Medical Aesthetic Consultations
Nurse-led treatments at Enhance begin with a nurse-led treatment consultation. You’ll meet one of our registered nurses, Petta or Candice, at our Largs Bay or Norwood clinic.
Starting with a consultation means recommendations are based on your concerns, skin type and medical history. Two people with the same concern can need quite different approaches, and the right starting point for you may not always be the one you expected.
Your nurse will take the time to understand your goals before discussing options. You’ll be able to ask questions openly and get honest advice about what may be achievable for you, including when the best option is to wait or do nothing at all.
Getting to know you. Your nurse will ask about your concerns, your health history and any treatments you’ve had before. This helps make sure any option discussed is safe and suitable for you.
Assessment. They’ll carry out an assessment and talk you through what they see, in plain language.
Your options. They’ll explain the options that may be suitable, including what’s involved, possible risks, recovery time and costs. This includes the option of not having treatment.
Time to decide. You’ll leave with clear information and space to think it over. If you decide to go ahead, your nurse will talk you through aftercare and any follow-up appointments.
T&Cs apply when booking any treatment or consultation.
Australian health advertising rules, set by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), limit how some treatments can be named or described online, so not every option we offer is listed on our website. These rules are there to protect patients. In a consultation, your nurse can explain every option that may suit you, with information specific to your skin and your health.
Why Some Treatments Aren’t Listed
-
Prescription-only medicines can’t be advertised to the public in Australia. This rule comes from the TGA, so clinics can’t name or promote these medicines on websites or social media.
AHPRA requires advertising by health practitioners to be accurate and not misleading, and not to create unreasonable expectations of results. It also restricts testimonials about clinical treatment and discounts on cosmetic procedures.
Together, these rules help make sure decisions about treatment are made in a consultation with a registered practitioner, based on your individual needs and risks.
-
The TGA treats publishing the price of a prescription-only medicine as advertising that medicine, which isn’t allowed in Australia. Cost can also depend on what’s right for you. Your nurse will give you a clear cost for any option before you decide, so there are no surprises.
-
Medical Consultation only. A dedicated 20-minute appointment to talk through your concerns and options, with time to think it over before booking any treatment.
Medical Consultation with treatment. A 40-minute appointment for clients who’d like the option of going ahead on the day. If you and your nurse agree a treatment is suitable, it can be carried out in the same appointment. If not, you’ll still have had your full consultation and can decide later.
-
A list of any medications or supplements you take, details of any previous cosmetic treatments, and any questions you’d like answered. If you have photos showing a concern that changes over time, those can help too.
-
That’s completely fine. Tell your nurse what you’ve noticed or what’s bothering you, and they’ll help you understand what may be contributing and which options may be worth considering.
-
No. The consultation is there to help you make an informed decision, and you’re welcome to take time to think it over before booking any treatment.
