In 2025, skincare is more advanced, data-driven, and personalized than ever—but it all begins with one essential step: the consultation.
At Prestige Laser & Skin Clinic in Burnaby, a consultation is not just a quick conversation. It is a comprehensive skin assessment designed to understand your skin at a deeper level and create a clear, results-driven plan tailored specifically to you.
Why No Two Skin Journeys Are the Same
Your skin reflects a combination of genetics, lifestyle, sun exposure, stress, and past treatments. No two individuals have the same skin story—and that’s exactly why personalized care matters.
Our team of experienced medical aestheticians, alongside Dr. Gouws, takes the time to analyze, educate, and guide before recommending any treatment. This ensures every decision is intentional, safe, and aligned with your goals.
What Happens During a Consultation at Prestige Laser & Skin Clinic
Our consultations are structured, thorough, and entirely customized. Whether your concern is acne, pigmentation, aging, rosacea, or prevention, here is what you can expect:
We begin with a detailed discussion of your skin history, lifestyle, and previous treatments.
Using clinical assessment and advanced tools, we evaluate:
This allows us to identify both surface-level concerns and deeper structural factors.
1. Understanding Your Goals
We focus on treating the root cause—not just the symptoms.
During this stage, we explore:
Your desired results (lifting, clarity, glow, etc.)
Timeline and expectations
Comfort level and lifestyle
Budget considerations
Every recommendation is aligned with what is realistic, achievable, and meaningful for you.
2. Customized Treatment Plan
Based on your assessment, we design a fully personalized treatment strategy.
This may include advanced technologies such as:
Lumecca IPL for pigmentation and redness
Morpheus8 Burst RF Microneedling for tightening and collagen stimulation
Lutronic LaseMD Ultra for resurfacing and brightening
HydraFacial for deep hydration and skin clarity
Emsella for pelvic health and core strengthening
Each treatment is explained clearly—how it works, why it’s recommended, and what results to expect.
Education is a key part of our process. You will always understand the “why” behind your plan.
3. Medical-Grade Skincare Guidance
In-clinic treatments are only part of the equation.
We recommend clinically proven, medical-grade skincare, including:
