What Happens at a Cosmetic Consultation?

Consultations follow a set order. Your registered nurse begins with paperwork and a private conversation about your health history and current medications, moves into a hands-on assessment of the area you're concerned about, then talks you through what's realistic for your specific skin or concern.

Only once that groundwork is done does the conversation turn to whether treatment is appropriate.

How Long Does a Cosmetic Consultation Take?

The length of a cosmetic consultation depends on how complex your concerns are and how many treatment options are worth discussing. Complimentary consultations at BASE Aesthetics are structured with this in mind, so there's no set time limit pushing the conversation along. If you'd prefer to ask a few questions before committing to an in-person visit, call the clinic directly and the team can talk you through what to expect.

Will I Get Treatment Pricing at My Consultation?

Yes, pricing is discussed directly during your consultation, but it cannot be advertised publicly beforehand. This reflects Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) rules restricting the advertising of prescription-only cosmetic substances, not a lack of transparency from the clinic.

Can I Be Treated on the Same Day as My Consultation?

Often, yes. If your registered nurse determines a treatment is clinically appropriate, it may be carried out on the same day, once risks, expected recovery and informed consent have been discussed in full.

Is There a Minimum Age for Cosmetic Consultations?

BASE Aesthetics does not offer cosmetic treatments to patients under 21 years of age, regardless of the concern being discussed.

What Should I Bring to My First Consultation?

Bring a list of current medications and any known allergies, notes on previous cosmetic or skin treatments, and a clear idea of the concerns you'd like to discuss. This helps your registered nurse build an accurate picture from the start.

Is the Consultation Itself a Sales Pitch?

No. A properly run consultation is a clinical assessment, not a sales appointment. Treatment is only recommended where there's a genuine clinical basis for it, and you're never expected to commit to anything on the day.
