How to start your skin journey at Skin Institute?

If it is the first time you are seeing us for appearance medicine treatments, or it has been more than 12 months since your last visit, you are required to book a cosmetic consultation with our Advanced Skin Therapist, Appearance Medicine Nurses or Doctors. See more about cosmetic consultations here.

Our Appearance Medicine team will guide you through a comprehensive 30 to 45-minute cosmetic consultation, to understand your individual needs and desires.

Sometimes only one type of treatment may be recommended, or we may suggest a combination of treatments to achieve the skin improvement you are looking for. Either way, you will know that the advice we offer you is customised just for your needs.

* The consultation fee with an Advanced Skin Therapist or Nurse is redeemable off your first treatment or used towards any product purchase in clinic.
