Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a skin care consultation at HCDL?
During your skin care consultation, our experienced registered nurses or dermatologists conduct a thorough assessment of your skin type, concerns, and lifestyle. This includes a complimentary OBSERV skin analysis, which uses advanced imaging to reveal underlying skin conditions not visible to the naked eye. Based on this, a personalised skin care plan is developed with recommendations for prescription-grade active ingredients and medical-grade products tailored specifically to your needs.
Can I have a skin care consultation separately from seeing a dermatologist?
Yes, skin care consultations are often conducted separately by our highly trained registered nurses. However, skin care advice is also integrated into consultations with our dermatologists when part of a broader medical or cosmetic treatment plan.
How long does it take to see results from a new skin care routine?
Results vary depending on your skin condition and the products used, but many patients notice improvements in skin texture, hydration, and clarity within 4 to 6 weeks of consistent use.
Are the skin care products recommended at HCDL available only through the clinic?
Yes, we provide medical-grade and prescription-strength products that are often not available over the counter. These are carefully selected to ensure safety and efficacy and are dispensed directly to patients at the clinic.
How does skin care complement other treatments like lasers or injectables?
Proper skin care supports and enhances the results of professional treatments by preparing the skin beforehand and promoting healing and maintenance afterward. Combining medical-grade skin care with procedures ensures longer-lasting and more effective outcomes.
