One day, a client visited for a filler consultation due to hollowness in their temples.
They showed various photos and said.
"I want to look like this."
This is probably a common scene in many clinics.
I encounter it often.
However, that day, I did not recommend the procedure.
The result they expected was in a direction that was difficult to achieve naturally given their current facial structure.
Everyone has a different anatomical structure.
Even if a filler were performed, the structure would inevitably lead to a different result than the image they desired.
So, I did not perform the procedure and spent a long time explaining why it should not be done.
Sio's consultations are different.
I do not simply divide consultations into
"This is possible / This is not possible."
Consultations designed to provide 'understanding' through sufficient conversation,
rather than just 'explanation'.
Sio's consultations are designed that way.
In the end, the client decided not to proceed with the procedure,
and later became a regular client who places the most trust in me.
And one day, they told me this.
"The courage and confidence to not recommend something was very impressive."
Cosmetic procedures require design,
and design requires accurate interpretation.
Diverse experience is crucial for accurate interpretation.
Experience -> Interpretation -> Design
In the case of filler consultations,
I consult by looking together at suitable cases from hundreds of cases I have personally performed.
I show them the results they can expect after the procedure.
A large amount of data is necessary to predict the outcome.
Nowadays, with the speed of SNS and images, I often hear requests like,
'Please make me look like this face.'
However, a face is a structure, not just an image.
Even if some shapes can be imitated, the same results cannot be achieved from different structures.
Therefore, at Sio, we always
explain the basic structure,
and sincerely guide them on what is possible and what is not.
The choice not to proceed is sometimes the most difficult choice.
Sio's treatments are not decided quickly or lightly.
The attitude of not performing unnecessary procedures.
That is the core of the design that Sio upholds.
When Sio says 'once is enough',
it doesn't just mean reducing the number of times.
It means that even that one choice must be sincere.
The day I did not recommend filler,
I felt once again that 'treatment without procedure' is the most difficult decision.
And that was the moment Sio's treatment began.
