An update on COVID-19 and your clinic visit

Please select your state or region from the drop down list above for the most recent update on closing and opening dates due to lockdown or restrictions.

Please note: At this stage, some of clinics remain closed due to unforeseen impacts of the COVID-19 lockdown. All clients will be contacted with further information and updates as things progress. We appreciate your patience during this time.

For our cosmetic injectables, our doctors recommend you wait 3-days post your COVID vaccination for any anti-wrinkle treatments and 2-weeks post your COVID vaccination for any dermal filler treatments.

For our or skin penetration treatments (such as Micro-needling, Meso-needling and Fractional RF) our doctors recommend you wait 3-days post your COVID vaccination before undergoing your treatment.

All other treatments can be performed at any time, given the client is not experiencing any flu-like symptoms.

As per the current New South Wales and Victoria Government Public Health Order it is a requirement that all clients attending our clinics in NSW and VIC have received both of their COVID-19 vaccinations or hold a valid exemption. Proof of these will be required before entry.

If you book into an appointment and attend this without meeting the necessary Government health requirements for entry, you will forfeit your treatment and it will be classified as a “no show” as per our cancellation policy.

Clients who are under 18 years old, must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.  It is then required that as per the current New South Wales Government Public Health Order that the accompanying parent/guardian has received both of their COVID-19 vaccinations or hold a valid exemption. Proof of these will be required before entry.

Yes. We are abiding by all health requirements from the state and federal governments including floor markings to help maintain a 1.5 metre distance in the reception area and waiting rooms, as well as a 10-20 person maximum in clinic (depending on local regulations). Please attend your appointment alone wherever possible to help minimise the number of people in clinic. During your treatment you will be in a room with only you and your technician or medical expert who will be wearing protective equipment, including a face mask and gloves and practicing safe distancing wherever possible.

To assist us in maintaining safe social distancing, please attend your appointment alone. If you are new to the treatment, arrive just 10 minutes before your appointment and if you have had the treatment before, arrive just 5 minutes before your appointment.

Victorian Clinics only: If you have recently purchased a series of treatments during June or July 2020, we will be extending your package by the time period of the recent closure. This means you will have plenty of time to redeem your services upon our reopening!

Don’t worry, any results you have already achieved won’t be reversed.  However naturally, any delay in your treatment schedule may delay further results. Once clinics reopen, our team of skilled laser technicians will review your treatment plan and timings to ensure you get back on track and achieving the best results.
