SKIN TREATMENTS
Skin care and topical products
Advice on skincare and topical treatments selected for your concern, with nurse guidance or doctor assessment as appropriate.
Choosing skincare for your concern
A practical skincare routine starts with appropriate cleansing, moisturising and sun protection. Additional products depend on your concern and how your skin tolerates them; there is no single vitamin A, B and C routine that everyone needs.
Evidence varies between ingredients, formulations and conditions. Price or branding alone does not establish how well a product will work.
Nurse advice or doctor assessment?
Our nurses advise on non-prescription skincare for pigmentation and appearance-related concerns. A doctor assesses skin conditions, diagnostic uncertainty and concerns that may need prescription treatment.

Prescription treatments
When a prescription is appropriate, the doctor selects the product, strength and application plan during consultation. Treatment for solar keratoses or a diagnosed superficial skin cancer requires its own medical assessment; ordinary skincare advice is not a substitute.
Fees
See our assessment fees. Product and pharmacy costs vary and are discussed when planning treatment.
