A little clarity
Good questions.
Thoughtful answers.
You don’t need all the answers before you begin.
Just a little room to ask.
Choosing a treatment
How do I know which treatment is right for me?
You do not need to arrive knowing exactly which treatment you need. That is what your consultation is for.
We start by listening to what you would like to change, what has been bothering you, and what you would realistically like to achieve. From there, we can talk you through the treatments that may be suitable for you, explain how they work and help you understand your options.
If we do not feel a treatment is right for you, we will tell you. The aim is to recommend what makes sense for your body and your goals, rather than simply booking you into a treatment.
Can treatments be combined?
Yes, in some cases different treatments can complement one another and form part of the same treatment plan.
For example, your goals may involve more than one concern, such as contouring an area while also focusing on the appearance of the skin. During your consultation, we can explore whether combining treatments would be appropriate and explain why we are recommending each one.
Your plan is always based on your individual needs, suitability and comfort.
During treatment
What happens during a consultation?
Your consultation is a relaxed conversation about you, your goals and any concerns you may have.
We will talk through the area you would like to focus on, your expectations, relevant health information and the treatments that may be suitable. You will also have the opportunity to ask as many questions as you need.
We will explain what the treatment involves, what it may feel like, the expected aftercare and what you can realistically expect from a course of treatment.
There is no pressure to make a decision on the spot. We want you to feel informed and comfortable before choosing whether to proceed.
What will my treatment feel like?
The experience varies depending on the treatment and the area being treated.
Before we begin, we will explain what you are likely to feel so there are no surprises. Some treatments may feel warm, cooling, firm or stimulating, while others can feel similar to a massage.
Your comfort matters throughout your appointment, so please tell us at any point if something feels uncomfortable or if you would like us to stop or adjust the treatment.
After treatment
Is there downtime?
Downtime depends on the treatment and how your body responds.
Many of our treatments are designed to fit comfortably around everyday life, but we do not assume that every treatment will feel exactly the same for every person.
During your consultation, we will explain what you may notice afterwards and whether there is anything you should consider when planning work, exercise, social events or other commitments.
Where can I find aftercare information?
We will talk you through the aftercare that applies to your treatment before you leave, so you know how to look after the area and what to expect afterwards.
You will also receive follow-up aftercare information by email, giving you something to refer back to at home.
If you are ever unsure about something following your appointment, please contact us rather than worrying in silence. We would much rather you ask.
Booking and consultations
How do I book?
Start by requesting a consultation through our website and tell us a little about what you would like to explore.
We will get in touch to answer any initial questions, understand what you are looking for and arrange a consultation at a suitable time.
You do not need to know which treatment you want before getting in touch. Your consultation is there to help you understand your options and decide what feels right for you.
No payment is taken through this website.
Where is the studio and when is it open?
ShapedChic is at 29 High St, Old Town, Hemel Hempstead HP1 3AA. Visits are by appointment only: Monday to Friday, 6pm–8pm, and Saturday to Sunday, 9am–6pm.
Results and expectations
How many sessions might I need?
There is no single number that is right for everyone.
The number of sessions we may recommend depends on the treatment, the area being treated, your starting point and what you would like to achieve.
During your consultation, we will discuss what a realistic treatment plan could look like for you. We will never promise a particular result, and we would rather set realistic expectations than recommend more treatment than we genuinely believe is appropriate.
Can I see before-and-after results?
Yes. You can visit our Results page to see approved before-and-after photographs from Shaped Chic clients.
Where possible, we provide context around the treatment so you can understand what was carried out rather than viewing an image in isolation.
Every body responds differently, so previous results cannot guarantee what you will experience. All client photographs are shared with permission and we never use invented before-and-after photographs or fictional testimonials.
Your goals. Your pace. Your plan.
