We know that changes in skin tone and texture are a natural part of life. We also understand that some people may wish to discuss options that address the appearance of skin that looks less bright or even.
Our clinic can provide consultations about skin tone and texture concerns. During consultation, a practitioner will assess your concerns, review your medical history and discuss cosmetic options that may be appropriate within the clinic’s scope of practice.
Any change in appearance, and how noticeable it is, varies between individuals and cannot be guaranteed.
Lacklustre / Dull Skin
What may be discussed in consultation
For suitable individuals, consultation may address concerns relating to:
the appearance of skin tone variations
the appearance of surface texture
the appearance of skin that looks less even
the appearance of skin that looks less bright
These concerns are assessed during consultation to determine whether any cosmetic procedures or skincare changes may be appropriate.
How treatment planning works
After reviewing your medical history and assessing the skin, your practitioner may discuss cosmetic options that could be considered.
Examples of options that may be discussed include:
surface-resurfacing or exfoliation procedures selected according to skin type and tolerance
hydrating facials used as part of a cosmetic skin care plan
LED phototherapy where appropriate
home-care guidance, including skincare products selected for your skin and tolerance
Treatment plans are determined according to:
skin type
sensitivity and tolerance
current skincare routine
any existing advice from your GP or dermatologist
If there are signs of an underlying condition, your practitioner may recommend medical assessment before, or instead of, cosmetic treatment.
In some cases, your practitioner may recommend an alternative approach or no procedure.
Safety, Risks and Aftercare
All cosmetic procedures carry risks and may not be suitable for everyone.
Before any procedure is performed, your practitioner will:
review your medical history, medications and relevant health information
examine the treatment area
explain the proposed procedure, limitations and alternatives, including choosing not to proceed
discuss possible risks and side effects, including less common but more serious complications
Risks associated with procedures may include:
redness or swelling
dryness or peeling
skin sensitivity or irritation
pigmentation changes
infection or delayed healing
temporary muscle weakness
uneven or unexpected aesthetic outcomes
Pain and comfort levels vary between individuals and depend on the procedure used. Some procedures may cause sensations such as warmth, tingling, tightness, discomfort or pressure during or after treatment.
Written aftercare instructions will be provided if treatment is performed.
