Medical Skin Consultation
Planning plastic surgery with Dr Scott Turner? Healthy, well-prepared skin supports a smoother recovery and helps you enjoy your results for longer. Our Medical Skin Consultation is designed for patients undergoing surgery with Dr Turner, who consults from our Canberra clinic. Together we create a tailored skincare and treatment plan to support every stage of your surgical journey, before your procedure and throughout your recovery.
Preoperative skin preparation
In the weeks leading up to surgery, the condition of your skin can influence how well it heals. During your consultation we assess your skin and design a preparation plan that may include medical-grade skincare and targeted treatments to optimise skin health, strengthen the skin barrier and support a more comfortable recovery. Getting your skin into its best possible condition gives your surgery the strongest foundation.
Postoperative care, healing and scar revision
Recovery doesn’t end when you leave hospital. We guide you through gentle, stage-appropriate care to support healing, calm inflammation and look after incision sites. As you progress, we offer surgical scar revision treatments and tissue regeneration therapies to help soften, flatten and refine scars, restoring tone, texture and resilience. Every plan is matched to your specific procedure and how your skin is responding.
How your plan works
Your consultation begins with a discussion of the surgery you’re having, followed by a thorough skin assessment. From there we build a personalised skincare and treatment plan covering the lead-up to your procedure and your recovery. Each plan is reviewed with Dr Turner to ensure it complements your surgical care, so you can feel confident your skin is supported at every step.

How long does the skin consultation take?
Please allow around 75 to 90 minutes for your appointment. This gives us time to discuss your skin in detail, complete your advanced skin analysis, and carry out your LED treatment and transdermal infusion on the day.
How much does the consultation cost?
The bespoke consultation and skin analysis is $199, which includes your full skin assessment, a tailored treatment plan, a personalised skincare regimen, a comprehensive report emailed to you afterwards, plus an LED light therapy treatment and a transdermal infusion on the day.
How often should I have follow-up consultations?
The frequency of follow-up consultations depends on your individual skin goals and concerns. Most clients benefit from follow-up appointments every 4-6 weeks to monitor progress and adjust their skincare regimen as needed. During your initial consultation, our specialists will create a personalized treatment plan that includes recommended follow-up intervals to help you achieve and maintain optimal skin health.
Are the LED light therapy treatments safe for all skin types?
LED light therapy is generally safe and suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. Different light wavelengths target specific skin concerns—red light promotes collagen production and reduces inflammation, while blue light helps with acne-prone skin. During your consultation, our specialists will assess your skin and recommend the most appropriate light therapy wavelengths for your individual needs.
What should I do to prepare for my consultation?
We recommend arriving with clean skin, free of makeup and skincare products. Please avoid any active treatments (like retinoids or vitamin C serums) for 24 hours before your appointment. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your face and neck. If you have any specific skin concerns or are taking medications that affect your skin, please bring a list to discuss with our specialists.
What Our Clients Say
Our family cannot speak highly enough of this beautiful clinic and the incredible team who work there. From the moment you walk in, the environment feels calm, welcoming and professional. The staff combine genuine warmth with impressive expertise, and put both adults and teenagers completely at ease. We have all been consistently thrilled with the results — natural, confidence-boosting and exactly what we hoped for. We trust them completely with our family’s skin health and truly can’t recommend them highly enough.
I completed a 12-month bridal skin preparation package to get my skin ready for my wedding, and the results were incredible. My plan included HydraFacials, Laser Genesis, and microneedling, along with Biologique Recherche and SkinCeuticals skincare. Over the year my skin completely transformed — my hyperpigmentation and acne scars significantly improved, and my complexion became clear, smooth and glowing. Cara, Tresa and Ruby are extremely knowledgeable and focused on long-term skin health. I highly recommend to any bride looking for real results.
I’ve been coming here for a few months and have had such a wonderful experience. Treasa, Ruby and Cara are an incredibly kind and caring team. Ruby always takes the time to check in on my skin after every treatment and really cares about my progress. Tresa is warm, gentle and very attentive, always making sure I’m comfortable and well looked after. I’ve seen a huge improvement in my skin and I’m so happy with the results. Highly recommend!
I’ve been going here for years and it’s always a 5-star experience. The team are warm, thoughtful and extremely discreet. They truly listen and I’ve never felt rushed or ‘sold to’. They’ve helped me achieve amazing results and my skin has honestly never looked better. Huge thank you to Cara and the team. Absolute legends!
I’ve been coming to The Clinic: Skin Health for about a year and I could not thank the girls enough for what they have done for my skin! I had tried everything to stop some aggressive and painful acne and within a couple of months it was all gone — not even a scar left! My skin is smooth, clear and glowing every day. The relaxing atmosphere and gentle touch make it the best place to unwind, plus the complimentary head massages are to die for.
The entire team at The Clinic are educated and skilled at using their products and methods effectively to assist my mature skin in maintaining a glow, and importantly each therapist is also caring. Thank you team.
Cara and the team have been absolutely amazing in transforming my skin. I have been going for over 2 years now, and they have been so helpful in managing my rosacea — first in diagnosing and treating it, and now in ongoing maintenance. The team is so knowledgeable and helpful, and my skin has never been better.
After being told by another skin clinic that nothing could be done about my acne except going on Accutane, I went to The Clinic Skin Health for a second opinion. It’s safe to say it was the best decision I could’ve made. Cara is so knowledgeable and her holistic approach meant no stone was left unturned in uncovering the root cause of my acne. 6 months in, my skin has transformed entirely and is something I take pride in.
I first stumbled upon The Clinic in 2022, when I had all but given up on my skin. Having struggled for years and tried countless treatments, I was resigned to having acne forever. They not only cleared up my skin, but helped me understand my lifestyle and body better. Cara, Treasa and Ruby are incredibly knowledgeable, warm and welcoming. If you are struggling with your skin, I highly recommend reaching out to The Clinic — you will not regret it!
