Common reasons to book
Patients may attend for acne, rosacea-like redness, eczema, pigmentation, recurrent irritation, hair loss, scalp symptoms, nail change or a new rash. Urgent or concerning findings may require a different pathway or referral.
Why procedures may wait
Active infection, uncontrolled dermatitis, inflamed acne or an unclear diagnosis can increase the risk of injectables, peels and laser. Stabilizing the skin may make later treatment safer and more predictable.
What to bring
Bring a medication list, previous diagnoses, pathology or test results and photographs showing how the problem changes over time. Avoid concealing an active rash with heavy makeup if possible.
Frequently asked questions
01Can I book for acne and acne scars together?
Yes, but active acne is often addressed before or alongside scar planning.
02Does every hair-loss patient need procedures?
No. Many patients need diagnosis and medical treatment first.
03Can a rash be diagnosed from a photo?
Photos can help triage, but many rashes require direct examination and sometimes tests.
