There are multiple individual factors that need to be assessed to determine a customised skin care regime of products and non-surgical cosmetic treatments. These factors also determine your suitability and safety for medical strength skin care products and medical procedures. It is important to have a face-to-face comprehensive assessment including a discussion about your motivations for treatment. This is a necessary process to develop the most effective, customised plan for best possible results.

It is not possible to give exactly the same treatments and doses to different people and expect to get exactly the same results.

Your personal assessment includes:

• Your age
• Your gender
• Your ethnicity
• Your spiritual / dietary beliefs (may exclude some treatments/products)
• Your motivations for treatment - including a psychology screening questionnaire
• Your expectations of results
• The cause of imperfections
• Facial / body area of concern
• Facial volume - including natural fat pads and bone structure
• Facial symmetry
• Lip symmetry, volume and border definition
• Skin tone and condition
• Number of lines
• Depth of lines
• Muscle mass
• Strength of muscle movement
• Activity level
• Metabolism
• Underlying and current medical conditions - including hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
• Surgical history 
• Dental issues
• Presence and density of scar tissue - including acne scars and stretchmarks
• Presence of thread veins (spider veins)
• Presence of facial implants 
• Medications
• Supplements
• Nutrition
• Details of previous cosmetic procedures.

These factors also determine the preparation needed, the medical strength of skin care products required, the rheology of products such as molecule sizes, projection or spread, customized volume/amount/dosage, the most suitable process for collagen stimulation, and the number/frequency of treatments that will help you achieve the best possible results for your concerns. 

With this in mind, please understand that giving an accurate quote is only possible with a consultation in clinic. And ultimately, to optimise your safety with any treatment option.
