The Process
Step 1: Initial Consult
Upon arrival at our Southbank clinic, you will be asked to complete a form with your personal and medical information to ensure your treatment is both safe and effective. A detailed consultation will then take place, during which we’ll discuss your concerns, goals, and expectations to develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
We will also review any potential risks or complications associated with the procedure. If you decide to proceed, treatment can often be performed during the same appointment. However, if you prefer more time to consider your options, you’re welcome to rebook at a later date.
Step 2: Treatment
Typically, the procedure takes around 15–30 minutes. However, the duration may vary depending on the number of areas being treated and the specific procedures involved.
Common side effects include
- Bruising

Frequently Asked Questions
Many patients notice improvement after 1–2 sessions, though a short series may be recommended for more persistent concerns like rosacea or spider veins.
