- "It's too expensive."
- Validate the concern, pivot to the concept of a one-time, permanent investment vs. ongoing temporary costs, and mention financing options/complimentary consultation.

- Validate the concern, cite Dr. V's experience/successful procedures, and emphasize the consultation includes viewing real before-and-after photos for realistic expectations.
- "I want to try other products first."
- Acknowledge this common path, but position the consultation as an evaluation to determine if products are viable or if a permanent solution is more beneficial.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Procedural Questions
