GENERAL FAQ
At I Care Beauty Clinic, every treatment begins with a personalized consultation to understand your goals, skin condition, medical history, and lifestyle. Our doctors and medical aesthetic practitioners develop customized treatment plans rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
We combine advanced technologies, evidence-based treatments, and professional clinical judgment to help patients achieve natural-looking results while prioritizing safety, honesty, and long-term skin health.
Yes.
New patients receive an appropriate consultation and assessment before treatment. During your consultation, we assess your concerns, medical history, treatment goals, medications, allergies, previous cosmetic procedures, and any potential contraindications.

I Care Beauty Clinic prioritizes the use of products, devices, and technologies that comply with applicable Canadian regulatory requirements.
Where required, medical devices used by the clinic are appropriately licensed for sale in Canada by Health Canada. Regulatory requirements vary depending on the product, device, technology, and intended use.

Patient safety is our highest priority.

No.
Every individual responds differently to aesthetic treatments due to biological variation, age, genetics, lifestyle, medications, smoking or vaping, skincare routine, and many other factors.

Following your consultation, your practitioner will develop a customized treatment plan outlining recommended treatments, the recommended or estimated number of sessions, treatment intervals, preparation instructions, aftercare, and realistic expectations.
