How We Work - The Initial Consultation with Dr Imaan

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

In recent years and definitely 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.

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 
•  60 minutes for our waitlisted proactive ageing patients.

Returning patients after an absence of 12 months or more also usually need a new appointment to update us on events during their time away.
