Dr. Ourian sees each patient himself. He looks at what is actually bothering you, often against photos from ten years ago, explains what can be done, and shows you in a mirror. The result is a prioritized plan, done in one sitting or spread over time. Prices are set per plan, which is why this section does not publish them.

What the consultation covers

What you need, not a fixed package.

“That's why we have consultations. I see my patients to see what they actually need, and based on that, we design a program for them” “It is my job. I sit down with them. I explain to them what are the things we can do and what I think is going to help them to look better. And once we've had that conversation, I give them a menu.”

He shows the patient what he means in a mirror, so the decision is made together.

“And I can show it to you in front of you in front in mirror. We can decide what is going on”

How a plan is built

As a list in order of impact. The patient can do it all at once or step by step as the face changes.

“Bill, I can give you many of the things you can do, and I give you a priority of what I think will help you the most.” “we can use these non-surgical facelift all at once or incrementally as you age, and we can mix and match kind of like a puzzle based on how your face is aging.”

Injectable work is added gradually.

“It's better to do it slowly. I have a very gradual process to it”

How fast results show

Treatment	When results show
Shaping injections (lips, nose, chin)	Immediately
Coolaser	After two or three days of recovery
Regenerative injections	At about three months

Maintenance

A plan includes upkeep. He gives a calendar rather than a one-time fix.

“I tell people to do the CoolLaser once a year to maintain what they have”

Treatment	Maintenance on record
Botox	Fairly regularly, lasting around two to four months
Treatment	Maintenance on record
Coolaser	Once a year at most
Regenerative injections	At least every couple of years

Privacy

What is discussed at a consultation stays there. He does not point out who has had treatment.

“If they don't like to talk about it, it's none of my business to point it out.”

Why prices are not published

Every plan is built for one patient, so a number printed here would be wrong for most readers. Pricing is discussed at consultation.

What to ask any provider

Whoever you see, find out who will actually treat you and what product they will use.

“So, do your research and find someone who really knows how to give you those fantastic results.” “if you use FDA approved products, the results are fantastic.”

Who will perform the treatment, and can I meet them first?
Which product will be used, and is it FDA approved?
What exactly will be done, and in what order?
What does maintenance look like after this?

What should I ask before any aesthetic treatment?
