Understand the concern
A concern such as pigmentation, texture or facial ageing can have more than one contributing factor. Assessment helps us decide what needs attention and which options deserve consideration.
OUR CARE · TCMA, SURRY HILLS
Care that starts
with understanding you.
Cosmetic medicine and skin care, considered together.
The Centre for Medical Aesthetics (TCMA) is a cosmetic and skin clinic in Surry Hills, Sydney, led by cosmetic physician Dr Amy Chahal. We bring medical assessment, dermal therapy and home skincare together around your concerns and long-term priorities.

THE THINKING BEHIND YOUR CARE
Your priorities.
A considered plan.
You do not need to arrive knowing which treatment to ask for. Start with what has changed, what concerns you and what you would like to understand.
We consider your skin, facial features, medical history and previous treatments before discussing suitable options. Your plan should make sense for your goals, your time and your budget.
That conversation includes what treatment may achieve, its limitations and whether waiting, skincare or another approach would be more appropriate.
Make an informed choice
We explain the proposed approach, expected benefits, risks, alternatives, costs and recovery before you decide. You have time to ask questions and consider your next step.
Review as life changes
Your priorities and skin can change over time. Follow-up is an opportunity to review progress, discuss your experience and refine your treatment and skincare plan where appropriate.

BEFORE YOU COME IN
What would you

Do I have to decide on treatment at my consultation?
No. The consultation gives you information to consider. You can ask questions, review the options and take time before deciding whether to proceed.
Can I seek advice about treatment I have had elsewhere?
TCMA offers second-opinion consultations. Bring details of your previous treatment, including dates and products or devices if known, so these can be considered in your assessment.
Where is the clinic?
TCMA is at 240 Riley Street, Surry Hills NSW 2010, Sydney. See contact details and plan your visit.
Treatment suitability is assessed individually. All treatments have risks and limitations, and results vary. Your practitioner will discuss these with you before you decide.
