Booking your first aesthetic consultation can feel daunting. Many patients worry about being pressured into treatments they don't want, or about not understanding what's being recommended. This guide walks you through exactly what happens at your first appointment at Nouveau Visage Malta, so you arrive feeling informed and at ease.
It Starts With a Conversation, Not a Needle
Your first appointment is a consultation, not a treatment. Dr Nader El Nahhal begins by listening — understanding what brought you in, what concerns you have, and what kind of result you're hoping for (and just as importantly, what you want to avoid). If you're worried about looking "done" or overfilled, this is the moment to say so.
A Full Facial Assessment
Next comes a structured assessment of your facial anatomy. Dr Nader examines your facial structure, muscle movement, skin quality, and the specific areas you're concerned about. This isn't about finding flaws — it's about understanding how your face moves and ages, so any treatment respects your natural proportions.
You can read more about this process on our facial assessment page.
Medical History and Safety
Because these are medical procedures, Dr Nader will review your medical history, allergies, and any medications or supplements you're taking. This step exists to keep you safe — certain conditions or treatments may mean a particular procedure isn't suitable for you, or needs to be timed differently. Honesty here protects your results.
An Honest, Tailored Plan
Only after the assessment does Dr Nader recommend a plan. The key principle is conservatism: start with less, build gradually, and never overcorrect. You'll receive clear information about what each treatment involves, the expected outcome, how long results last, and transparent pricing (see our price list). You're encouraged to ask questions — there's no obligation to proceed on the day.
What to Bring and How to Prepare
- A list of any medications or supplements you take.
- Details of previous aesthetic treatments, if any.
- Questions you want to ask — no question is too small.
- A clear idea of what you'd like to improve, and what you don't want to change.
What Happens After the Consultation
If you choose to proceed, treatment can sometimes be carried out on the same day, or scheduled for a follow-up appointment — whichever you prefer. If you'd like time to think, that's completely fine. The decision is always yours, and there's no pressure.
Whatever you decide, you'll leave with a clear understanding of your options and a plan designed around your face, your goals, and your comfort. To book your consultation at our St Julian's clinic, use the button below.
