You will need to make a Laser Consultation appointment prior to any treatment. This can be combined with a full skin check at the same time if you wish. At a minimum you will need to have checked the area that you would like treated to ensure there is no evidence of skin cancer prior to any laser treatment.
Please note that laser treatment is not suitable for everybody nor is it suitable for all skin types, and all treatment options for your concerns will be discussed on an individual basis.

How much does it cost to for laser treatment?
Costs of laser treatments vary significantly depending on the condition treated and number of treatments required. These will be discussed with you during your consultation and prior to any treatment taking place. A guide to laser fees can be found on our fees page - click on "Learn more" below. Some conditions may attract a Medicare rebate for treatment with a laser, however not all treatments we offer attract a rebate.
