For all clinical treatments including skin tightening, lifting, and rejuvenation — yes. A consultation is required before your first treatment. This is not a formality. It is how we ensure every treatment plan is built around your skin specifically, not a generic protocol. Consultations are available in-clinic, via teleconsultation, or as an advanced skin analysis using our Observ 520x imaging technology. The consultation fee is fully redeemable on your first treatment.

There is no single best treatment as it depends on the degree of laxity, your skin type, and your goals. At Clinica, we commonly recommend HIFU for lifting and tightening, radiofrequency for skin firming, and CO2 or fractional laser for resurfacing and collagen remodelling. Often a combination approach delivers the best results. Your therapist will assess your skin and recommend the most appropriate option during your consultation.

Pricing varies depending on the treatment, the area being treated, and the number of sessions recommended. Your therapist will provide a full treatment plan with associated costs during your consultation. Afterpay is available at Clinica.

It depends on the treatment, the degree of concern, and your goals. Some clients come to us wanting subtle maintenance and prevention, others are looking for more visible improvement in firmness and texture. We set realistic expectations from the start and build a plan around what you are trying to achieve. Some clients see meaningful improvement after a single HIFU session. Others benefit from a course of three to six treatments depending on the concern and how their skin responds. As your skin evolves and your goals develop, we adjust your plan accordingly. It is also worth noting that because we are constantly ageing, maintenance sessions play an important role in sustaining your results over time. Your therapist will guide you on the right cadence for your skin.

Every device works differently and carries its own level of sensation and downtime — but most are very well tolerated. What matters is that none of this is left to chance. Your consultation is designed to account for all of it. We consider not just your skin and your goals but your lifestyle — how much downtime you can realistically take, when you can take it, and which devices are best suited to your skin type. By the time you begin treatment, you know exactly what to expect and your plan has been built around your life, not just your skin.

The downtime time varies depending on the treatment, the intensity used, and how your skin individually responds, so it is difficult to give a one-size-fits-all answer. This is one of the reasons we prioritise a consultation first. Understanding your lifestyle, your schedule, and your tolerance for recovery is just as important as understanding your skin. Some clients cannot afford downtime during the work week, others are happy to plan around a recovery period if it means better results. Our range of devices means we can almost always find a solution that fits your lifestyle, whether that is a no-downtime radiofrequency session or a more intensive CO2 resurfacing treatment planned around your calendar. Your therapist will walk you through exactly what to expect before anything is booked.

Results vary depending on the treatment, the degree of concern being addressed, and how your skin responds. HIFU results typically last 12 months with a single session. Radiofrequency results build progressively with a course of treatments and are maintained with periodic sessions every few months. CO2 laser can deliver results lasting several years. Regardless of the treatment, the ageing process continues — maintenance sessions and a good skincare routine will extend and protect your results over time. Maintenance sessions and a good skincare routine will extend and protect your results over time. We also typically incorporate clinical facials bespoke to your skin at a more frequent pace, working closer to the surface and upper layers of the dermis to keep skin hydrated, clear, and consistently radiant alongside your deeper treatment plan.
