Do I need to know which treatment I want before I book?
No., not at all. Most people arrive at their first consultation without a clear idea of which treatment is right for them – and that’s a completely reasonable starting point. Your practitioner will take the time to understand your concerns, walk you through the options that may be relevant, and help you make an informed decision at your own pace. Your consultation is designed for exactly this.
How long does a cosmetic aesthetics consult take?
Allow 30-45 minutes for photography, 3D and Visia imaging (if appropriate), assessment and planning. Longer or follow-up consultations can be arranged if you prefer more time to explore options.
Can I bring inspiration photos?
Yes, please do. They help us understand you, your goals and your taste. We will use your 3D images to discuss what is realistic for your features and how close we can get within safe, sensible parameters.
Will I get same-day treatment?
Sometimes. If a treatment is straightforward and clinically indicated and your treating practitioner deems suitable for you, we may offer to begin on the day. Equally, some plans are best staged after you have reviewed your options at home and require pre-treatment preparation. Learn more in this video.
Is the consultation free?
Your consultation is complimentary. A $75 deposit is required to secure your booking – this is credited in full to your treatment if you proceed, or refunded in full if you decide not to. Find out more about how deposits work.
How much does cosmetic treatment cost?
Your practitioner will advise the expected cost of your treatment in your initial consult. As a guide, general pricing information can be found here.
What about recovery and downtime?
Most treatments have some downtime period when your skin recovers. It depends on your treatment pathway. Your practitioner will outline expected recovery, aftercare and when you can return to work, exercise and events.
Is this suitable if I am new to aesthetics?
Most likely, yes. A consultation is the best place to start. We move at your pace, focus on education and build confidence through a step-by-step plan. Watch more in this video.
What happens at review visits?
A review is a short clinical check-in to confirm healing and keep your plan on track. It may include:
- Health update – together we note any changes since your last visit
- Standardised photos – same lighting and angles for accurate comparisons
- 3D facial imaging (if needed) – review progress against your baseline
- Recovery check – comfort, side effects and aftercare
- Plan refine – adjust timing, next steps and skincare as required
Your treating practitioner may suggest a review, typically scheduled 2–6 weeks after treatments, with timing tailored to your unique circumstances.
Can I choose my practitioner or doctor?
Yes, you can choose your treating practitioner. We have a large team of experienced cosmetic practitioners working across our eight clinics, each with a unique blend of expertise, specialties and backgrounds.
