In the lead-up to important events such as an engagement party, bridal shower or wedding, some people choose to discuss cosmetic skin care planning.
Our clinic can provide consultations for aesthetic treatments. During consultation, a practitioner will review your medical history, assess your skin and discuss options that may be appropriate for you.
If appropriate, a structured timeline may be discussed to plan cosmetic skin care approaches over several weeks or months before an event.
Any change in appearance varies between individuals and cannot be guaranteed.

What May Be Discussed in Consultation
For appropriate candidates, consultation may address the appearance of:
skin tone variations
surface texture
skin sensitivity or redness
Any change in appearance varies between individuals and cannot be guaranteed.
Our approach
After consultation and assessment, your practitioner may discuss options such as:
timeline planning for appointments over several weeks or months, with appropriate spacing before key dates
non-surgical options, for example LED phototherapy, light-based treatments, hydrating facials or skincare guidance where clinically appropriate
patch testing or gradual introduction of new products or procedures for individuals with sensitive or reactive skin
Plans are tailored to your skin characteristics, medical history, schedule and treatment goals.
In some cases, your practitioner may recommend delaying or not performing certain procedures close to an event date.
Safety, Risks and Aftercare

Risks for non-surgical cosmetic procedures will be discussed in detail during consultation but may include, depending on the procedure:
redness, swelling or bruising at the treatment site
tenderness or temporary discomfort
changes in skin colour or pigmentation
infection or delayed healing
uneven or unexpected aesthetic outcomes
Less common but more serious complications may occur.
Your practitioner will explain the specific risks relevant to the procedure being considered, as well as expected recovery considerations and aftercare requirements.
Written aftercare instructions will be provided if treatment is performed.
