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.
Every new patient receives a consultation before treatment. During your consultation, we assess your concerns, medical history, treatment goals, medications, allergies, previous cosmetic procedures, and any contraindications.
Some treatments may be performed on the same day if they are determined to be safe and appropriate by your practitioner.
We prioritize using products and technologies that comply with applicable Canadian regulatory requirements where required. Device licensing and approvals vary depending on the technology and intended clinical use.
During your consultation, your practitioner will explain the technology selected for your treatment, discuss its suitability, and answer any questions regarding safety and regulatory status.
Patient safety is our highest priority.
Before recommending any procedure, we carefully evaluate your medical history, medications, allergies, skin condition, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, previous cosmetic procedures, and treatment goals.
If a treatment is not considered safe or appropriate, we may recommend postponing treatment or suggest a better alternative.
Every person has different skin, anatomy, concerns, and expectations.
Rather than choosing a treatment yourself, our practitioners assess your concerns and recommend the treatment—or combination of treatments—that is most appropriate for your individual needs.
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.
While we make every professional effort to achieve the best possible outcome, no clinic can ethically guarantee a specific cosmetic result or duration of results.
Yes.
Following your consultation, your practitioner will develop a customized treatment plan outlining recommended treatments, expected number of sessions, treatment intervals, preparation instructions, aftercare, and realistic expectations.

If your practitioner determines that treatment is appropriate and safe, many procedures can be performed during the same appointment.
