What happens next
Start with the appointment that matches your concern and the scope of advice you want.
Talk through your goals, your history and what you have noticed. Your assessment starts here.
Understand suitable options, skincare, costs and timing. Take your plan home in writing.
Review your response with your practitioner and adjust the plan as your needs and priorities change.
Your care, over time
A personal skin and aesthetic care plan brings your priorities, treatment options and everyday skincare together. It helps you understand what to start with, what can wait and when to review.
An example starting point
More comfortable skin. A fresher appearance. A plan that feels manageable.
Imagine you have noticed uneven tone and texture, your skincare has become complicated, and you are beginning to think about changes in your face.
You want to look like yourself, feel informed about the options and make decisions that fit your budget and available recovery time.
Your first visitUnderstand & prioritise
Discuss what has changed, your health and treatment history, your current skincare and what you would like to achieve. Your practitioner assesses the concerns within the scope of your consultation and explains whether further assessment would help.
For this example, the first priority might be understanding the skin concerns, while setting aside time to discuss the facial changes with Dr. Amy.
Your plan records: your main priorities, suitable options, likely costs, recovery considerations and agreed next steps.
The early weeksBuild your foundations
Your dermal therapist can help you make sense of your current products and a home-care routine suited to your skin. Agree on what to keep, what to change and how to introduce any recommended changes.
In this example, the aim is a routine you can follow consistently, with a planned check-in to discuss comfort, tolerance and any concerns.
Your plan records: the agreed routine, instructions and how to contact the clinic if you have questions.
The following monthsChoose & sequence
If treatment is appropriate, discuss options for the priority concern, including expected benefits, limitations, risks, recovery and cost. Agree on the order and spacing of any treatments around your needs and schedule.
Skin treatments may form part of a dermal therapist plan. Dr. Amy can assess cosmetic medicine options where relevant, considering them alongside your skin care.
A decision point: proceed with an agreed option, allow more time for the current plan, or arrange further assessment. You can decide at each stage.
Your plan records: the reason for each proposed treatment, timing, aftercare and the next review.
At agreed reviewsAssess & refine
Review what has changed, how your skin has responded and how the plan fits your life. Discuss any unwanted effects or concerns, and use photographs or imaging where appropriate to support the assessment.
In this example, the next step might be continuing a helpful approach, adjusting it, allowing more time or reconsidering a treatment that no longer fits your priorities.
Your plan records: progress, any changes and what happens next. Review timing is agreed individually.
Later in the year & beyondMaintain & look ahead
Revisit your goals as your skin, preferences and circumstances change. Discuss whether maintenance would be useful and how home care, any future treatment and reviews could fit together.
The longer-term aim is a plan you understand and can adapt, helping you care for your skin and appearance in a way that continues to feel like you.
Your plan records: ongoing care, any optional future steps and when to check in again.

Your priorities, considered together
Tell us what has changed, what you would like help with and what you want to keep. If you feel unsure, or have had an experience that made you cautious, there is space to talk about that too. Your practitioner brings the conversation together with your history, assessment and skincare.
You’ll discuss likely benefits, risks, costs and recovery, with room to ask questions before deciding on treatment. Cosmetic medicine assessment and planning are included in both consultations with Dr. Amy. At follow-up consultations, you can review your progress and refine the plan as your priorities change.
Explore our approach to care →Each appointment has a different scope. Your practitioner will explain what is included and whether further assessment would be helpful.
As your needs change
Perimenopause, menopause and other life changes can shift what you need from your skincare and care plan. A Strategy Session with Dr. Amy considers cosmetic medicine, skincare and skin treatments together, with a roadmap you can review and refine over the years.
Explore your personal roadmap →Before your visit
Bring details of previous treatments, your medicines and allergies, and your skincare products or photos of the labels. Let us know about upcoming events and any limits on recovery time.
Explaining what you have noticed is enough. You don’t need the name of a treatment.
A little clarity before you book
Choose the Strategy Session for your face and skin as a whole, the Focused Consultation for one concern with Dr. Amy Chahal, or the Complexion Consultation for skin assessment and planning with a dermal therapist. If you are unsure, contact us before booking.
The Strategy Session ($250) and Focused Consultation ($150) cover the consultation and are not redeemable against treatment. The Complexion Consultation has a $100 deposit redeemable against treatment. Any treatment costs are discussed separately.
Your online booking is an appointment request. Our team will confirm your appointment. If you need help with your request, call (02) 8074 1559.
Please give at least 48 hours’ notice. For cancellations or changes within 48 hours, or missed appointments, a fee of $100–$300 may apply, depending on the service and provider. Fees are charged at our discretion. Contact the team as soon as your plans change.
It may be possible after assessment, depending on suitability, the time available and the treatment being considered. Please ask when booking if this matters to you. A consultation does not commit you to treatment.
If you are continuing an existing plan, contact the team to arrange the right review or treatment appointment. For a new concern or a fresh look at your priorities, we can help you choose a consultation.
Your next step
Your first step can be a conversation. Choose a consultation for time to ask questions and understand your options, without committing to treatment.
Online bookings are appointment requests. Our team will confirm your appointment. Treatment may be possible on the day of your consultation, depending on your assessment, suitability and appointment availability. Treatment costs are discussed separately.
