Nurse-led complimentary cosmetic assessment
How does it work?
A complimentary, cosmetic-focused appointment with one of our nurses for people who want clarity before committing to a dermatologist consult.
The appointment follows a simple framework across five key domains:
Pigment
Uneven tone, sun spots, freckles, and lingering marks after acne or inflammation
Redness
Flushing, persistent redness, visible vessels, and sensitivity
Texture
Roughness, congestion, enlarged pores, and early fine lines
Volume & shape
How facial structure and soft tissue change over time and how that affects overall balance
Skin quality
Hydration, barrier health, brightness, and overall skin resilience
What’s the focus?
The focus is a longer-term plan — usually mapped over the next 6–12 months — so care feels intentional rather than reactive. That means working out what to do first, what to add later, what to avoid, and how to time things around seasons, events, downtime, and budget.
Skincare routines can be reviewed to pick up common irritants, missed basics, and quick wins. If it’s relevant to your goals, the nurse can also talk through the types of laser and light treatments we offer and how they’re commonly used for pigment, redness, and texture. Cosmetic injectables can be discussed in the same way — as part of an overall plan, not a one-size-fits-all answer.
Some concerns do need a dermatologist appointment. If that’s the case, the nurse will explain why and help you book into the right pathway.
