FAQs

Questions, answered plainly

The things people ask most often. If yours is not here, email Olivia — she answers them herself.

General

What can I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit begins with a consultation, where Olivia discusses your goals and assesses your face properly. It is an opportunity to build a personalised treatment plan and ask anything you want to ask about the procedures.
Do I need a consultation before treatment?
Yes. A consultation is required before any treatment, so that every part of the plan is tailored to your goals and your health history. If there is time available on the day, treatment can often follow straight after.
If I book a consultation, am I obligated to book a treatment?
Not at all. Consultations exist to work out whether a treatment plan aligns with your goals. If it does not, that is a perfectly good outcome and there is no pressure either way.
Do you offer reviews after treatment?
Yes — a complimentary review is included with injectable treatments, usually around two weeks afterwards, so the result can be assessed and adjusted if needed.
Is there parking at the clinic?
Yes. The clinic is a private clinic at 12 Cleland Close, Wānaka — a residential address rather than a commercial premises — with off-street parking directly outside.
Where do your clients come from?
Mostly Wānaka, but a good number travel from Queenstown, Cromwell, Alexandra, Twizel, the West Coast and the wider Otago region.

Treatments

How long do treatments take?
Most appointments run between twenty minutes and an hour, including your consultation. Sculptra is the longest at about ninety minutes.
Are the treatments painful?
Most people describe them as very manageable. Numbing cream is used where it helps, most dermal fillers contain local anaesthetic, and anti-wrinkle injections use an extremely fine needle.
How soon will I see results?
Anti-wrinkle treatment begins to soften from day three with the full effect at two weeks. Filler is immediate but settles over two weeks. Sunekos, microneedling and Sculptra build gradually over weeks to months.
How often should I have anti-wrinkle treatment?
Typically every three to four months. Many clients settle into three to four treatments a year, though this varies with dose and metabolism.
Is there downtime?
Very little. Anti-wrinkle has essentially none; filler may bruise or swell for a few days; microneedling leaves the skin red for a day or two. Olivia will tell you exactly what to expect before you book.
What if I do not like the result?
This is what the three-week review is for. Anti-wrinkle results can be adjusted, and hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if genuinely necessary. It is a conversation, not a dead end.

Booking, pricing and vouchers

How do I book?
Online through our Timely booking system, at any hour. Choose a complimentary consultation if you are new, or book your treatment directly if you are a returning client.
Are your prices on the website?
Yes — every fixed price is listed on the pricing page. Anti-wrinkle, masseter and light-based treatments are priced by units or on assessment, and confirmed at your complimentary consultation before you commit to anything.
Do you sell gift vouchers?
Yes. Vouchers can be bought online for any dollar value and are emailed instantly — see the gift vouchers page.
What is your cancellation policy?
Please give at least twenty-four hours' notice so the appointment can be offered to someone else. Late cancellations and no-shows may incur a fee.
What payment methods do you accept?
Card, bank transfer and Afterpay. Payment is taken at the end of your appointment.
