Skin treatment at our Ascot Vale clinic
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.

Skin treatment at Ascot Vale
Do skin treatments at the Melbourne clinic need a prescription?
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.
How do I get to the clinic for a course of treatments?
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.
Which skin treatments have no downtime?
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.
Important health information
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.
- All treatments require a consultation with a qualified practitioner. Individual results vary. This page is general information only, not medical advice.
- Cosmetic procedures carry risks. These are explained to you in full at your consultation, along with the aftercare involved, before you decide whether to proceed.
- All cosmetic procedures carry potential risks, including bruising, swelling, infection, scarring and allergic reactions. Some risks may be serious or lasting.
- Results differ from person to person. A consultation assesses suitability — it does not promise that a treatment will suit you or that you will achieve a particular outcome.
- Schedule 4 medications are prescribed only after a formal consultation with one of our qualified prescribing doctors, in line with AHPRA and TGA requirements.
