Booking & Cancellation Policy
A deposit is required to secure your appointment, which covers the consultation fee for Dr Yumiko Kadota. This will be credited towards your treatment if you decide to proceed with injectables on the day of appointment. The consultation fee is not transferable to a future appointment.
Any changes can be made up to 72 hours (3 days) prior to your appointment using the link in your confirmation email. We will not change appointments via email or social media.
Deposits will be forfeited for late arrivals, late cancellations, and no shows. We may not be able to accommodate you if you are more than 10 minutes late for your appointment. Late arrivals, late cancellations, or no shows for a second time may result in your future appointments being cancelled and you being blocked from making further bookings.
Please do not bring babies or pets. Children who are able to be unsupervised are welcome to sit in our waiting room.
By completing your online booking request, you agree to the above terms & conditions.
Before & After Your Appointment
THINGS TO CHECK BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
Cosmetic injectables & RF skin treatments are contraindicated in some cases. Please defer your appointment if you:
are pregnant, trying to fall pregnant, or breastfeeding
have had a COVID vaccine in the preceding 2 weeks
have had an ADT (tetanus) booster within the last 6 weeks
have had major dental work within the last 6 weeks
If you have a severe allergy/anaphylaxis to bee or wasp stings, you will not be able to have dermal fillers.
Please come to your appointment with a bare face. Make up increases your infection risk, as well as its removal adding time to your appointment.
If you are having RF skin treatments, please avoid sun exposure and ensure you have stopped active skin care ingredients 3-4 days before your appointment to minimise skin irritation. This includes but is not limited to AHAs, BHAs, PHAs, and retinols.
AFTER CARE
Anti wrinkle: For 4 hours after your treatment, avoid make up, intense or head-down exercise (e.g. yoga, deadlifts), sauna, steam room, facials, tight headwear, alcohol
Dermal fillers: For 24-48 hours after your appointment, avoid make up, intense or avoid make up, intense or head-down exercise (e.g. yoga, deadlifts), sauna, steam room, facials, alcohol, and smoking cigarettes/vaping particularly if you have had lip fillers.
RF: For 24-48 hours after your appointment, avoid make up, intense exercise, and extreme heat. For 3-4 days after your appointment, avoid sun exposure and active skin care ingredients that may irritate your skin.
Successful outcomes rely on both the treating doctor and patient. We may reserve the right to refuse appointments for patients who choose not to follow pre- and after-care instructions, or other behaviours that negatively affect the doctor-patient relationship.
Review Appointments
Follow up appointments are available for Dr Yumiko to check the results of your treatment. Medical procedures carry risks and individual results vary. No results are guaranteed. Anti-wrinkle follow up may be booked 2 weeks after treatment. While you will notice some effects within a few days, it takes 10-14 days for full effect. Please do not book a review before 2 weeks. For those new to anti-wrinkle treatment or new to Dr Yumiko, the dosing may need to be adjusted to find your ‘ideal’ dose. If additional units are required, these are charged per unit as usual.
Dermal filler follow up may be booked 4-6 weeks after treatment. It is normal to be swollen, bruised, and lumpy for the first few weeks. It takes several weeks for dermal filler to integrate into your tissues. Please note that elective dissolving of fillers will not be performed within 4 weeks of treatment.
