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.

being treated and the specific procedures involved.
