What to Expect on Your First Med Spa Visit
If you've never been to a med spa before, it's completely normal to feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. At Captivate Medical Wellness, we've designed every step of the experience to put you at ease.
Before Your Visit
When you call to schedule, our team will ask a few basic questions about your goals and medical history. This helps Dr. Taborga prepare for your consultation. You'll be asked to arrive 10 minutes early to complete intake paperwork.
The Consultation
Your first appointment is primarily a conversation. Dr. Taborga will:
- Listen to your concerns — What bothers you? What do you hope to achieve?
- Examine your facial structure — Analyzing proportions, skin quality, and areas of concern
- Explain your options — Including what treatments are appropriate, what results you can realistically expect, and what the process involves
- Answer your questions — No question is too small or too basic
This consultation typically lasts 30–45 minutes. There's no pressure to commit to treatment on the same day.
If You Decide to Proceed
If you and Dr. Taborga agree on a treatment plan and you'd like to proceed, many treatments can be performed the same day. You'll receive:
- A detailed explanation of the procedure - Pre-treatment photographs for your records - Numbing cream if applicable - The treatment itself (typically 15–45 minutes depending on the procedure)
Aftercare
Before you leave, you'll receive clear aftercare instructions. Common guidelines include:
- Avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours - Not touching or massaging the treated area - Sleeping face-up for the first night - Using cold compresses if needed for mild swelling
Follow-Up
We typically schedule a follow-up appointment 2 weeks after treatment to assess results and make any adjustments if needed. Your satisfaction and safety are our top priorities.
