One of the best things a skin care professional can do for each one of their clients is a thorough and complete consultation form. This is perhaps one of the most crucial components of a treatment service, and without it, clients could be missing out on the most effective services. Potentially, skin care professional could cause more harm to a client than good because of a missed important contraindication. Every client will have far different needs, concerns, and expectations. Even if a client comes in weekly or monthly for treatments, it is very possible that something has changed, whether it be their skin condition, their medications taken, or even their health conditions. The only way to know this is by asking some key questions each visit.
