One day, a client came in for a filler consultation regarding temple hollows.
She showed me various photos and said,
"I want to look like this."
This is a scene many clinics encounter.
I see it often too.
However, that day, I did not recommend the procedure.
The result she was expecting was difficult to achieve naturally given her current facial structure.
Everyone has a different anatomical structure.
Even if we proceeded with fillers, the structure meant the result would inevitably differ from the image she wanted.
So, instead of performing the procedure, I spent a long time explaining why it should not be done.
Sio's consultation is different.
I do not simply divide consultations into
"This is possible / not possible."
Rather than just an 'explanation,'
it is a consultation that provides 'understanding' through sufficient dialogue.
Sio's consultations are designed that way.
In the end, she decided not to undergo the procedure,
and she has since become a regular client who places the greatest trust in me.
And one day, she told me this:
“The courage and conviction to not recommend a procedure were very impressive.”
Aesthetic procedures require a design,
and a design requires accurate interpretation.
Diverse experience is essential for accurate interpretation.
Experience -> Interpretation -> Design
For filler consultations,
I consult by looking at suitable cases among the hundreds I have performed myself.
I show you the results you can expect after the procedure.
You need a lot of data to predict the outcome.
Nowadays, with the speed of social media and images,
I often hear requests like, "Please make me look like this face."
However, a face is a structure, not an image.
Even if you can mimic some shapes, you cannot create the same result on different structures.
That is why at Sio, we always
explain from the basic structure,
and sincerely guide you on what is possible and what is not.
Choosing not to do something is sometimes the most difficult choice.
Sio's medical care is not decided quickly or lightly.
An attitude of not performing unnecessary procedures.
That is the core of the design that Sio upholds.
When Sio says, 'Once is enough,'
it does not just mean reducing the number of sessions.
It means that even that one choice must be sincere.
That day when I did not recommend the filler,
I felt once again that 'care that does not involve a procedure'
is the most difficult decision.
And that,
was the moment Sio's medical care began.
