A doctor-delivered skin consultation and evidence-based plan

Healthy skin does not always need more products. Sometimes it needs the right treatment.

Medical skincare uses ingredients that are selected specifically for your skin and your concerns. Unlike over-the-counter products, these treatments follow a medical assessment and can be tailored to your individual needs.

Think of it like having a suit made for you instead of buying one off the rack. Both are designed to be worn, but one has been made to fit you.

Your plan may contain one or several carefully selected ingredients to address concerns such as acne, pigmentation, sun damage or signs of ageing. Because every person's skin is different, no two plans are necessarily the same.

Medical skincare may be appropriate for concerns such as acne, pigmentation and uneven skin tone, sun-damaged skin, fine lines, rough skin texture, rosacea, excess oil production and overall skin health.

During your consultation, we will assess your skin and discuss which treatments are most appropriate for your concerns.

Your appointment begins with a detailed consultation and skin assessment.

We will discuss your skin concerns, your current skincare routine, your medical history and your goals. If medical skincare is appropriate, your doctor will develop a personalised treatment plan. This may include one product or a combination of treatments designed to work together.

We will also explain how to introduce the products gradually, what improvements to expect and how to minimise irritation while your skin adjusts.

Medical skincare is not a single treatment. It is an ongoing part of looking after your skin.

As your skin changes over time, your plan may also need to change.

Some ingredients are introduced gradually, while others are adjusted as your skin improves or your goals change. Regular reviews allow your treatment plan to be personalised as your skin responds.

Medical skincare works gradually.

Some concerns, such as acne, may begin improving within several weeks, while pigmentation, texture and signs of ageing often take longer.

Healthy skin changes slowly, so consistent use is one of the most important parts of achieving good results. Your doctor will discuss realistic timeframes based on your individual treatment plan.

Many ingredients continue working while you use them.

If treatment is stopped, some skin concerns may gradually return over time.

Your skincare plan will be reviewed regularly and adjusted as your skin changes, helping you maintain healthy skin over the long term.

Most medical skincare allows you to continue your normal daily activities.

Some products can cause temporary dryness, peeling or mild irritation, particularly when they are first introduced. This is often part of the skin adjusting to treatment.

Your doctor will provide instructions on how to introduce your products gradually to help minimise these effects.

Like all medical treatments, medical skincare can have side effects.

Depending on the ingredients used, these may include dryness, redness, peeling, increased sensitivity or irritation.

Some ingredients are not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, while others require additional sun protection.

Before recommending treatment, your doctor will discuss the benefits, potential risks and any precautions that apply to your individual situation.

The cost depends on the ingredients recommended and whether your treatment is compounded specifically for your skin.

Following your consultation, you will receive a personalised treatment plan and an outline of the expected costs before deciding whether to proceed.

There is very little preparation required.

If possible, bring details or photographs of the skincare products you are currently using.

Knowing what has and has not worked in the past helps us develop a treatment plan that is appropriate for your skin.

Yes.

Medical skincare often forms the foundation of a long-term skin health plan.

Depending on your concerns, it may be combined with treatments that improve hydration, refresh the skin surface or support overall skin quality.

Using the right skincare before and after in-clinic treatments can also help prepare the skin and support the healing process.
