Clearer decisions start with better questions.
Skin and treatment guides
Understand the concern, the assessment and the trade-offs before deciding whether a treatment belongs in your plan.
Start with the concern
Three useful places to begin.
These guides explain why two concerns that look similar may require different treatment planning. They are educational starting points, not a diagnosis.
02
Pigment or melasma?
Sun spots, post-acne marks and melasma can look alike but behave differently. Assessment helps avoid the wrong intensity or trigger.

Prepare for consultation
Bring your priorities, medical history, previous treatments and realistic downtime. A clear consultation makes every option easier to evaluate.

Consultation worksheet
Bring the pattern,
not a treatment request.
A useful consultation starts with what changed, what you have tried and what level of recovery fits your life. These three prompts help the doctor understand the full context.
Build a timeline
When did the concern begin, and does it stay constant or change with stress, products, hormones or the weather?
List what you have tried
Bring the names of skincare, medication and previous procedures—including what helped, irritated or made no difference.
Define your priorities
Explain the change that matters most, the downtime you can manage and any result you want to avoid.
Before choosing
A treatment name is only one part of the decision.
A responsible plan considers the diagnosis, your anatomy or skin type, the likely benefit, the trade-offs and how recovery fits your life.
01
Define the concern
Describe what has changed, when it started and what outcome would feel meaningful. Photos over time can help when a concern fluctuates.
02
Identify the driver
Texture, pigment, inflammation, volume, movement and laxity can overlap. The visible feature is not always the underlying cause.
03
Compare trade-offs
Ask about downtime, discomfort, number of sessions, maintenance, risks, alternatives and what happens if you decide not to treat.
04
Plan follow-up
Good care includes aftercare, a way to ask questions and a review point when response, healing or the next stage needs assessment.

Information should help you ask better questions—not sell certainty.
Every treatment has limitations. Results, recovery and suitability vary, and some concerns need medical investigation or referral rather than an aesthetic procedure. Dr Kenneth Lee uses consultation to explain the options, likely trade-offs and when not to proceed.
Common questions
Using these resources.
Can a guide tell me which treatment I need?
No. The guides explain common pathways, but diagnosis and suitability require assessment of your skin, anatomy, history, medications and goals.
Are treatment results guaranteed?
No. Response, downtime, session count and maintenance vary between individuals. Expected benefits, limitations and risks are discussed before treatment.
What should I bring to a consultation?
Bring a medication and allergy list, details of previous procedures, relevant skincare, your preferred downtime and the questions that matter most to you.
