I have spoken to a lot of people about miserable experiences they have had with other medspas.  Here is what I have learned, and maybe this can help you find the right place.

-Does the medspa or office offering services refuse to give out prices over the phone?  This is a red flag.  A reputable office should be transparent with pricing so that you can get an idea of what you will spend before going in.

-Do you get stuck in a room with a “Sales Consultant”?  I would say to just walk out at that point, because they are trained to suck as much money out of you as possible.  Sales associates work on commission and don’t care about your financial situation.  They will be more than happy to set you up on Care Credit to get you financed for your services.

-Is the office dirty, and the front desk personal rude?  As they always say, first impressions are everything.

-Always make sure you know how long the person has been performing the treatments that you are going to get.  Typically a new person will not have the same amount of experience as someone that has been doing that procedure for over a year.

-Groupon?  Sometimes Groupon is great, but when it comes to messing with your face spend the extra couple of dollars.

-Bait and switch.  I really hate to say it, but there are places that will advertise cheap prices for Botox, then switch another product.  Always offer to come back if they are out of something you really want.  Make sure the product is where you can see it.

-Avoid places where people always talk bad about other medical spas.  When people talk bad about other places, it shows they are threatened by competition.  A good medspa will keep their opinions to themselves and focus on you the client.
