Ageing skin consultations · TRSA Clinic, Stanthorpe
Lines, volume and skin quality, assessed properly.
A 30-minute face-to-face consultation with me, a Nurse Practitioner with 30+ years in clinical medicine. I’ll look at what’s changing and why, explain every option honestly, including risks and costs, and tell you if you don’t need anything at all.

Available in clinicYour first visit
What happens at your consultation.
Thirty minutes, one-to-one with me. You’ll leave knowing exactly where your skin is at, and what, if anything, will help.
I listen first
Tell me what’s bothering you, what you’ve tried and how you’d like to look. I’ll also ask about your health history, because it matters.
I assess your face
I look at how your face moves, where volume has changed and the quality of your skin, so we focus on the cause, not just the crease.
Your options, explained
Every option that suits you, including ones without needles, with the likely benefits, risks, costs and how long each lasts.
You decide
If you’re suitable and ready, treatment can happen on the day and your $100 is credited. Or go home and think it over. No pressure either way.
What I assess
Concerns we can talk through.
These are concerns, not treatments. The right approach depends on your face, your health and your goals, and sometimes the answer is simply better skincare.
Expression lines
Lines that show when you frown, squint or raise your brows, and ones that have started to stay when your face is at rest.
Volume and contour
Hollowing under the eyes, flattening through the cheeks, or a softer jawline as facial structure changes with age.
Skin quality
Crepiness, dullness, fine lines and a loss of bounce, often the first signs that skin is thinning and drying out.
Early laxity
Skin that’s starting to soften or loosen along the jaw, neck and lower face.
Who you’ll see
Assessed and treated by me.
I’m a Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Nursing Science and a PhD from QUT, and more than 30 years in clinical medicine. I see every client myself, from the first consultation to every follow-up. I’ll tell you honestly what will and won’t help, and I’d rather send you home with a better skincare routine than treat something that doesn’t need it.
“If you don’t need it, I’ll tell you.”
Other options
Sometimes the right answer is gentler.
If your consultation shows a facial or skin technology would suit you better, I’ll tell you. For many people, this is the best place to start.
Before you book
Good questions, straight answers.
Everything people usually ask before their first consultation.
Still unsure? Ask me →How much does the consultation cost?
$100 for 30 minutes with me. If you’re suitable and choose to go ahead with treatment on the day, the full $100 is credited to your treatment.
Can I be treated on the same day?
Yes, if I assess you as suitable and you feel ready. If you’d rather go home and think it over, that’s completely fine. Many people do.
Do I need to know what I want before I book?
Not at all. Tell me what’s bothering you, and I’ll explain what will and won’t help. Sometimes that’s a treatment, sometimes it’s a facial or better skincare, and sometimes it’s nothing at all.
How should I prepare?
Bring a list of any medications and supplements you take, and details of any previous cosmetic treatments and when you had them. Write down your questions, too, so we cover everything.
Are there risks?
Every cosmetic procedure carries risks. For any option we discuss, I’ll explain the possible side effects, what recovery involves and what to watch for afterwards, so you can make an informed decision.
Is it suitable for everyone?
No. Some health conditions and medications, and pregnancy or breastfeeding, can mean treatment needs to wait or isn’t right for you. I’ll go through your health history at the consultation.
Can I use Afterpay?
Yes, Afterpay is available in clinic.
