Choosing the right aesthetic clinic aligned with your values is crucial to ensure your journey toward timeless beauty is tailored to your goals. It’s a delicate balance between maintaining authenticity and achieving the desired enhancement. In your commitment to aging gracefully, look for clinics that prioritize authenticity and safety.
Understand Your Needs and Goals in Choosing the Right Aesthetic Clinic
If you value authenticity and prefer a conservative approach to beauty, understanding what you want in a provider is crucial in choosing the right aesthetic clinic.
Self-reflect by answering these questions:
Define Your Aesthetic Goals: What changes or enhancements are you envisioning? Is it about rejuvenation, subtle enhancements or addressing specific concerns?
Understand Your Comfort Zone: How comfortable are you with changing? Are you looking for a noticeable transformation, or do you prefer changes to be subtle and gradual?
Explore Your Values: How important is authenticity to you in aesthetic treatments? Do you prioritize a natural look that reflects your true self?
Consider Longevity: Are you seeking treatments with long-lasting results, or do you prefer more temporary solutions? Understanding the longevity of desired outcomes is vital.
Prioritize Areas of Focus: Are there specific areas of your body you’re most concerned about? Identifying these focal points helps tailor your treatments to your needs.
When you come to the Shaman’s Leawood Total Wellness clinic, these are some questions I’ll be asking you, so it’s great to prepare ahead of time. Your answers will give me an idea about what you want and how I can help you better.
Authenticity and Transparency
When seeking authenticity in aesthetic clinics, think of it as a two-way conversation — like you’re talking to a new friend you’re getting to know — and keep the tips below in mind.
Review Patient Testimonials
Authenticity often reveals itself in the experiences of others. Our patient testimonials can give you insights into how our clinic operates and whether it aligns with your values.
Don’t just read testimonials. If possible, reach out to our former patients directly. Ask them about their experiences during treatments and post-treatment periods. You often uncover valuable, unspoken aspects of a clinic’s authenticity in these candid conversations.
Observe Communication Style
The Art of Conversation: A transparent clinic openly discusses every aspect of your potential treatment.
Clarity and Transparency: Assess the clinic’s communication style. Does it exude clarity or leave you with more questions than answers? Transparency in discussing potential outcomes and associated risks and answering your questions can signal authenticity.
Beyond the Initial Contact: Extend your assessment beyond the initial contact. Engage with the clinic through websites, social media accounts, emails, phone calls and in-person visits. Consistency in their communication style across different platforms indicates reliability and authenticity.
In-Depth Consultations: A transparent clinic often offers in-depth consultations where they take the time to understand your goals, address concerns and provide comprehensive information about potential treatments. This thorough approach reflects their commitment to ensuring you make informed decisions.
Want to see for yourself? Our social media pages are a great place to start. They’ll give you a good handle on the vibes of our clinic and a peek into how our staff interacts with real clients.
Set Realistic Expectations
The Litmus Test for Authenticity: A reputable clinic ensures that your expectations align with achievable outcomes, preventing overpromising or creating unrealistic beauty ideals.
Open Discussion: Look for a clinic encouraging open discussions about what can be achieved. Authenticity in managing expectations is a service and a commitment to your satisfaction and well-being.
Clarifying the Fine Print: Before committing to any treatment, ensure you fully understand the terms, conditions and potential risks. A transparent clinic provides comprehensive information, leaving no room for ambiguity.
Safety Standards and Credentials
The Kansas Medical Society (KMS) issued aesthetic clinic safety standards and credentials. Here are practical steps for individuals seeking aesthetic procedures aligned with the KMS’s policy:
Certification Check: Investigate the clinic’s certifications. Ensure they are accredited by relevant medical boards and certifications are visibly displayed within the clinic premises or on their website.
Staff Qualifications: Scrutinize the medical staff’s qualifications. A credible clinic will readily provide information about the expertise and qualifications of its practitioners.
