Are there any fees associated with a cosmetic consultation?
Most cosmetic consultations with our Clinicians require a fee upfront. However, if the cosmetic treatment is scheduled within 60 days of the initial consultation, a portion (and, in some cases, all) of the fee can be applied to the service you are receiving. Our aestheticians offer complimentary skincare consultations. For more questions or to schedule a cosmetic consultation, please call our office at (978) 371-7010.
Do all cosmetic treatments require a consultation?
All cosmetic services require a consultation prior to scheduling the treatment or procedure. In some instances, the office may be able to perform the cosmetic treatment on the day of the consultation; however, this varies by office, clinician, and availability. Please give us a call at (978) 371-7010 to schedule a cosmetic consultation.
