Ascot Vale · Melbourne
Skin needling (microneedling), LED phototherapy and hydrafacial at our Ascot Vale clinic, planned as a course around your skin. No prescription needed, and no scripting fee.
Skin appointments in Ascot Vale begin with a skin consultation with Cat, an AHPRA-registered nurse whose focus includes comprehensive skin health. That appointment covers your skin history, what you currently use and your sensitivity, because a course of in-clinic treatments undone by the wrong products at home is a waste of your money.
A needling course runs three to six sessions four to six weeks apart, which means several trips — and tram route 59 stopping close to the door is the practical reason most Ascot Vale, Moonee Ponds and Flemington patients find a course easy to keep to. Skin treatments involve no prescription medicine, so the $35 scripting fee does not apply.
What the treatment involves, how long results last, the downtime and the full list of risks are the same at both clinics: Skin Treatments.
A treatment using fine needles on the skin. At your consultation your practitioner goes through your skin concerns, skin type and history, and current products and medications, then discusses whether needling is suitable for you, its risks including pigmentation change, preparation, aftercare and how any course would be planned.
A treatment using specific wavelengths of light. Your consultation covers your skin concerns, any medications or conditions that may affect suitability, possible side effects, and how sessions would be planned alongside any other treatment.
Comes before any skin treatment. Your skin history, what you use at home, sensitivity and any conditions are reviewed; suitability, risks, aftercare and a plan are discussed; and you decide afterwards whether to go ahead.

No. Skin needling, LED phototherapy and hydrafacial do not involve a Schedule 4 medication, so no prescribing consultation is required and the one-off $35 scripting fee does not apply unless you are also having an injectable treatment.
542 Mt Alexander Rd, Ascot Vale VIC 3032. Tram route 59 runs along Mt Alexander Road between the city and Airport West with stops close to the clinic, Ascot Vale station is about a ten-minute walk, and street parking is generally available.
LED phototherapy and hydrafacial have none and can be done on a work day. Skin needling leaves the skin red and sensitive for 24 to 48 hours, then flaking as it turns over, so it is worth booking that one when you have a quiet day or two after it.
Required disclosure under AHPRA and TGA guidelines
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
All skin treatments carry some degree of risk. Skin needling commonly causes temporary redness, swelling, sensitivity and mild flaking; in rare cases it can cause infection, scarring or changes in pigmentation. LED phototherapy is generally low-risk. Hydrafacial may cause temporary redness in very reactive skin. All risks relevant to your skin and your plan are discussed in full at your consultation.
