Here’s What to Expect During Your First MedSpa Visit

Plenty of people have some level of anxiety about going to the doctor. There’s even a condition called white coat syndrome that describes the elevated blood pressure people experience at the doctor’s office. 

Fortunately, visiting a medspa should be nothing like visiting a doctor. While the “med” in the name suggests the medically backed nature of many available treatments, your visit shouldn’t feel cold or sterile. 

Instead, when you visit Elaine Phuah, DO, MBA, FACOI, and our team, we strive to make your visit comfortable and enjoyable. To help offset any nerves you might be feeling, let’s walk through what you can expect at your visit to Hanami Medspa in Fort Worth, Texas. 

A treatment plan as unique as you

When you choose to visit a medspa, you can expect leading-edge, medical-grade treatments (the “med” part) paired with a soothing, pleasant environment (the “spa” part). 

What happens during your first visit depends on you. Sometimes, people visit us for the first time with a specific treatment in mind. You might know you want laser hair reduction or lash and brow tint. In some cases, Dr. Phuah and her team can perform the treatment during that first visit. 

Other times, we use your first time in our office as an opportunity to explore what’s right for you. We start by asking about your cosmetic concerns and aesthetic goals. If you’re bothered by breakouts, for example, we might explore acne treatment with you. Or if you’ve noticed some unwelcome skin laxity as you get older, we can talk about your options for skin tightening. 

Other times, we use your first visit as an opportunity to explore what’s right for you. We start by asking about your cosmetic concerns and aesthetic goals. To further personalize your experience, we may also perform a complimentary computerized skin analysis using Vectra technology. 

This advanced imaging system allows us to assess your skin in detail, helping identify concerns beneath the surface and guiding your customized treatment plan. If you’re bothered by breakouts, for example, we might explore acne treatment with you. Or if you’ve noticed some unwelcome skin laxity as you get older, we can talk about your options for skin tightening.

In short, when you visit Hanami Medspa, Dr. Phuah and our team tailor a treatment plan to you. Dr. Phuah might recommend a specific treatment or a combination of treatments to help you get the best results. 

For best results, be honest

Because we personalize the treatment plan to your skin and your goals, honesty is key. Don’t hold back when we ask you about your cosmetic concerns. If we don’t know that something is bothering you, we can’t target it. 

Our team strives to make our office a welcoming, relaxing space where you feel comfortable being honest. Still, it can sometimes be a little tricky to remember everything you wanted to discuss, especially given the dozens of treatment options we offer. It can help to write out a list or save a note in your phone before you come in. 

At the end of the day, we want you to know one thing: the “med” in medspa shouldn’t scare you. Focus on the “spa” part. We certainly do.
