Nervous? That’s normal.
Here’s exactly what happens.
No surprises, no pressure, no judgement — a step-by-step guide to your first appointment, written for people who’ve been putting it off.
Almost everyone is nervous before their first aesthetics appointment. Nervous about needles. Nervous about being judged. Nervous about being sold to. So this page removes the unknown — because Nicole has spent over ten years looking after anxious patients, and the first rule is simple: you’re in charge, at every step.
From first message to follow-up
Get in touch
Send an enquiry through the form (or a message on Instagram). Tell us as much or as little as you like — “I don’t know where to start” is a perfectly good opening. You’ll get a warm, human reply, never a hard sell.
Your consultation
A proper sit-down conversation in private: what’s bothering you, what you’d like (and wouldn’t like), your medical history, and a gentle assessment of your face. Every suitable option is explained in plain English — including doing nothing. You’ll leave with a clear written plan and pricing.
Time to think
You will never be treated on the day of your first consultation, and you’ll never be chased for a decision. Good aesthetic decisions are made at home, with a cup of tea, without anyone watching you decide.
Treatment day
Everything is explained before it happens. Numbing where it helps, a pace set by you, and a running commentary only if you want one (some people prefer distraction and a chat — that works too). You can pause or stop at any point. Genuinely.
Aftercare & review
You’ll go home with clear written aftercare and a direct way to reach Nicole with any worry, however small. Where it’s appropriate you’ll be booked a review, because checking the result matters as much as creating it.
Four things you can hold us to
You will never be pressured to book, upgrade or “add on”.
You will always be told if a treatment isn’t right for you.
Your questions are never silly — the anxious ones are usually the smartest.
The pace is yours. Full stop.
