Skin Treatment
A clinical discussion of your individual options.
A consultation is the most important first step for anyone considering their options for the face. It is a clinical discussion, not a commitment to a procedure.
During the consultation, we assess your individual circumstances and discuss what may or may not be appropriate for you. If a procedure is not the right answer, we will say so. Not every consultation leads to a recommendation to proceed.
What it is.
A cosmetic consultation is a clinical discussion to understand your individual concerns and assess your individual circumstances. We take time to review your medical history, discuss your questions and provide information about options that may be relevant.
The consultation is conducted by Carolann O’Donnell (NMW0000000000), Registered Nurse Practitioner, conducting a clinical assessment of your individual circumstances.
Any procedure proceeds only after you understand the process, realistic considerations, and any risks, with your informed consent.
This service is available to individuals 18 years or older.

Common questions.
How do you approach the consultation?
The consultation is a clinical discussion of your individual concerns and circumstances. We assess your individual situation and discuss any information that may be relevant. Individual outcomes vary and are discussed at your consultation.
How do you decide what is right for me?
Through clinical assessment and open conversation. If a procedure is not the right answer for your individual circumstances, we will say so. Not every consultation leads to a recommendation to proceed.
Is there downtime?
Temporary swelling, tenderness or bruising at the treated area is possible. We will explain what to expect and provide aftercare guidance so you can plan accordingly.
Are there risks?
As with any cosmetic procedure, there are risks. We discuss the specific risks relevant to you during your consultation so your decision is fully informed.
How long before I see the result?
This varies between individuals. We will give you a realistic idea during your consultation rather than a fixed promise.
Cosmetic treatments carry risks and are not suitable for everyone. Individual results vary. A consultation is required before any treatment, where suitability, realistic outcomes and risks are discussed.
