The Online Assessment is the first formal step in the clinical pathway. It collects the information practitioner review needs before any invitation to continue.

What this stage is for

We learn your goals, skin or scalp history, healing context, and which Signature Pathway you are exploring: Healthy Aging, Acne & Scar Revision, or Hair Restoration.

What assessment does

Gathers history and goals for clinical review
Helps place you in the right Signature Pathway conversation
Opens the door to practitioner review when the form is complete

How it connects to the protocol

After submission comes practitioner review, then — if invited — Phase 1 payment, Initial Consultation, eligibility, and Phases 1–5. Education can start on the microneedling page; care starts only when gates open.
