How do I know what to book in for?
If it is your first time at SJM Skin Aesthetics then either an Express Consultation or Advanced Skin Analysis will be allocated for you depending on which you choose. This allows for a discussion about your skin, concerns, goals and treatment that will best suit you on the day.
Im pregnant, what treatments can’t I have?
If you are pregnant or planning to be pregnant, we understand you want don’t want to take any risks when it comes to your precious little one. You can safely enjoy most of our treatments with the exception of our Superfacial & some Chemical Peels. Treatments such as Skin Needling can be performed outside of the first trimester providing you are comfortable having the treatment and proceeding at your own discretion.
Im a new client, do I need to have a consultation first?
If you are a new client visiting us we recommend you have either our express consultation (30 mins) or our Advanced Skin Analysis (60 mins). This carves out sufficient time to get to know your skin in more detail, your expectations, results and skin goals you may have. Whilst a consultation involves an initial cost, we believe it is a vital investment into your skincare journey and one you won’t regret!
I've had a consultation and skin treatments elsewhere, do I still need a consult at SJM?
All new clients to us will still need to undergo one of our consultation options before starting any treatments with us, even if you have undergone these services elsewhere. Our treatment services, products, protocols & skin philosophies may differ to other clinics therefore it is imperative we conduct our own consultation with you & obtain all the vital information to give you the best outcome possible. If you have visited another clinic, we can request (with your consent) to have your treatment notes transferred to us via email to get up to date but a consult will still be necessary.
Will my face be red and sore after treatment?
This is entirely dependant on what type of treatment you get. It also depends on the type of skin you have. Some people have naturally pink undertones, flush very easily and can be a little more sensitive. Those who have an olive/tan complexion generally have thicker and more resilient skins. They can withstand a lot more force with minimal downtime. Typically treatments such as Skin Needling or IPL will leave the skin feeling warm and looking flushed.
How much downtime will I have? Can I apply makeup?
Downtime will be dependant on the treatment you have done. Treatments such as Skin Needling and IPL Skin Rejuvenation can leave the skin flushed for up to 48 hours. Our mineral makeup can safely be used after any advanced treatment with us.
Will I break out after treatment?
Some people can experience what is called 'purging'. This is due to stimulation and renewal of the skin, almost like a detox. If you have pre existing bumps underneath the skin then there is a possibility they will surface after treatment. Look at this as a positive response as it is part of the cleansing and readjustment process of the skin.
