These are prices, not estimates, and they are the prices you pay. A consultation is $85, or $120 with the medical director, and it is charged whether it ends in a treatment plan or in us sending you to a dermatologist. If you go ahead with treatment at a later appointment, the consultation fee comes off that first treatment. Test patches are free and so is the two-week review after any injectable, because charging for the appointment that checks our own work would be a strange thing to do. There are no packages to buy, no membership, no points and no discount for committing to a course — a discount for committing in advance is a reason to keep coming that has nothing to do with your skin. Aesthetic treatment is elective and no insurance plan covers it; see /payment-and-financing.html for how paying actually works here.
Paying
How paying actually works here
No insurance covers this
Aesthetic treatment is elective and no health plan pays for it. Anywhere that offers to bill your insurer for cosmetic treatment is proposing to describe it as something it was not, and that is a false claim with your name on it rather than theirs. We will not do it, and you should leave anywhere that offers.
The price is the price
What is on /pricing.html is what you pay. There is no fee that appears at the end, no facility charge, and nothing to pay for the two-week review or for a test patch.
The consultation fee comes off
If you go ahead with treatment, the $85 or $120 consultation fee is deducted from your first treatment. If you do not go ahead, it was the price of an hour of a clinician's time and an honest answer.
We do not sell packages
No blocks of six, no membership, no points. Where a treatment genuinely needs a course — laser hair reduction, microneedling, cryolipolysis — you pay per session as you have it, and you can stop after any one of them without owing us the rest.
Third-party finance, and what to watch for
Some clients use a medical finance plan and we can point you at the usual ones. Read the interest rate that applies after any promotional period, because it is frequently very high, and never let anybody in a clinic fill the application in for you. If you would have to borrow in order to afford something elective, our honest advice is to wait. We will still be here.
Deposits and cancellations
A treatment booking holds a whole hour of one clinician's day, so treatments over $500 take a $100 deposit which comes off the price. Cancel or move it with more than 48 hours' notice and the deposit is refunded in full. Inside 48 hours we keep it, once. Consultations take no deposit at all.
Questions
Prices — the questions we are asked most
Is the price on this page the price I pay?
Yes. There is no fee that appears at the end, no facility charge, and nothing to pay for a test patch or for the two-week review after an injectable. If a plan needs several sessions you are told how many at the consultation and you pay per session as you have them.
Why do you charge for a consultation?
Because it is an hour of a clinician's time and it frequently ends without a booking, which is the point of it. A free consultation is not free — it is paid for by the people who go ahead, which creates a quiet pressure to make sure they do. If you do go ahead, the fee comes off your first treatment.
Do you offer discounts or seasonal offers?
No. A discount for committing in advance is a reason to have a medical treatment that has nothing to do with your face, and a limited-time offer is a device for shortening the time somebody spends thinking. Neither belongs anywhere near this.
What if I need more sessions than expected?
You pay for the ones you have, at the same price, and you are assessed before each one. Because there is no package to complete, stopping after two of a planned four costs you nothing further and nobody will telephone you about it.
Is insurance any help?
No. Aesthetic treatment is elective and no health plan covers it. Anywhere offering to bill your insurer for cosmetic treatment is proposing to describe it as something it was not, and that is a false claim with your name on it rather than theirs.
Is a cheaper clinic worse?
Not necessarily, and price is a signal worth reading. Injectables have a real product cost, and a price far below the market usually means less product, a diluted product, a less experienced injector, or no plan for a complication. Ask what happens if it goes wrong and whether they hold what is needed on site.
Aesthetic treatment is elective medicine, and this page is not medical advice for you. Aesthetic treatment is elective, it is medicine wherever it breaks the skin, and nothing on this website is medical advice for you in particular. We do not diagnose disease. Every treatment here begins with a consultation and a medical history, because your health, your medication, your skin type and what you have had done before all change what is safe and what is sensible. Some people are told no. Being told no is a normal outcome of a consultation here rather than a failure of one, and it costs exactly the same as being told yes.
A written plan and a written price before anything is booked
Book a consultation
Pick a clinician and an hour from the calendar — it shows only the times each of them genuinely has free. A consultation is a full hour at a table with no treatment couch in the room, and it costs $85, or $120 with the medical director. If you go ahead, that comes off your first treatment. If we tell you the answer is nothing, or a dermatologist, it costs exactly the same.
