Yes, appointments are required for most of our services. This ensures that you receive personalised care and minimises waiting times. You can schedule an appointment through our website, by phone, or by visiting the clinic.

02

Costs and cover

An initial consultation is $49, which is deducted from your first clinical treatment. The credit stays on your file for one month and expires if it is not used on a clinical treatment.

Laser and facial treatments, including cosmetic and non-medically necessary procedures, are generally not eligible for a Medicare rebate. Medicare primarily covers medical services deemed essential for the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of a specific medical condition. Cosmetic and aesthetic procedures are typically considered elective, and are therefore not covered.

Before and after

Specific instructions are provided when you schedule your appointment or procedure. Generally it is advisable to arrive with clean skin and, if necessary, to avoid wearing makeup or skincare products. Strict avoidance of excessive sun exposure is also advised one to two weeks before treatment.

Post-procedure instructions are provided by your dermal clinician or therapist. They vary by procedure, but typically include guidance on skincare, sun protection, and any follow-up appointments.

Downtime depends on the treatment. Most involve minimal or no downtime, with mild redness lasting a couple of hours. Ablative lasers may involve a longer recovery of roughly three to ten days. Your dermal clinician will go through the options with you so you can make an informed decision.
