Professional Skincare & Skin Treatments in Armadale
Good skincare starts with understanding your skin, not a promise of flawless or transformed skin. Before we suggest a plan, we look at your skin type, sensitivity, pigmentation, barrier function, sun exposure, current products, medicines and any previous treatments.

Learn moreStart With a Professional Skin Assessment
Your skin assessment looks at your skin type, sensitivity, pigmentation, barrier function, current products, medicines, sun exposure and any previous procedures. The aim is to find a sensible plan that suits you, and to recognise when seeing a doctor would be the better step. A cosmetic skin assessment isn’t a skin cancer check.
Your Skin Concerns and Your Treatment Plan
Common concerns include dryness, sensitivity, uneven tone, visible redness, texture, sun-related changes and caring for your skin before or after a procedure. Your plan might be a simpler home routine, professional products, an in-clinic treatment, or no active treatment while your skin barrier recovers. We can’t guarantee that pores, scars or pigmentation will disappear.
Online shop
Shop the skincare we use in clinic
Our online shop stocks a small range of Osmosis MD skincare, Hydroplex and O Cosmetics sunscreen, the same products our dermal clinicians use and recommend. Orders over $100 ship free, and delivery is free to Armadale and nearby suburbs. Not sure what suits your skin? Just ask us before you order.
Our Professional Skincare Ranges
We stock professional skincare ranges including A Lab, Synergie Skin and Osmosis MD. We’ll suggest products based on your skin assessment, and there’s no expectation that you buy a range. Cosmetic products help care for your skin, but they aren’t treatments for medical skin conditions.
In-Clinic Skin Treatments
In-clinic options may include professional facial treatments, Pixel RF microneedling, IPL and RF skin treatments. Each one has its own considerations for whether it suits you, its own risks and its own aftercare, and we’ll explain all of this before any treatment.
Home Skincare and Product Selection
A home routine usually works best when it’s simple and consistent: gentle cleansing, a moisturiser that suits your skin and daily broad-spectrum sun protection. We introduce active ingredients gradually and adjust them if your skin becomes irritated.
Preparing Skin Before a Procedure
Before some procedures, we may ask you to stop certain active ingredients, avoid tanning or use specific products. These instructions depend on the procedure and your skin, and we’ll give them to you in writing.
Supporting Skin During Recovery
After a procedure, your skin barrier may be more sensitive for a while. A gentle routine, daily sun protection and avoiding active ingredients until we say it’s okay can help your skin heal.
It’s important to know the difference between normal effects and warning signs. The doctor or clinician responsible for your care will give you written instructions and tell you how to get urgent help if you need it. Recovery varies with you, the procedure, your work, how you heal and any complications, so we’ll talk about timeframes with you individually.
Risks, Reactions and When to Seek Medical Advice
Skin treatments and products can carry real risks and complications. This is a general summary only, not a complete or personal consent discussion:
- irritation or dermatitis
- dryness or barrier disruption
- photosensitivity
- pigment change
- allergic reaction
- interaction with medicines or procedures
Before you decide, the doctor or clinician responsible for your care will explain how likely each risk is, how serious it could be, how it’s managed and any risks specific to you. No procedure should be thought of as routine, risk-free or right for every adult.
Questions
Professional Skincare: Your Questions Answered
Do I need many products?
Not necessarily. A simple routine may suit you better, especially if your skin is sensitive or irritated.
Can skincare remove pigmentation or scarring?
Products may help with some concerns, but we’d need to assess your skin first. Some changes need a doctor to take a look.
Is a professional product automatically suitable for me?
No. The ingredients, their strength, your skin’s condition and any other treatments all affect whether a product suits you.
Can I use active products around a procedure?
Please follow the specific before and after instructions from the doctor or clinician looking after you.
How often should a plan be reviewed?
It’s worth reviewing your plan when your skin changes, irritation happens, your medicines change or you’re planning a procedure.
