About this treatment
Overview
A skin consultation is a dedicated clinical appointment focused entirely on assessing your skin health, concerns, and goals. It is the starting point recommended before any treatment, and is offered as a standalone appointment for those who wish to understand their skin and explore options without commitment.
The consultation involves a detailed assessment of your skin type, texture, tone, and any specific concerns you have noticed. You will have the opportunity to discuss your skincare history, lifestyle factors, and what outcomes you are hoping for.
Following the assessment, a personalised treatment plan is developed and explained. There is no obligation to proceed with any treatment. The appointment is an opportunity for an honest, clinical conversation — nothing more.
