How You Can Benefit From a Virtual Skincare Consultation
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly transformed how people work and how businesses are run. One of the most widespread changes is that most meetings and consultations have shifted online—and the skincare industry is no exception.
Online skincare consultations have become a popular choice among practitioners and patients alike. In the era of social distancing and extensive safety protocols, virtual services are a practical and safe way that allows people to still receive valuable advice from professionals.
The best thing about virtual skincare consultations is that it involves the same personalized attention you could expect from a personal appointment!
Here are three ways you can benefit from online skincare consultations:
1. You Are Safe
As vaccinations slowly roll out throughout the country, staying at home is still the best, healthiest choice you can make. Virtual consultations eliminate the risk of having to go out and travel to a clinic. You can receive expert advice from highly experienced professionals from the safety of your own home!
Video calls will allow your esthetician to examine your skin from a safe distance. If they need to take a closer look, you can send pictures taken from close up. You can safely describe your skin issues and ailments, and your esthetician can recommend products you can use after every virtual meeting.
2. You Save Time and Money
Visiting a skincare clinic in person takes a lot of time out of your day. You have to travel to the clinic, likely deal with traffic, and wait in the office if there’s a delay.
Virtual skincare consultations take place right in your home. You don’t even have to change out of your pajamas if you don’t want to. It’s as easy as clicking your meeting link at the beginning and clicking out at the end. There’s no hassle involved! In general, online consultations are significantly less expensive than in-person clinic visits as well.
3. You Build a Relationship
Online consultations also help you maintain a relationship with your esthetician. She will have a thorough knowledge of all your skincare issues and history and can help you improve results in the long term. And when it’s once again safe for you to go to a physical clinic, you will be able to transition to in-person care seamlessly!
What to Expect From a Virtual Skincare Consultation
1. Skin overview
If you are a new patient, your online consultation will start with a comprehensive discussion of your skin concerns, history, and future goals.
2. Skin assessment
Your esthetician will examine your skin to the best of his or her ability through your camera. You will also discuss what products you use for your current skincare routine.
3. Personalized skincare routine
Your esthetician will create a customized at-home routine that will work for you. This will include step-by-step instructions and product recommendations that will give you good results.
4. Follow up
No skincare issues can be resolved in one, or two, or even three consultations. Skin care is a long-term concern, and you will need to schedule regular follow-ups to keep your skin healthy and glowing!
Conclusion
Virtual skincare consultations are a practical, safe, and generally cheaper way for you to get professional advice from highly experienced estheticians. The only real change is the venue—you get to stay at home as you discuss your issues and examine your skin. Soon enough, you will be able to meet with your esthetician face-to-face, and they will meet you exactly where you are in your skincare journey.
