Consultations & Fees
-
The first step is understanding your skin.
During your consultation, I assess your skin condition using differential assessment techniques and review the factors that may be influencing your symptoms.
This may include:
Your current skin presentation
Location and severity of symptoms
Duration of your condition
Previous diagnoses
Previous treatments and responses
Medical history
Medications
Family history
Diet and nutrition
Digestive health
Lifestyle factors
Pathology results (where available)
This comprehensive assessment helps build a clearer picture of your individual skin health.
-
Chronic skin conditions are often influenced by multiple factors.
My approach focuses on identifying both:
Primary triggers
Factors that may have contributed to the development of your skin condition.
Secondary triggers
Factors that may continue to aggravate or worsen your symptoms.
These may include:
Dietary factors
Gut health
Stress and lifestyle factors
Environmental influences
Skin care products
Nutritional deficiencies
Immune-related factors
Other individual health considerations
Understanding your potential triggers allows your treatment plan to be personalised to your circumstances.
-
Following your assessment, I develop an individualised treatment plan designed specifically for your skin presentation.
Your plan may include:
Nutritional recommendations
Dietary guidance
Lifestyle strategies
Gut health support
Supplement recommendations where appropriate
Proprietary natural medicines
Bespoke topical applications designed for your skin presentation
Pathology recommendations where clinically appropriate
Because every person presents differently, treatment plans can vary considerably, even between people with the same skin diagnosis.
-
Managing a chronic skin condition is usually a process rather than a single appointment.
As your symptoms improve, your treatment plan may be adjusted to support each stage of your progress.
The goal is to help you:
Understand your skin condition
Reduce factors contributing to flare-ups
Improve skin health
Develop sustainable long-term management strategies
Where appropriate, a maintenance plan can be developed to help support ongoing skin health.

Every person's response is different and depends on factors including:
How long you have had your condition
Severity of symptoms
Areas affected
Previous treatments
Overall health
Lifestyle factors
Consistency with your treatment plan
Many patients begin noticing changes within the first few weeks; however, more chronic or complex conditions may require additional time and ongoing support.
