How to Prepare for Your First MedSpa Appointment: A Step-by-Step Guide

So, you’ve finally booked your first appointment at a Pshot near me—congratulations! Whether you're going in for a consultation or jumping right into a treatment like Botox, microneedling, or fillers, preparing properly can make all the difference in your experience and results. This guide walks you through exactly what to expect and how to get ready for your first MedSpa visit with confidence.

1. Do a Little HomeworkBefore your appointment, take some time to research the MedSpa and the treatment(s) you’re interested in. Read reviews, check out before-and-after photos, and look up the provider’s credentials. A reputable MedSpa will offer information about their team and services online, so you’ll walk in feeling informed and at ease.

2. Make a List of QuestionsEven if you think you’ve done your research, you’ll probably have questions when you arrive. Jot down anything you're unsure about—like how long results last, what side effects to expect, or whether a treatment is right for your skin type. A good provider will welcome your curiosity and take the time to answer each one.

3. Be Honest on Your Intake FormsDuring your first visit, you’ll likely be asked to fill out medical forms. Be transparent about your health history, allergies, and any medications or supplements you’re taking. This helps the provider ensure your treatment is safe and tailored to your individual needs.

4. Avoid Certain Medications and SupplementsIn the days leading up to your appointment, try to avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements like aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, or fish oil (unless medically necessary). These can increase your risk of bruising during injectable treatments. If you're unsure, check with your MedSpa ahead of time.

5. Show Up with a Clean FaceUnless you’re getting a facial, it's best to arrive with a clean, makeup-free face—especially for injectables, microneedling, or chemical peels. This allows your provider to fully assess your skin and perform treatments under the most hygienic conditions.

6. Know What to ExpectYou may not receive a treatment on the same day as your consultation—especially if it’s your first time. However, some MedSpas (like Dermalign) offer same-day treatments if you and the provider agree it’s appropriate. Ask ahead so you can plan your schedule accordingly.

7. Don’t Plan Major Events Immediately AfterSome treatments cause temporary swelling, redness, or bruising. Avoid scheduling important events or photoshoots right after your appointment. Give your body a few days to settle and your results to start showing.

8. Stay Hydrated and Eat LightlyBeing well-hydrated helps your skin respond better to treatment, and having a small snack beforehand can prevent lightheadedness during procedures involving needles.
