The treatment

What is Skin Consultation?

The skin consultation is a professional skin analysis that helps you understand your skin fully, so it can be treated effectively.

Using the Observ 520 diagnostic imaging system, we capture six high-resolution images across multiple light modes to reveal what's happening beneath the surface, from fine lines still forming and sun damage to congestion, pigmentation, pore size, hydration, tone and firmness. One of our expert skin therapists then takes you through a fully personalised skin health plan, which may include in-clinic treatments, an at-home skincare prescription, and lifestyle and dietary advice.

Because the imaging is repeatable, you can compare before-and-after images over time and see real proof of your results. We recommend a consultation at least twice a year, and your consultation fee is redeemable toward a same-day treatment or a product purchase of $200 or more.

How it works

How your treatment works.

Your skin is more complex than it looks, and treating it effectively starts with understanding it fully.

The Observ 520 captures six high-resolution images of your skin using multiple light modes. Each mode reveals a different layer of information, so we can see beneath the surface, not just what's visible on top.

  • It shows both visible concerns and potential future issues, like fine lines still forming
  • Your skin therapist interprets the images and builds a fully personalised plan
  • Because the imaging is repeatable, you can compare before-and-after images over time and see real proof of your progress

The result is a clear picture of your skin and a plan built around what it actually needs.

How to care for your skin afterwards

Been here before?

You've probably already spent money on skin that didn't change.

Real skin concerns don't respond to guesswork, or to whatever machine a clinic happens to own. They respond to the right treatment, at the right depth, in the right order. That is the difference between spending on your skin and actually solving it.

Why Cronulla Skin Sanctuary

Real results and genuine care

For twenty years the Shire has trusted the Sanctuary to take the guesswork out of skin. Paramedical treatments, honest advice, and a therapist who holds your history: that is the difference between a fluffy facial and a plan that actually changes your skin.

Your first appointment

The first appointment isn't a treatment.

It's ninety minutes of working out what's actually going on, what you've already tried, and what's realistic. You leave with a plan in writing covering treatment, homecare and the order to do them in.

$85Skin consultation, about 90 minutes. Virtual consultation $60.

    Your skin, read properly.

    A full skin analysis including imaging, plus a conversation about what you've used before and how your skin reacted.

  2. 02

    You get the plan in writing.

    What to treat first and why, what each stage costs, and roughly how long it takes. If you do not need a treatment yet, that is the answer.

    You start when you're ready.

    The same therapist follows your progress and adjusts the plan as your skin responds.

The plan is yours to keep whether or not you book anything on the day.

Client review

I am a beauty therapist and educator at TAFE and would only trust my skin to the specialists at Cronulla Skin Sanctuary. Their education and training, equipment and machinery are second to none.

Before you book

The honest bit: what's normal, and when to wait.

Every skin is different. Here is what tends to happen afterwards, and the times it is worth pausing to check with your therapist first.

What's normal afterwards

None. The Observ 520 is a non-invasive imaging system, so there's nothing applied to your skin and nothing to recover from.

When to check with us first

This is a non-invasive skin analysis suitable for most people. If you have a specific skin condition or concern you'd like assessed, let us know when you book so we can allow time for it.

Not sure it is right for you? A consultation covers your history, your skin and your goals before anything begins.

What is the skin consultation?

It's a professional skin analysis that helps you really get to know your skin, beyond what the eye can see.

  • Pore size and texture
  • Dehydration and moisture levels
  • Skin tone and firmness
  • Overall skin health and signs of ageing
