-
Gather and bring all your current face and hair products so we can fully document your current condition. This will also help in our discussion as to what may or may not be working.
-
Completely fill out all the online forms prior to your visit. This will make things go faster with your check in process.
-
Please come with a completely bare, naked face. This means no make-up please.

If you have hair issues, it is be best if we could see and examine the scalp directly. Therefore, if you are “wearing hair”, please come with a removable unit such as a wig. If you wear braids, it would be best if the hair was out instead of braided.
