Read up, then ask
The four guides below are short. They explain what each kind of treatment is, the questions that come up most, and what to have ready for a consultation.
They are written to help you have a better conversation with a provider in Des Moines. They cannot tell you what you should have done. Only a licensed provider who sees you can do that.
Skin consultation
Start with questions. A provider can explain what a facial, peel or microneedling session involves before anything is planned.
Wrinkle relaxers
Learn what wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers are in general terms, then send a request to talk with a licensed provider.
Laser consults
Laser hair removal usually takes a series of sessions. A provider can explain what that may look like for you.

Before you send a request
Is Truthwriting Skin Consults a med spa?
No. Truthwriting Skin Consults is a website that passes consultation requests to local providers. It has no clinic, no staff and no providers, and it does not treat anyone.
Who will contact me?
The provider who receives your request contacts you, by phone, text or email, as covered by the consent box on the form. Truthwriting Skin Consults does not call you.
Is the information on this site medical advice?
No. The pages here are general information to help you understand treatments and prepare questions. Only a licensed provider who sees you can advise you. For anything that worries you, see a doctor.
Do I have to go ahead after a consultation?
No. A consultation is a chance to ask questions and hear what a licensed provider thinks is suitable. You can go home, think it over, compare other providers, or decide not to go ahead.
What if something worries me after a treatment?
Contact the provider who treated you. If you have pain, bleeding, swelling that gets worse, fever or signs of infection, see a doctor or seek urgent care.
