Frequently asked questions
Short answers here. The full FAQ page has more, and your practitioner can go through anything else.
What is a skin consultation for?
A skin consultation is for everyday concerns like breakouts, redness, dryness or sensitive skin. Your practitioner asks about your skin, your history and your routine before suggesting anything. Your options may be advice, more tests, a referral or no treatment.
Can my skin be assessed by telehealth?
Many everyday skin concerns can be talked through in a live telehealth consultation. Some need to be seen in person. If yours does, your practitioner tells you and helps you find the right place, such as your GP or a local skin clinic.
Will I need treatment?
Not necessarily. Your practitioner discusses treatment only where clinically appropriate. Your options might be advice on your routine, sun protection or sleep, more tests, a referral or no treatment. You can take time to decide.
Do you do mole or skin cancer checks?
Mole and skin cancer checks need an in-person examination, so they aren't part of a telehealth skin consultation. Cancer Council Australia advises seeing your GP if a mole looks different, or if a new one appears after the age of 25.
Are blood tests needed for skin concerns?
Only if your practitioner thinks blood tests would help. They explain why before ordering any, and talk you through the results.
What does a skin consultation cost?
You'll see the consultation fee before you book. Fees are private. If treatment is recommended, your practitioner explains the costs before anything starts.
