20s–30s
Plan early. Treat less.
Lines that start to stay when your face is at rest. Concealer settling somewhere new. The easiest stage to plan for, skin quality, sun protection and a conservative, consultation-first approach.
How we work
The long version. Nothing left out.
Australia tightened the advertising rules for cosmetic clinics in September 2025. Most of what this industry used to persuade you with is now off the table. This page is what we put in its place: the prescribing chain, the screening we will not skip, the protocol if something goes wrong, and an honest list of what you will not find on this website.
What you won't find here
Six things missing from this website on purpose.
Australia tightened the advertising rules for cosmetic clinics in September 2025. Some of these prohibitions are older, the ban on patient testimonials has applied to every registered health practitioner since 2010. Most of what this industry used to persuade you with is now off the table, and we have removed all of it.
We are telling you this because the absence is the point. What replaced it is on this page: registration numbers you can check, a published safety protocol, every price we are permitted to publish, and a consultation that ends with a written plan and a price, whether or not you go ahead.
Patient testimonials and reviews
Banned for all regulated health services under s.133 of the National Law, including embedding your Google reviews on your own site.
Star ratings and “1,500 five-star” badges
Same rule. Selecting which reviews to show turns them into advertising.
Before-and-after photos of injectable results
Prohibited by the TGA, because they promote a prescription-only medicine to the public.
Brand names, “anti-wrinkle”, “filler”, unit or ml prices
Prescription-only medicines cannot be named, described or priced in public advertising.
Discounts, countdowns and payment plans on injectable treatments
Financial inducement on a higher-risk procedure. It is meant to be a clinical decision, not a sale. Our skin and laser prices are published in full, and we never run countdowns, flash sales or limited-time treatment pricing. The membership is a standing scheduled-care plan, not a sale, and it never includes injectables.
“See your result” AI simulators
Explicitly prohibited. No tool may predict your post-procedure appearance.
Who writes the prescription
A nurse assesses you. A doctor prescribes.
Prescription-only treatments in Australia require a real-time consultation with a medical practitioner, in person or by video, before anything is prescribed, every single time. Not a form, not a text message, not a standing order written weeks ago for somebody else.
You are told the name and registration of the prescriber for your clinic when you book, and you meet them before anything is prescribed.
Your nurse assesses, plans and treats. She does not prescribe, and this website does not imply she does.
If you have had a skin cancer
Thirty-five years of Perth sun is a medical history, not a complexion.
We treat a lot of sun damage. That means we also see things that are not sun damage, and there is an order in which this has to happen.
01
A current skin check comes first
If you have not had a full skin check in the last twelve months, have one before we treat pigment with light. We will hold your appointment while you do, this is not us being difficult, it is the order the assessment has to happen in.
02
We do not treat an undiagnosed lesion
If a mark is changing, irregular, or new, it goes to a doctor before it goes near a laser. Energy-based treatment can lighten a lesion without removing it, and that can delay a diagnosis that matters far more than the mark did.
03
Bring your histology
If you have had something excised or biopsied, tell us where and bring the report. Previously treated skin is assessed individually and we treat around it differently.
04
Not all pigment is the same problem
Sun-driven pigment and hormone-driven pigment respond to different settings, and the wrong light can make melasma worse rather than better. Which one you have is decided at assessment, not from a photograph.
05
We will refer you out
If what you have needs a dermatologist or a skin cancer clinic rather than us, we say so and we do not treat it. That happens, and it is a complete consultation, not a failed one.
Skin Societe does not diagnose or treat skin cancer. We screen for suitability before light-based treatment and refer you to a doctor or a skin cancer clinic where that is the right next step.
Safety, in detail
The part most clinics don't publish.
01
Before anything is prescribed
A real-time consultation with the prescriber, in person or by video, every single time. Never by text, email or form.
02
Before you consent
Written and verbal consent covering the procedure, its risks, the alternatives, the cost, and the qualifications of the person treating you.
03
If something concerns you afterwards
Call your clinic on the number in your aftercare sheet. Outside hours you are given a clinician contact, not a voicemail.
04
If it is an emergency
Vision changes, severe or increasing pain, skin turning white, blue or grey, spreading redness, or difficulty breathing or swallowing. Call 000 or present to an emergency department, then call us.
05
Complication management
Our clinics hold the agents and equipment required to manage the recognised complications of the procedures we perform, and our practitioners are trained in their use.
06
Screening we will not skip
Suitability includes psychological readiness. If a treatment is unlikely to give you what you are hoping for, we decline it and tell you why.
07
Who operates the laser
Cosmetic laser and IPL in Western Australia sit under the Radiological Council, not Ahpra. The apparatus is registered and the operator is licensed separately. Our dermal therapists and clinicians deliver laser and light under that framework; they are not registered health practitioners and we say so on their profiles. Ask us for the licence details at your consultation and we will show you.
Ageing has a blueprint. So does your plan.
20s–30s
Plan early. Treat less.
Lines that start to stay when your face is at rest. Concealer settling somewhere new. The easiest stage to plan for, skin quality, sun protection and a conservative, consultation-first approach.
40s
Map where things have moved.
Volume shifts, cheeks flatten, and the face reads as tired. Perth sun starts to show as pigment. This is also when perimenopause usually begins, falling oestrogen changes hydration, elasticity and, for a lot of women, brings breakouts back along the jaw. If you have started HRT in the last six months, tell us: it changes what we recommend and what we would hold off on.
50s+
Skin remembers every summer.
The jawline softens, texture changes. And menopause changes hydration and elasticity in a way no serum fixes. None of it happened overnight, and none of it is without options.
Registered nurse is a protected title under the National Law and registration can be verified on the Ahpra public register. Dermal therapists and clinicians are qualified in skin and laser treatments and are not registered health practitioners. Any cosmetic procedure is a serious decision with risks as well as benefits, and individual results vary. Cosmetic treatments are for adults. See our policies for the full terms.
Start with a conversation. Not a commitment.
A complimentary 30-minute consultation at any of our five clinics. You leave with a written plan and a price, and where the assessment finds you suitable, treatment can go ahead the same visit.
