The Melasma Clinic

The clinic asks new patients to go through an online application form rather than booking directly. It states that it takes on only 10 new cases a week, so wait times vary, and the team contacts you about availability once the form and photos are reviewed. Phone enquiries go to (02) 9363 2971.

A new patient consultation is $390 with the dermatologist, Dr Davin Lim, or $230 with the cosmetic physician, Dr Vee Mang. Review appointments are $220 and $140 respectively. Follow-up appointments after a treatment are charged at the same review rates.

The clinic states that Medicare does not cover pigmentation treatments, which are classed as cosmetic. A partial rebate applies to the consultation and follow-up if you hold a valid referral to see a dermatologist, and some birthmarks such as naevus of Ota and CALM birthmarks carry a rebate.

The site names PicoSure Pro and PicoWay picosecond lasers, Q-Switch CuRAS, Laser Genesis, LaseMD Ultra, Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant, Sylfirm X RF microneedling and Ultraformer MPT.
