Treatment can cause discomfort and reactions. \u201cPainless\u201d and \u201crisk-free\u201d are not appropriate guarantees.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before starting, ask what response to expect, how to recognize a problem and whom to contact afterward. If an explanation is unclear, ask for it to be rephrased before making a decision.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full plblog26-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/polancolaser.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/mitos-tonos-de-piel.jpg\" alt=\"Two adult women with different skin tones, illustrative image\" class=\"wp-image-2761\" srcset=\"https:\/\/polancolaser.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/mitos-tonos-de-piel.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/polancolaser.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/mitos-tonos-de-piel-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/polancolaser.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/mitos-tonos-de-piel-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/polancolaser.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/mitos-tonos-de-piel-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1536px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group plblog26-text is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"plblog26-caption wp-block-paragraph\">Illustrative AI-generated image; not a patient or treatment result.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group plblog26-text is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"en-parte-5\">Your first consultation checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Confirm the exact area, what the service includes, current cost, package terms and follow-up.
