Booking an aesthetic consultation is the first step toward understanding your facial ageing changes and exploring options for subtle, natural-looking improvements. During a consultation, a Registered Nurse will assess your facial structure, skin quality, and individual concerns, guiding you through evidence-based recommendations tailored to your goals.

What Happens During a Consultation

Aesthetic consultations should be thorough, personalised, and educational. Typical steps may include:

• Medical history review: Understanding your health background ensures treatments are safe and appropriate.
• Facial assessment: The nurse evaluates areas such as volume loss, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin hydration.
• Discussion of options: Individual facial anatomy and your aesthetic goals will determine what treatment options are suitable for you. The nurse should take an evidence-based approach to proposed treatments.
• Use of ultrasound (if needed): Ultrasound can visualise underlying facial structures, improving accuracy and safety for treatment planning.
• Patient questions: You will be asked if you have any questions regarding procedures, risks, recovery, or expected outcomes.
