Nervous About Your Injectables Consultation? Here’s What It’s Like at SUR MedSpa
By SUR MedSpa (Medical Spa) - Marietta, GA | July 18, 2026
We hear this all the time: you’re interested in Botox or fillers, but you’re nervous you’ll feel rushed, pressured, or talked into something. At SUR MedSpa, people tell us we “make you comfortable asking questions” and that we explain everything thoroughly, then check in during the appointment to make sure you’re doing ok and don’t need adjustments. That’s exactly the vibe we keep for an injectables consultation.
Your consultation is straightforward. We’ll review your health history, talk through your goals, assess facial anatomy, explain options like neurotoxins (Botox or Dysport) and dermal fillers, and map out a plan with pricing. No nonsense. No pushiness. Just a clear plan you can feel good about, especially if you’re coming in from Marietta or stopping by along the Sandy Plains corridor in East Cobb.
Quick timing note: our injectables consultation is booked as 30 minutes. In that time, we can get very clear on what you want and what makes sense for your face.
Your pre-consultation checklist (the stuff that actually helps)
A great consult starts before you walk in. Here’s what we recommend so your 30 minutes feels productive and pressure-free.
- Bring your medication and supplement list. This matters for safety and for bruise risk. If you’re taking blood thinners or you like to use supplements that can thin the blood, let us know so we can guide you.
- Skip alcohol for 24 to 48 hours beforehand when you can. It often helps reduce the chance of extra bruising with fillers.
- Hold off on NSAIDs and blood-thinning supplements only if your prescriber approves. We’re happy to talk through what you’re on and what’s realistic for you. Don’t change meds on your own.
- Bring 2 to 3 reference photos of the look you like. Not “a different face, ” just the vibe. Soft forehead, a certain lip shape, less under-eye shadow, things like that.
- Tell us your dates. If you’ve got a wedding, vacation, or family photos, mention it up front so we can plan around swelling or bruising windows.
Real talk: people come to us because they’re tired of being overcharged or sold on things they didn’t ask for. We keep your plan simple, explain your options, and let you decide the pace.
Step-by-step: what happens during your Botox or filler consultation
When you arrive, check-in is meant to be quick. People regularly mention we greet them with a smile and “took me right back, ” and that matters when you’re fitting an appointment into real life. If you’re commuting via I-75 or I-575, those late-afternoon, post-commute stops in East Cobb can feel a lot less stressful when you’re not sitting in a waiting room forever.
1) We start with your goals and what bothers you
We’ll ask what you’re noticing, what you’ve tried, and what “natural” means to you. Some people want softer movement lines. Others want volume back or a little more structure. And if you’re not sure, that’s fine. One client put it perfectly: the consult “opened my eyes to all kinds of possibilities without pushing products or services on me.” That’s the point. You should leave informed, not talked into anything.
2) We review health history and bruise risk
We’ll go over medications, supplements, allergies, past cosmetic work, and anything that changes how we plan. If we think you should reschedule for your best outcome, we’ll say so. People have told us they appreciated being kindly asked to reschedule when it wasn’t the right time, instead of being pushed through a service.
3) Facial assessment and option talk (Botox, Dysport, fillers)
Your injector will look at how your face moves and where support has shifted. Then we talk through what neurotoxins can do (soften expression lines and balance certain muscle pulls) and what fillers can do (restore volume, refine contours, or enhance lips). Our plans focus on natural-looking results and balanced rejuvenation, because “done” isn’t the goal. Looking refreshed is.
4) Pricing before anything starts, then your decision
If you decide to treat the same day, we’ll confirm consent forms, do pre-injection checks, and go over cost clearly first. One of our Botox clients specifically mentioned we made sure they knew the exact cost prior to starting. Same-day injections are sometimes possible, but not guaranteed. It depends on your medical history, timing, and what’s safest for you.

After your consult or injections: swelling, bruising, and timing in real life
If you consult only, you can go right back to your day. If you do injectables the same day, plan for the most common, normal stuff: mild swelling, a little tenderness, and the chance of bruising, especially with fillers.
Event planning rule of thumb: give yourself 3 to 14 days before big events, depending on what you’re doing and how you bruise. If you’re the type who marks easily, we’ll build in more buffer.
Summer tip for Marietta heat
Right after injections, we generally recommend avoiding intense heat and heavy sweating for a bit. In a Marietta summer, that can mean skipping a midday outdoor workout and keeping sun and heat exposure light immediately afterward. Scheduling early or later in the day can help if you’re sensitive to heat and pollen.
When you’ll see results
Botox and Dysport don’t show full results instantly. Fillers often look more immediate, but swelling can hide the final look at first. We’ll set expectations during your visit so you’re not staring in the mirror at hour six thinking something went wrong.
Confidence tips we give first-timers in East Cobb (and why people keep coming back)
If you’re new to “tweakments, ” start conservative. It’s easier to add than to undo. That “naturally enhanced” look people talk about comes from a plan that respects your face, not trends.
Ask every question you’ve been holding back. People mention our team is kind, knowledgeable, and that we make you feel comfortable “from the second you walk in.” That’s not accidental. We’d rather you slow us down and understand your options than leave unsure.
And if you’re squeezing this into a busy week, our Sandy Plains corridor location is an easy stop for Marietta, Kennesaw, Woodstock, Acworth, Smyrna, and Roswell. A lot of our regulars started with one consult, then found their rhythm because the process felt clear, prices made sense, and follow-up actually happened.
If you want a simple next step: call us and tell our team you’re booking an injectables consultation and whether you’re hoping for same-day injections. We’ll guide you on timing, especially if you’re planning around a weekend trip or a big event.
