Good Faith Exam (GFE)

 

What Is a Good Faith Exam?

  • A good faith exam (GFE) is a quick medical quick visit required Artistry Aesthetics for treatments involving injectables, prescription-strength products or devices
  • At Artistry Aesthetics, your health and safety always come first. Because we are a medical spa, we require that every new client — and once a year for returning clients — completes a Good Faith Exam with one of our licensed medical providers.
  • We review your medical history, check for any contraindications (such as health conditions or medications that may conflict with treatments), and answer your medical questions. 
  • We use Telehealth in our office for your convenience. We ensure you are a safe candidate for aesthetic procedures.  It is an important step that sets us apart as a responsible, compliant, and trustworthy med spa.

Why Do I Need This Exam?

You might wonder why this extra step is required. Here’s why it matters:

  • In Minnesota, compliant  med spas perform this exam for safety and compliance.
  • It’s for your protection: Certain medical conditions or medications can affect treatment outcomes — this exam ensures we keep you safe.
  • It’s personalized: Your provider uses the information from your exam to make sure treatments are tailored just for you.

Why Is There a $39 Charge?

The $39 covers the cost of the medical provider’s time and expertise. Just like any other medical service, this exam involves a licensed professional speaking directly to you via video, reviewing your health and ensuring your safety.

Think of it as your ​”foundation for care​” ​ A small but essential investment in your overall treatment plan.

When you complete your exam you will have the option to receive a complimentary Vitamin D or B12 Injection at your appointment, to further support your treatment and wellness goals! 


Why This Benefits You

  • Peace of Mind: You’ll know your treatments are safe and medically approved.
  • Personalized Care: Your exam allows us to tailor services to your unique needs.
  • Compliance & Safety: We ensure the highest standards of care.
  • Professional Credibility: Not all spas require this step.
    At Artistry Aesthetics, we go above and beyond to protect our clients. 

The Artistry Aesthetics Difference

Requiring a Good Faith Exam is not about adding an extra step — it’s about doing things the right way. It reflects our commitment to being a safe, clean, and compliant med spa where clients can trust they are in professional hands.

We are proud to offer services that are not only effective and rejuvenating but also responsible and ethical.

Consultation vs. Good Faith Exam

It is important to distinguish between a complimentary cosmetic consultation and a medical good faith exam, which may be separate appointments and costs.
  • Cosmetic consultation: Artistry Aesthetics offers a “complementary consultation” to discuss services in general.
  • Medical good faith exam: The GFE is a more in-depth medical process for specific treatments that carries a separate charge of $39.
