I don't know what to ask when I get my first acne skin care consultation lol

This time, I really plan to get a consultation instead of just searching on my own haha. But now that I'm actually trying to make an appointment, I'm worried again about what to ask when I get there.

I haven't had much experience with proper skincare, so I want to know why my current condition keeps recurring.

In an acne skincare consultation, do you usually start by talking about when you started worrying about it or what products you typically use?

I tend to follow a pattern where I'm fine for a while and then suddenly have a lot of posts, so I think it would be helpful to show you a few recent photos.

And when I start acne skincare, is it okay if I say that instead of trying to do everything at once from day one, I’d like to start with what I need most right now and do it in order?

I'm not exactly sure if my skin is sensitive or what kind of treatments cause redness to last a long time, so I want to start as conservatively as possible at first haha.

I also want to decide the frequency and interval of treatments based on my condition, rather than strictly following a fixed method.

Is it okay to ask about realistic things like costs and recovery time right from the start during the consultation? I'm worried it might be embarrassing to ask too many trivial questions.

For those of you receiving a consultation for acne skin care for the first time, which questions were the most helpful?

On the other hand, please let me know if there is anything you regretted asking after coming home, thinking, "Ah, I should have asked that."

This time, rather than making a hasty decision, I’d like to get a consultation and take my time figuring out what works best for my skin. :)
