The first consultation at an aesthetic clinic is a fundamental step in determining the success of your aesthetic journey. This privileged encounter with the practitioner enables us to establish a precise diagnosis, define realistic objectives and draw up a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and expectations.
This consultation is more than just a sales talk; it’s a genuine medical act that involves the practitioner’s responsibility and your safety. Medical expertise, attentive listening and technical analysis combine to offer you an optimal therapeutic approach that respects your individuality and aesthetic goals.
At Clinique Entourage, we attach particular importance to this first meeting, as it directly determines the quality of your experience and the satisfaction of your results. Our initial consultation fee of CHF 150 is an investment in your safety and the excellence of your care.
Welcoming and building confidence
From the moment you arrive at Clinique Entourage, our reception team will welcome you in a warm, professional environment that immediately fosters relaxation and confidence. This first impression conditions your feelings and facilitates the expression of your aesthetic concerns in a serene atmosphere.
The registration of your medical file scrupulously respects medical confidentiality and the legal requirements for the protection of personal data. This administrative procedure, although necessary, is carried out discreetly and efficiently so as not to impair the quality of your welcome.
The preliminary medical questionnaire enables us to gather information about your history, current treatments and aesthetic motivations. This preliminary information guides the medical interview and enables the practitioner to prepare your consultation effectively.
A private medical office guarantees the privacy you need to express your concerns and undergo a clinical examination. This absolute confidentiality respects your modesty and facilitates open, constructive dialogue.
The in-depth medical interview
The medical history is the first phase of the interview, during which the practitioner carefully explores your medical, surgical and allergic history, as well as your current treatments. This medical investigation identifies any contraindications and adapts treatment proposals to your specific health profile.
Analysis of your aesthetic motivations is central to this consultation. The practitioner seeks to understand precisely what’s bothering you, how long it’s been going on, and what improvements you’d like to achieve. This active listening helps identify your real expectations and assess their technical feasibility.
By exploring your lifestyle, your profession and your personal constraints , we focus our treatment recommendations on solutions that are compatible with your lifestyle. This personalization guarantees a realistic and sustainable approach.
Evaluating your understanding and knowledge of the treatments envisaged enables us to adapt the medical information to your level and correct any preconceived ideas. This therapeutic education is a prerequisite for your informed consent.
Clinical examination and aesthetic analysis
The clinical examination is carried out with absolute respect for your modesty and comfort, and with your explicit consent at every stage. This objective assessment of the area concerned enables the practitioner to precisely analyze the anatomy, tissue quality and therapeutic possibilities.
Morphological analysis determines the overall harmony of your face or the area concerned, and suggests corrections that respect your natural proportions. This aesthetic approach avoids artificial results and preserves your identity.
Skin quality assessment, based on the scientific Biologique Recherche criteria available at Clinique Entourage, identifies your specific “Instant Skin”. This technical analysis guides the choice of treatments and techniques best suited to your skin profile.
Photographic documentation, if you agree, enables us to keep an objective record of the initial state and facilitates ongoing monitoring. These strictly medical and confidential images are an invaluable tool for assessing the improvements achieved.
Decision-making tools
Computer simulation, when available as with the Crisalix system for breast augmentation, allows you to virtually visualize the expected result. This technology facilitates mutual understanding between you and your practitioner, and helps you to define your aesthetic goals precisely.
The presentation of similar cases, while respecting the confidentiality of other patients, provides a concrete illustration of possible results and technical limitations. This pedagogical approach makes it easier to shape your expectations and make informed decisions.
The use of visual aids, diagrams or anatomical models clarifies technical explanations and facilitates your understanding of the mechanisms of action of the proposed treatments. This therapeutic education reinforces your adherence to treatment.
We provide scientific documentation and informative brochures to help you think beyond the consultation, and deepen your understanding of therapeutic issues.

The presentation of the expected benefits is systematically accompanied by a discussion of the limitations and possible failures. This total transparency respects your right to full information and facilitates a truly informed decision.
Listing the risks and potential complications, however rare, is a legal and ethical obligation. This information, sometimes anxiety-provoking, is delivered with tact and pedagogy to enable a calm assessment of the benefit-risk ratio.
The discussion of therapeutic alternatives, including abstention, enriches your thinking and enables you to compare different approaches. This comprehensive presentation ensures that you make an informed therapeutic choice.

Practical and financial aspects
The detailed and transparent quotation clearly presents all the costs associated with the proposed treatments. This pricing transparency avoids unpleasant surprises and facilitates your budget planning.
The presentation of available financing solutions, such as the 6-, 12- or 24-month installment plans offered at Clinique Entourage, makes it easier to access care and tailors the investment to your financial possibilities.
The explanation of practical details covers all organizational aspects: duration of sessions, frequency of appointments, period of possible social exclusion and post-treatment recommendations. This practical information makes it easier to organize your treatment.
Scheduling follow-up and control consultations structures medical support and guarantees the monitoring of your results. This continuity of care optimizes your safety and satisfaction.
Reflection period and decision-making
The legal requirement for a cooling-off period, particularly for surgical procedures, respects your need to mature your decision without time pressure. This period of reflection makes it easier for you to take a calm, responsible decision.
The possibility of complementary consultation or second opinion encourages a considered and comparative approach. This openness reflects the practitioner’s confidence in his or her proposals, and respects your autonomy in decision-making.
The team’s availability to answer any additional questions you may have makes it easier for you to reach your decision, and avoids anxiety-provoking questions. This accessibility strengthens the relationship of trust that has been established.
The absence of commercial pressure characterizes a genuine medical consultation and respects your freedom of choice. This ethical approach puts your long-term interests ahead of immediate commercial considerations.
