The Initial Consultation with Dr Imaan

As the saying goes, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

In recent years since Covid, medicine and medical care has become increasingly fragmented with the availability of Telehealth and online services that provide the illusion of good care when in reality, it’s more convenience than care.

At Skin Essentials all new patients require an initial consultation without exception. 

Based on the type of appointment booked, the time allocated to this appointment varies from 

•  15 minutes (skin cancer checks and most review appointments of an existing concern), 
•  30 minutes (most skin and hair concerns including simple medical aesthetics) to 
• 45 minutes for medical aesthetics
•  60- 90 minutes for our waitlisted proactive ageing patients.

Returning patients after an absence of

• 6 months will need a long consultation
• 12 months or more will start over as a new patient
