Failure to provide us with more than 48hours notice for an appointment change will result in a $50 cancellation fee being charged.

Each client is assessed individually for all treatments offered. We encourage all new clients to book a complimentary consultation so that we can customise a treatment plan for you.

What if I have a medical condition?

Please advise us of any health conditions or medications you may be taking as your treatment may not be able to be performed. Please inform your Clinician if you are pregnant as some of our treatments and products may not be safe.

Side effects & Risks of Cosmetic Treatments

It is soon to be an AHPRA requirement that risks & side effects to the non-surgical cosmetic procedures are easily accessible, to support this decision and make it easy for our clients to make an informed decision we have decided to list these directly on our website.

Please book in for a complimentary consultation to discuss these risks and their relevance to you and your treatment area.

For the purpose of this information ‘side-effect’ determines a transient (temporary) somewhat unwanted effect of the treatment; however can often be an expected outcome of treatment (eg. flaking with a peel). ‘Risk’ is a serious unforeseen outcome of the treatment that may have long lasting effects/consequences.
