Consultation at TCMA in Surry Hills

Booking, fees and your first appointment

Where is TCMA located?

The Centre for Medical Aesthetics is at 240 Riley St, Surry Hills NSW 2010, Sydney. Call (02) 8074 1559 or email reception@tcmasydney.com.au for help planning your visit.

Do I need a referral?

No referral is required to book a TCMA consultation. You can request an appointment online or contact the team directly.

Can I book directly with Dr Amy Chahal?

Yes. Choose a Focused Consultation for one main concern or a Strategy Session for a broader discussion of cosmetic medicine, skincare, skin treatments and longer-term planning.

What can a dermal therapist help me with?

Our dermal therapists offer Complexion Consultations to assess your skin, review your routine and discuss suitable skin treatments. They can help you plan care for concerns such as dullness, congestion, uneven tone and texture, and recommend medical assessment where needed.

How much are the consultations?

A Complexion Consultation with a dermal therapist requires a $100 deposit, redeemable against treatment, not skincare products. A Focused Consultation with Dr Amy is $150 and a Strategy Session is $250. Both doctor consultation fees are nonredeemable. Treatment fees are separate.

Is the $100 Complexion Consultation deposit redeemable?

Yes. The $100 deposit is redeemable against treatment. It is not redeemable on skincare products. The team can explain how it applies to your proposed treatment when arranging your appointment.

What happens at the first consultation?

Your clinician will ask about your concerns, medical and treatment history, current skincare and priorities. Assessment helps guide the options. You can discuss likely benefits, limitations, risks, recovery and costs before deciding what to do next.

Can I have treatment on the same day?

Treatment may be possible on the day, depending on your assessment, suitability, preparation and appointment availability. Let the team know when booking if you would like to explore this. Some treatments require a separate appointment.

Is my online booking confirmed straight away?

Online bookings are appointment requests. Our team will confirm your appointment. Check the confirmation for your appointment details, preparation instructions and location.

Do I need to know which treatment I want?

No. You can start with a concern or a question. Your consultation helps identify suitable options and the order in which they may fit your plan.

Where are HarmonyXL and Sofwave treatments performed?

HarmonyXL and Sofwave treatments are performed at FutureSkin in Rosebery. You can consult at TCMA in Surry Hills and include them in a broader treatment plan. The team confirms the treatment location when arranging your appointment.

Can I get a second opinion after treatment elsewhere?

Yes. Book a consultation with Dr Amy for a concern after cosmetic treatment elsewhere. Bring treatment records and photographs if available. Urgent or worsening symptoms should receive prompt medical attention rather than wait for a routine booking.

What should I bring?

Bring a list of medicines and supplements, details of previous treatments and any relevant records. Photos of your skincare products can help. Tell the team about upcoming events or travel that may affect treatment timing.

How can I change an appointment or ask about payment?

Contact the team on (02) 8074 1559 or reception@tcmasydney.com.au. Your booking confirmation contains the terms that apply to your appointment. Ask the team about current payment options and any fees before making changes.
