Why you must start every body contouring consultation with this Needs Assessment Form
We hear this type of conversation every day at our medical spa.
Staff: “What brings you here? What would you like us to help you improve with your body?”
Client: “I need everything (chuckling)!”
It’s human nature to focus on our flaws. We all do it. But most clients don’t have the budget to improve everything all at once. We must help them prioritize their concerns and focus on realistic expectations. Our Needs Assessment Form pushes the client to do just that – to focus and make choices. So before you even sit down with your client for the body contouring consultation, ask her to complete our Needs Assessment Form, which you can get as a FREE DOWNLOAD in this article.
The goal of the body contouring consultation
The body contouring consultation should be a combination of interpreting your client’s goals, skillfully tailoring a treatment plan to provide the client’s expected results, and initiating a long term trusting relationship.

You need these particulars to design the perfect treatment plan for your clients.
- What areas of the body does your client want improved
- What conditions does your client want you to improve
- Your client’s body concerns ranked in order of priority

- How soon is she planning to get started with her treatments

Your treatment plan should be designed based on your client’s goals, priorities and expectations.
