Treatment prices may vary depending on the treatment area, treatment complexity, individual requirements and agreed treatment plan.
Prices may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be communicated before booking or purchasing the affected service.
Where a treatment course or package has been purchased, the agreed price will apply subject to the specific terms of that purchase.
8. TREATMENT OUTCOMES AND EXPECTATIONS
Individual results vary between patients.
The Clinic does not guarantee:
-
Specific cosmetic outcomes
-
Complete resolution of pigmentation, acne scarring, redness or other skin concerns
-
A particular degree of skin improvement
-
The longevity of results
-
That results will meet individual subjective expectations
Results depend on factors including skin type, skin condition, age, genetics, lifestyle, sun exposure, skincare routine and adherence to aftercare instructions.
Some treatments require multiple sessions to achieve optimal improvement.
Chemical peels, microneedling, BBL HEROic and MOXI treatments may produce gradual results, with improvement developing over several weeks or months.
Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain results.
Fees are charged for the professional services and treatments provided, rather than for guaranteed cosmetic outcomes.
Nothing in this section affects your statutory consumer rights.

10. SUN EXPOSURE AND TANNING

You must disclose any recent:

Failure to follow sun protection advice may increase the risk of pigmentation changes, burns or other complications and may compromise treatment outcomes.

Depending on the treatment, these may include:

For severe symptoms or urgent medical concerns, you should seek appropriate immediate medical attention.
12. TREATMENT COURSES AND PACKAGES

Where services are not provided with reasonable care and skill, or where another statutory remedy applies, the Clinic will assess the circumstances and provide an appropriate remedy in accordance with the law.
