Esthetics Core Written Practice Test

What should clients disclose regarding their past treatments during consultation?

1. Their preferences for product types

2. Their experiences with different services

3. The frequency of their visits

4. Their willingness to try new treatments

The correct answer is: Their experiences with different services

During a consultation, clients should disclose their experiences with different services because this information is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan tailored to their individual needs. Understanding a client's past experiences allows the practitioner to identify what has worked well for them in the past and what has not, which can inform decisions about future treatments. It also helps in building trust, as clients feel more understood and valued when they share their history. Preferences for product types, the frequency of visits, and willingness to try new treatments are also relevant, but they do not provide the same depth of insight into the client's history with various services. Knowing past experiences gives a more comprehensive view of the client's skin conditions, treatment responses, and any adverse reactions they may have encountered, which are essential for ensuring safety and efficacy in ongoing or future sessions.
