What happens at consultation
During this 15-minute consultation we discuss your hair removal goals, any relevant medical history, current medications, and previous skin treatments. The technician will review suitability factors and answer questions so you can understand risks and options without obligation. The meeting is focused and designed for busy schedules common in Astoria.
If the conversation suggests a patch test is appropriate, we proceed to apply a small, controlled test on a discrete area. That test gives both you and the technician information about how your skin responds and whether any precautions should be taken before scheduling a full session.
Patch test and safety check
The patch test is a small, localized check performed during the appointment to observe your skin’s immediate response. It helps identify sensitivity and informs whether the standard treatment pathway is advisable, without committing you to a full session. We document the test and discuss any reactions you notice after you leave.
Several factors shape test observations and treatment suitability: recent sun exposure, topical products on the area, and medications that affect skin sensitivity. Bring a list of products and prescriptions so we can consider those when interpreting the patch test and planning next steps.
Timing and local convenience
The service is brief — 15 minutes — and provided at no charge (Price: $0), making it well suited to after-work or weekend planning for commuters. DOLLFACE’s Ditmars-Steinway location is easily reached from the N/W Ditmars Boulevard station, letting clients combine the visit with nearby errands or a stop at Astoria Park.
This quick, no-cost appointment is intended to give you clear information and a safe path forward. If the consultation and patch test indicate you’re a candidate, our team will explain scheduling and next steps so you can decide when to proceed.
