At the IAPAM, we are committed to advancing standards in medical aesthetics and patient safety. Our educational resources support Medical Aesthetic clinics and professionals in delivering exceptional care—particularly in key growth areas like cosmetic injectables, skincare, and medical weight loss. Whether you’re a seasoned provider or a new Botox® trainee, mastering the patient consultation is the foundation for safe, effective, and satisfying outcomes.
Consultation is more than a formality: it’s your opportunity to ensure patient suitability, identify contraindications, and design custom treatment plans. For new injectors, a structured consultation protocol minimizes risk, fosters trust, and sets the stage for lifelong patient relationships. Clinics that standardize their consultation flow also lower liability and optimize clinical efficiency.
