Question 1

What is the difference between Clinica and a dermatologist?

Accepted Answer

A dermatologist is a medical doctor who diagnoses and treats skin conditions, often including prescription medications and medical procedures. At Clinica, we are a cosmetic skin clinic focused on aesthetic skin concerns such as ageing, pigmentation, acne, rosacea, and scarring using advanced clinical technology and personalised treatment plans. If we assess your concern and feel a medical referral is more appropriate, we will tell you honestly.

Question 3

Can I treat multiple skin concerns at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in many cases. During your consultation we assess all of your concerns together and build a plan that addresses them in the right order and combination. Some treatments overlap across multiple concerns, which can make your plan more efficient and cost effective.

Question 4

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

This varies depending on your concern, skin type, and the treatment involved. Your therapist will give you a realistic expectation during your consultation. Most clinical skin concerns require a course of treatments for best results.

Question 5

How long will it take to see results?

It depends on the concern and the treatment. Some treatments deliver noticeable improvement after a single session. Others, particularly for concerns like pigmentation, acne, and scarring, require a course of treatments over several weeks. Your therapist will give you a realistic timeline during your consultation
