We know your first visit to a med spa can be exciting—and maybe you’re feeling a little nervous too. Whether you’re here for a consultation about injectables, exploring laser hair removal, trying a facial, or curious about our wellness options, our team at Viva Skin Lounge is here to make sure you feel informed, confident, and cared for from the moment you arrive.
Here’s what to expect—and how to prepare—for your first appointment at Viva Skin Lounge.
What We Ask on Your Intake Form
When you check in for your appointment, you’ll fill out a short paper intake form. These questions help us understand your concerns and customize your experience.
We may ask about:
✔ Fine lines and wrinkles
✔ Lip volume or hydration
✔ Facial symmetry or profile
✔ Volume loss or facial changes
✔ Under-eye circles or puffiness
✔ Skin tone, texture, or acne
✔ Acne scarring or breakouts
✔ Unwanted hair (face or body)
✔ Hair thinning or early balding
✔ Stubborn fat (like under the chin)
✔ Hip dips or buttock volume loss
✔ Crepey skin (neck, hands, etc.)
✔ Low energy or weight concerns
✔ Hormonal symptoms
Other concerns—we want to hear it all!
We’ll also ask what skincare products and brands you currently use. There’s no judgment—we just want to help you build the best routine moving forward.
Your Medical & Treatment History
Safety is one of our top priorities. Before any treatment begins, your provider will review your medical history and any past aesthetic procedures. This helps us determine what’s safest and most effective for you based on your goals and lifestyle.
Let Us Know If You Have a Big Event Coming Up!
