A home visit follows the same clinical steps as a clinic appointment: a full assessment, written consent before any treatment, and sterile, single-use equipment.
Booking
When you request a time, tell us your suburb, a few days or times that suit, and anything we should know about getting to you, such as parking, a gate code or how to get into your building.
Getting your space ready
You don't need much:
- A chair at a table, near a window or a good lamp
- Your medication list and details of any past cosmetic treatment
- Pets settled in another room
- Time without interruptions, since a consultation usually takes 30 to 45 minutes
During the visit
Your doctor takes a medical history, asks about your goals and explains your options, including doing nothing. A consultation usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. If you decide to go ahead, you'll sign a consent form first, and nothing happens unless you're comfortable.
Afterwards
You'll get written aftercare and a review, usually about a week later, with the same doctor. If anything concerns you in between, contact your doctor directly.
When a clinic suits better
Some people prefer a clinical setting, or don't have a quiet space at home. If your health or your home means a clinic is the better setting, your doctor will suggest one. Clinic appointments are on Ryrie Street, Geelong, and you can choose one when you book.
