To go to the cosmetician, as well as to study, never late!
Ideally, you need to start during puberty. But it is understandable that in the Soviet Union it was not customary to run to aesthetic medicine doctors, like a hairdresser. And no one planted a culture of care for our face and body to our mothers, and they in turn did not pass on knowledge to the younger generation. Here and continue the girls in search of a standing specialist to step on the same rake. To insure against small, and sometimes great tragedies after communicating with an amateur in a white coat, you must adhere to a certain search algorithm. First, do not follow the geographical sign. Of course, it is convenient to enroll in a salon two steps away from home or office: to meet with a beautician at lunch time or when you have a window in the schedule. Only to find a competent institution in this way is a great luck. No, of course, you can promontory the neighborhood, but often the sheepskin is not worth it. Also immediately delete the clandestine massage rooms and dubious personalities coming to the house. A qualitative cosmetic procedure is possible only if there is a fully equipped office and a line of professional cosmetics. Dot!
Before starting a search, ask yourself what goals you pursue
Do you want to find the right cosmetics, competently treat your skin, go through the mass of lei? Welcome to the classic beauty salon. Are they aimed at a course of chemical peelings, injections and hardware techniques? Then you have a direct road to a major clinic of aesthetic medicine. Do you want to combine the first and second? Ideal option - a small clinic, where practicing dermatocosmetologists. Unlike "beauticians" and estheticians, they have a higher medical education. When six years of medical school is over the shoulder, postgraduate training in the specialization "Dermatovenereology" and internship in the field of cosmetology, the expert is really versed in skin processes. He is able to diagnose and select an individual treatment program that will eliminate the cause of cosmetic defects, and not just temporarily disguise unaesthetic external manifestations. Even women with normal skin without visible problems (yes, they are also found in our villages), a doctor's consultation of this level will not be superfluous.
A list of worthy institutions will help the Internet
On the websites of the clinics there are forums and pages with reviews, where you can get information (both positive and negative opinions). When you decide on a choice, do not be lazy to go to the clinic with the inspection and personally make an appointment. Ask the administrator to show the customer record log to see which of the doctors is most popular. The person behind the counter should kindly share information, and not sniff that it is intended only for internal use. Pay attention to the skin of employees - with good specialists in the clinic you will not see people who are not well-groomed. The first impression is deceptive, but not in the case of a cosmetologist. When meeting with a doctor, include discernment. In its appearance every little thing matters. Professional distinguishes cleanliness and accuracy in the best sense of the word. Flawlessly clean dressing gown, work shoes, well-groomed face, short nails without varnish, lack of rings and bracelets. If you meet a lady in boots, thrown up hastily dressing gown, with a bright manicure and aura of cigarettes with menthol, turn around and leave. Such a doctor, I would not trust licking plantain, not that people treat! Look around in the office: the floor should shine, not a speck of dust on the apparatus, the trash can is tightly closed, the dirty towels are hidden, the jars with cosmetic means are lined up in orderly rows. During the consultation, do not hesitate to ask questions. Take an interest in the qualifications of the doctor. Of course, you are looking for a specialist with a higher medical education, who has diplomas on the regular passage of refresher courses. Also, you have the right to look at the instrument sterilizer and find out exactly how the process of killing bacteria is going. Some rooms use disposable tools. Reliable and convenient.
Next, tell us about your issue
A good doctor will not scold you for the wrong home care and inspire a cowardly colleague who previously worked on your skin. It is accessible and without excessive drama will explain what treatment plans to appoint. The sacramental phrase: "Everything is individual and it's impossible to tell in advance when the result will be" - a direct proof of incompetence. Do not be afraid to talk about the price of the issue. A professional always knows how much one procedure and course is worth, and can roughly calculate the care budget for a month. Before writing to the first procedure, he will necessarily offer a cosmetic sample with which he works. Believe me, this is not a commercial move, and the precautionary measure is to check the reaction of your skin to concentrated preparations and salon cosmetics. If the first meeting went smoothly, you liked everything and woke up the confidence in this man in white - safely sign up. If not, then refuse the subsequent procedures and do not be afraid to offend anyone. After all, the doctor - dermatocosmetologist - the most comfortable medical profession: no one raises at night from bed, no one dies and no one is cured. Just kidding. Very even cured.
The first visit was not successful?
Patience and tact, patience and tact ... Continue the search and in any case do not self-medicate. How many times have I heard how desperate housewives make peelings themselves, buy professional apparatuses, prick some solutions. And the hand of inventive ladies does not tremble when electrodes that conduct current are applied, or they apply acid on their only face.
Why pay more?
Really! Let's start drilling our teeth ourselves. The degree of risk of these procedures is the same. Therefore, be reasonable and trust them to a specialist. The only and unique that will certainly appear and will remember not only about your allergies, but also about your birthday. By the way, many of us still perceive visiting a cosmetologist as a psychotherapeutic session. Slavic mentality. Against her not trample.
One time to make a manicure and spoil yourself the rest of your life is not a horror story, but a harsh reality. Find out how the instruments are sterilized in your salon. The scheme is as follows: the instrument is washed with water, then it is kept for about 30 minutes in a special liquid (it will not be superfluous to look at the bottle and check the expiration date of the remedy), and then for several hours bake in a fire cupboard. Purified instruments are stored either in packages that have been sterilized, or in an ultraviolet container, which for some reason some comrades try to pass off as a sterilizer.
