If you are considering aesthetic treatment for the first time, it is understandable to have questions about the consultation itself. You may know that something is bothering you but not know how to describe it. You may have researched a particular treatment but be unsure whether it is actually appropriate for your concerns. You may also simply be wondering: What happens at a cosmetic consultation?

A good consultation gives us time to answer those questions together.

At Zapatero Dermatology, the consultation is centered on listening, education, and personalized care. We want to understand what you notice, what matters to you, and what you hope to achieve before discussing treatments that may be appropriate. This reflects our broader approach to patient care: developing a one-on-one partnership and guiding patients without judgment.

You do not need to arrive knowing which treatment you want. In fact, the consultation is an opportunity to understand your options and decide, together with your provider, whether treatment makes sense for you.

Cosmetic consultations are available with Wendi Schulze, MSN, DCNP-C. To schedule, call (310) 454-5555.
