Initial Aesthetic Visit
The Beginning of Your Personalized Journey
Every journey at SkinMed Institute begins with a comprehensive, one-on-one assessment with Dr. Mona Sadeghpour.
This is more than a traditional cosmetic consultation where treatments are selected off of a menu. It is a one-on-one dedicated time to sit down with a Board-Certified, Fellowship-Trained Dermatologist and understand your skin, anatomy, concerns, and goals before deciding what—if anything—should be treated.
Dr. Sadeghpour evaluates the factors contributing to what you see today, from skin quality and facial structure to patterns of aging, pigmentation, redness, inflammation, scarring, or other concerns. When appropriate, the assessment may extend beyond the face to the neck, décolletage, body, or other areas you would like to address.
Our Philosophy: Plan First. Treat Second.
At SkinMed Institute, we don't believe in starting with a procedure.
We start by understanding you, and every nuance that makes your skin and anatomy unique.
Your skin tone, biology, anatomy, lifestyle, priorities, and stage in life all influence which treatments will deliver the most meaningful results. Just as importantly, thoughtful aesthetic care means recognizing when a treatment isn't necessary—or when a different approach may serve you better. We may even suggest reversal or a move away from prior treatments you have had in the past if those treatments are not serving your unique needs and beauty.
The goal is not to recommend more. It is to recommend what fits your aesthetic goals in the most natural and sustainable way.
Your Personalized Plan
Following your assessment, Dr. Sadeghpour develops a personalized plan designed around your individual priorities and long-term goals.
Together, you will discuss:
The concerns most important to you
What Dr. Sadeghpour sees clinically
Treatment options and realistic outcomes
Which treatments should be prioritized—and which can wait
Timing, recovery, and maintenance
Budget considerations
Preventative and corrective strategies
Medical-grade skincare when appropriate
Your plan may include injectable treatments, lasers and energy-based devices, regenerative treatments, medical skincare—or simply guidance on how to care for your skin now and over time.
There is no predetermined treatment pathway, and every plan is designed step by step for your individual needs.
The SkinMed Difference
With an ever-expanding number of cosmetic treatments, devices, and technologies available, knowing what not to do can be just as important as knowing what to do.
As a board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained cosmetic dermatologic surgeon, Dr. Sadeghpour brings together expertise in skin biology, facial anatomy, laser medicine, injectables, and regenerative treatments to evaluate your concerns comprehensively rather than through the lens of a single procedure.
Her recommendations are informed by years of clinical practice, research, scientific publications, textbook contributions, national physician education, and leadership in cosmetic dermatology. Furthermore, Dr. Sadeghpour’s passion and eye for art and design allows her not only to see what others may miss, but to execute her procedures with a keen eye for balance, harmony and texture that honors and elevates the beauty and uniqueness of the patient in front of her.
Your Starting Point
Whether you know exactly what concerns you or simply feel that something has changed, you do not need to arrive knowing which treatment you need.
That is what the Aesthetic Assessment & Plan is designed to determine.
Together, we establish a foundation for care that considers where you are today, where you would like to go, and how to get there thoughtfully—with results that remain natural, balanced, and uniquely yours.