Hygiene Practices: Observe the clinic’s hygiene practices. A clean and organized environment is a tangible sign of a commitment to your well-being.
By adhering to these recommendations, you can make informed decisions regarding safety standards and credentials when choosing an aesthetic clinic.

Clinic Reputation
Take time to learn how the clinic’s reputation holds up.
Online Reviews: Dive into online reviews. Platforms like Google, Yelp or specialized review sites offer opinions and experiences to help you understand the clinic’s reputation. Don’t forget to check social media, too.
Ask for Referrals: Don’t hesitate to ask the clinic for referrals or speak to past clients. A reputable clinic will gladly connect you with satisfied customers who can share firsthand experiences.
Evaluating Treatment Options
Here are practical tips for exploring treatments that resonate with your vision:
Research Clinics’ Offerings: A clinic’s commitment to staying up-to-date with the latest treatment options can make or break your decision to seek treatment there. Look at the clinic’s website or contact them directly to understand the range of treatments they offer to know that they can provide what you’re seeking out.
Tailored Solutions: Seek clinics that offer services tailored to diverse needs. A clinic that understands the individual’s uniqueness ensures a personalized approach to your aesthetic journey.
According to a study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Surgery, “The clinician’s ability to recognize these four primary archetypes (beautification, positive aging, transformation and correction) may provide a useful frame of reference to understand patient motives better, anticipate and manage their expectations and provide the appropriate treatment guidance that best serves the long‐term goals of their patients.”
Before-and-After Galleries: Most reputable clinics showcase before-and-after images on their websites or offices to help show the effectiveness of their treatments. In our clinic, we absolutely love when clients allow us to share images of their transformation with others.
The Consultation Process: What to Expect
A study published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal found, “Although both physicians and respondents cited cost as a major barrier to seeking aesthetic treatments, respondents also emphasized safety, fear of injections or procedure-related pain, and concern about unnatural-looking outcomes.” So, it’s important to address these concerns during the consultation.
At Shaman’s Leawood and Wellness Center, consultation is always complimentary, and they are really vital before the start of any treatment. This allows me to know and understand your aesthetic goals — maybe it’s a picture of how you looked five years ago or a milestone you want to achieve. A consultation lets me gauge if these are achievable and if I can offer that service. It also gives me an idea if it’s a combination of treatments that could potentially be done by a plastic surgeon or through laser treatments.
Then, I’ll assess your anatomy. This assessment will give more detailed information on how long the treatment will be and what steps are needed to achieve those goals. These will set your expectations so you don’t leave the clinic wondering what the game plan is.
Cost Considerations
Consider these tips in navigating the financial aspect of your choices:
Budget for Treatments: Be transparent about your budget from the outset. A good clinic will work with you to create a plan that aligns with your financial comfort zone while ensuring quality service.
Explore Current Promos: Explore the clinic’s promos to ensure that the financial aspect of your options doesn’t compromise the quality of service you receive. Our monthly promotions are a fantastic way to save some money without sacrificing any of the perks of choosing to undergo treatment here in our clinic.
While budgeting is crucial, it’s equally important to strike a balance between cost and the quality of service. Remember, your investment is not just in the procedures but in the overall experience and results.
Making the Decision: Combining Research with Instinct
In making the decision, consider these practical steps:
Weigh Pros and Cons: Create a list of the pros and cons based on your research and consultations. This tangible overview can assist in making a decision grounded in facts.
Trust Your Gut Feeling: Trust your instincts. If a particular clinic feels right and aligns with your values, it strongly indicates that you’re on the right path.
Take Your Time: This decision is not a race. Give yourself the time to reflect on your research, consultations and feelings. Rushed decisions may lead to dissatisfaction, whereas a thoughtful approach ensures a satisfying conclusion to your beauty journey.
By incorporating these practical tips, you’re well-informed that each decision contributes to a seamless and satisfying aesthetic transformation.
