With so many skincare products and in-clinic treatments available, it can be difficult to know which options may be appropriate for your skin.

At Facial Harmony Skin & Dental, our approach begins with individual assessment. Rather than assuming that one routine or treatment will suit everyone, we consider your skin characteristics, concerns, treatment history and goals before discussing available options.

Understanding Your Skin

Skin can vary considerably between individuals and may also change over time.

Factors such as hydration, skin barrier function, oil production, sun exposure, lifestyle, skincare products and previous treatments can all influence the way skin looks and feels.

A skin consultation can help identify your individual concerns and provide an opportunity to discuss skincare and treatment options that may be appropriate for you.

Where a concern may require medical diagnosis or management outside our practitioners’ scope of practice, referral to an appropriate healthcare professional may be recommended.

An Individualised Approach to Skincare

At Facial Harmony Skin & Dental, skin services are provided by Registered Nurses within their professional scope of practice.

Recommendations are based on individual assessment rather than a standard treatment plan.

Depending on your circumstances, your skin plan may include:

Home Skincare

A consistent skincare routine can support the skin barrier and general skin care

Products may be selected according to your skin characteristics, current routine, sensitivities and individual concerns.

Professional Skin Treatments

Depending on individual suitability, in-clinic treatments may be considered for concerns relating to the appearance of skin texture, hydration, visible pores, pigmentation, fine lines, scarring or skin firmness.

Different procedures have different potential benefits, limitations, risks and recovery requirements. Not every treatment is appropriate for every person.

Where a higher-risk cosmetic procedure is being considered, information about relevant risks, recovery and suitability is available on the individual treatment page and will also be discussed before treatment.

Ongoing Skin Care

Skin needs can change over time. Rather than assuming that ongoing treatment is required, recommendations are reviewed according to your skin, response, goals and individual circumstances.

In some cases, home skincare, monitoring, referral to another healthcare professional or no treatment may be the most appropriate approach.

Understanding Treatment Options

Facial Harmony Skin & Dental offers a range of skin services, which may include skin analysis and consultation, chemical peels, microneedling, radiofrequency microneedling, focused ultrasound treatments and other skin treatments.

Suitability varies between individuals and procedures.

Before proceeding with treatment, you will have an opportunity to discuss:

* your individual concerns and goals
* whether treatment may be appropriate for you
* expected and realistic outcomes
* treatment limitations
* potential risks and side effects
* recovery and aftercare
* alternative options
* treatment costs

Individual outcomes and recovery vary, and no particular cosmetic result can be guaranteed.

Making Informed Skincare Decisions

Our aim is to provide clear information so you can make informed decisions about your skin care.

A consultation does not mean that treatment is required. If you are considering professional skin treatment, your Registered Nurse can assess your individual circumstances and discuss suitable options, including the option of no treatment.
