Before your appointment
4 questions
Do I need a consultation first?
For facials, LED and the Peony rituals, no. Needling, laser, IPL and Coolshaping2 all begin with a consultation so we can check suitability and patch test where required.
Can I book if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
Many treatments are fine, several are not. Tell us when you book and your practitioner will confirm what is appropriate before your appointment.
I am on Roaccutane. Can I still come in?
Not for needling, peels, laser or IPL. Most protocols ask for six months clear. Facials and LED are usually still available, confirmed case by case.
How far ahead should I book before an event?
Two days for a hydro facial, two weeks for a peel, four to six weeks for needling. Never try something new in the fortnight before a wedding.
On the day
3 questions
How long will I actually be here?
The treatment time on the menu plus about ten minutes. First appointments run fifteen minutes longer for a skin history.
Does it hurt?
Facials and LED are relaxing. Peels tingle. Needling and RF use numbing cream applied thirty minutes beforehand. IPL feels like a rubber band flick.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes. There is seating in reception, though treatment rooms are one client at a time.
Afterwards
3 questions
Can I wear makeup after?
After a facial, LED or hydro facial, straight away. After needling, peels or IPL, leave it for 24 to 48 hours and use the post-treatment products you are given.
When will I see a difference?
Hydration and glow are same day. Pigment clears over one to two weeks. Collagen change from needling and RF shows from week four and keeps building to week twelve.
What if my skin reacts?
Call the clinic. Reactions are uncommon and almost always settle, but we would rather look at it than have you wait it out at home.
Paying and changing bookings
4 questions
How do deposits work?
A $50 deposit secures advanced treatments and comes straight off the treatment price on the day.
What happens if I need to move my appointment?
Give at least 24 hours notice and the deposit carries over. Inside that window a $30 fee applies, or the deposit is held.
Do packages expire?
Packages, prepaid plans and vouchers stay valid for 12 months from purchase, and are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Do you offer payment plans?
Courses can be paid up front for the package rate, or per session at the single-session rate. There is no interest-free finance at the clinic.
Still not answered?
Ring the clinic and ask. Reception can put you through to a practitioner if the question needs one.
