Cosmetic Consultations
A consultation is necessary to determine your cosmetic motivations, to assess your health status, and to ensure your safety and suitability for non-surgical cosmetic products/treatments.
When booking a consultation, Suppelle® requires your full name and contact number. An automated computer reminder will be sent the day before your appointment.
Psychology
The appointment reminder will include a link for you to complete a validated psychology assessment. A psychology assessment is a mandatory requirement for all cosmetic consultations prior to treatment, set by the Australian Health Practitioner Registration Agency (AHPRA).
If you do not pass the psychology assessment, you will be contacted to discuss the context of your results. You may need to see your General Practitioner (GP) for further assessment and/or psychologist referral to discuss your cosmetic pursuit.
If you pass this assessment, you are able to attend your consultation.
The Consultation Process
In order to meet regulatory requirements, a cosmetic consultation at Suppelle® will take approx 45-60 minutes and includes:
- creating a medical file (Please bring your ID to verify your name and date of birth, medicare card, private health/concession cards, and next of kin or emergency contact details)
