Skin Consultation

About this treatment

An aesthetic or skin consultation at Prema Health is a thoughtful first step towards understanding your skin and feeling confident about the options available to you. As a dermatologist led clinic, we take time to listen to your concerns, learn about your goals, and build a clear picture of your skin health in a calm, unhurried setting.

These consultations are suitable whether you are noticing changes in your skin, exploring aesthetic treatments for the first time, or looking for guidance on how to care for your skin more effectively. As part of the consultation, we include a VISIA skin scan, an advanced imaging system that allows us to look beneath the surface of the skin and assess features that are not always visible to the naked eye.

This detailed approach helps ensure advice is tailored to you as an individual, taking into account both what you see in the mirror and what may be developing over time. Our aim is to provide clarity, reassurance, and a personalised plan that feels right for you, without pressure or expectation to proceed with treatment.

In More Detail

During your consultation, one of our experienced clinicians will talk through your medical history, lifestyle factors, and any current skincare routines. The VISIA skin scan forms an important part of this process, capturing high-quality images of your face to highlight areas such as pigmentation, redness, texture, and sun-related changes.

The results are explained clearly and in a patient-friendly way, helping you understand your skin rather than overwhelming you with technical detail. This information supports open discussions about potential aesthetic or skin treatments, as well as everyday skincare and prevention. For many people, seeing their skin in this way brings reassurance and helps set realistic expectations about what can be achieved. Consultations at Prema Health in Portsmouth and across Hampshire are designed to be informative and supportive, giving you the knowledge you need to make confident decisions about your skin at your own pace.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the £50 fee redeemable against treatment?

Yes, if you proceed with booking treatment within 30 days of your consultation, your £50 fee will be redeemable against your first treatment.

2. Is an aesthetic or skin consultation suitable if I am not sure what treatment I want?

Yes, many people book a consultation precisely because they are unsure. The appointment is designed to help you understand your skin and explore options without pressure to choose a treatment straight away.

3. Do I need any recovery time after a consultation?

No recovery time is needed after a consultation. You can return to your normal activities immediately, as no treatment is performed during this appointment. You may have a patch test included as part of your consultation, if IPL or ResurFX treatments are an option for you.

4. Will the consultation be uncomfortable or invasive?

The consultation is gentle and non-invasive. It usually involves discussion and visual assessment of the skin, with no procedures carried out unless clearly agreed in advance.

Conditions Treated

Aesthetic and skin consultations can be helpful for a wide range of concerns affecting both skin health and appearance. People often seek advice for issues such as acne, rosacea, uneven skin tone, pigmentation, or signs of sun damage that have developed gradually over time.

Others may be concerned about fine lines, loss of firmness, dullness, or changes in skin texture that can occur with ageing. The VISIA skin scan can also highlight early changes beneath the surface, which may be useful for those who wish to take a preventative approach to skincare. Consultations are equally valuable if you are unsure what is causing a particular change in your skin or if previous products or treatments have not given the results you hoped for.

By understanding the underlying patterns within your skin, we can discuss appropriate options that align with your concerns, lifestyle, and comfort level. Our focus is always on supporting healthy skin and helping you feel informed and reassured about the next steps.
