Do and avoid

When to call us

Your first consult is free, takes about 30 minutes and comes with no pressure to book. A little preparation helps us give you a clear, honest plan.

Before you come in

Arrive with clean skin if you can, or allow a few minutes for us to remove makeup. Avoid self tan and strong sun for a week before, so we see your natural skin tone.

There are no silly questions. Ask about cost, comfort and downtime.

What to bring

  • A list of medications and supplements

  • Products you use morning and night

  • Photos of your skin on a good and a bad day

You leave with a written plan, clear prices and timing, and you decide in your own time.

What happens at the consult

A clinician looks at your skin under magnification and polarised light, talks through your goals and explains which treatments suit you, and which do not. You leave with a written plan, clear prices and timing, and you decide in your own time.

Do

  • Cool compress for 10 minutes

  • Gentle cleanser, simple moisturiser

  • Mineral SPF every morning

Avoid

  • Hot showers, saunas and steam

  • Scrubs, acids and retinoids

  • Picking at any flaking skin
