Skin Consultation & Diagnostic Assessment
A thorough, honest assessment of your skin before any treatment is suggested. Every plan at the clinic in Maldives starts here, whether you know exactly what you want or have no idea where to begin.
What the consultation covers
We assess your skin type, look for early signs of ageing, check any moles or lesions you are concerned about, and screen for conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, fungal skin infections and skin allergies. From there we build a personalised skincare plan, and recommend any in-clinic treatment only if it is genuinely worth doing.
What to expect
An in-person exam under good light, a conversation about your history and goals, and an honest recommendation, including telling you plainly if nothing needs to be done right now.
Who it suits
- Anyone starting out who is not sure what they need
- Patients wanting a second, unhurried opinion
- Ongoing skin concerns that have not been formally assessed
- Anyone booking their first visit to the clinic
What results look like over time
The outcome of this visit is a plan, not a treatment result, you leave with a clear, written recommendation and timeline for whatever comes next.
Often paired with
This is the natural starting point before any other treatment on this site, recommended for anyone unsure where to begin.
Who might want to wait
There is no one this consultation is not for, it is designed as the right starting point whether you are completely new to treatments or simply unsure what to try next.
Common myth
“Does booking a consultation mean I have to commit to treatment?” – No. It is a no-pressure conversation. Many patients leave with just a plan to think over, and book treatment later or not at all.

Frequently asked questions
What happens during a skin consultation?
A skin consultation is a diagnostic assessment where Dr. Alaa examines your skin, discusses your concerns and goals, and builds a personalised plan before any treatment is recommended.
Do I need a consultation before booking a treatment?
Yes. Every plan, from a single peel to an injectable, starts with an assessment so the recommendation actually fits your skin.
What if I do not know what I want?
That is the most common starting point. Describe what bothers you and Dr. Alaa will map the options honestly.
Can you diagnose skin conditions like eczema?
We can assess and guide management of common conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and fungal skin infections, and refer onward if specialist care is needed.
Is the consultation itself a treatment?
No, it is a medical assessment. Any treatment that follows is a separate, clearly explained step.
