About
Every treatment journey at Riva Skin, Hair & Aesthetics begins with a Skin Consultation — a chance to understand your skin's needs and plan the most appropriate path forward with Dr. Priyanka's team.
What Happens During a Skin Consultation?
Your dermatologist will assess your skin type, discuss your concerns and history, and recommend a personalized treatment plan. This is the essential first step before any procedure at Riva, ensuring recommendations are tailored to your specific skin and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Do I Need a Consultation Before Every Treatment?
Yes, an initial consultation helps ensure any treatment recommended is appropriate and safe for your specific skin type and concern. Some treatments may need periodic reassessment as your plan progresses, particularly for ongoing courses like microneedling or laser treatments.
What Should I Bring or Prepare?
It helps to bring a list of any skincare products you currently use, relevant medical history, and details of any previous treatments or reactions. This helps your dermatologist give the most accurate, personalized guidance.
