A comprehensive starting point for any skin concern
A general skin consultation in Richmond is a broad, in-person assessment for any skin concern. It is the right place to start when you are unsure what you need or want a full picture of your skin.
Understanding this concern
Not everyone arrives with a specific concern in mind. Many people simply feel their skin could be better and want an experienced set of eyes to help them make sense of it. A general skin consultation is designed exactly for that: a comprehensive review across hydration, texture, tone, firmness and overall health.
Because it is broad, this appointment is also a useful triage point. If a more focused concern emerges during the assessment, Jolene can explain which area is most relevant and how a more specific review might follow, so you are pointed in a sensible direction from the outset.

What happens during this consultation
This is an approximately 45-minute in-person appointment at our Richmond clinic on Bridge Road, led by Jolene, a cosmetic nurse. She carries out a comprehensive review of your skin, listens to your concerns, and explains what she observes in clear terms.
You will leave with a considered overview of your skin and personalised recommendations for what may be appropriate, including whether a more focused consultation could help. There is no pressure to proceed with anything on the day.
Risks and limitations. A general assessment is a starting point, and options, risks and results differ between individuals. Some concerns are best supported with skincare or lifestyle changes, some may be better addressed another way or through a more specific review, and some may need no intervention at all. Any recommendation depends on an individual assessment, and no outcome can be promised beforehand.
What to bring or share
- A list of the skincare products you currently use
- Details of any medications, supplements or skin conditions
- Any questions or concerns, however broad, you would like Jolene to review
