Consultations for Skin Appearance

Q: Sounds great. Where do I start?

Before undergoing a treatment, you must register at our Shellharbour clinic for an initial consultation with our qualified clinical team. During your consultation, you will discuss your lifestyle and health, including medical history, allergies, and any medications or supplements you may be taking. It is important to mention any allergic reactions to drugs or skin care products you may have experienced in the past and any other recent beauty treatments you’ve had. These factors affect how your body responds and how the treatment recovers. If you have any concerns, a consultation is when you ask questions about your treatment. Your clinician will ask about your current problems and reasons for wanting a cosmetic procedure and evaluate the treatment area. You should discuss what you hope to achieve with the treatment and your aesthetic goals. All the information you provide during the consultation is essential to developing a customised treatment plan that considers your health, concerns and expected outcomes to achieve the best possible result.

Rejuran^™ is a product containing polynucleotides, now available in Australia for use in aesthetic consultations. It represents a different approach within skin quality consultations. Although new to the Australian aesthetic industry, the product has been used extensively overseas since 2015.

A consultation provides an opportunity to explore how this product works to support the skin’s natural processes. Instead of focusing solely on adding volume, this approach is centred on discussing options that may support the underlying structure of the skin. During your consultation, we can explore how polynucleotides differ from other options, such as those discussed in Facial Volume Consultations, and determine if this approach aligns with your personal aesthetic goals and skin concerns.
