Initial Consultation & Treatment Planning
Thrive Clinic provides an integrated, structured, medically guided approach to skin and hormonal health in women.
Patients often present with a combination of concerns, including changes in skin quality, inflammatory skin conditions (such as acne, rosacea, and melasma), perimenopause, weight changes, and low energy. Sun-damaged skin is also common.
Dr Grant’s approach focuses on the whole person from the cellular and hormonal foundation, to the structural component of the face. This includes practical concerns such as your professional and personal lifestyle.
Consultation begins with careful assessment and consideration of underlying factors, with treatment plans designed to support long-term skin and health outcomes.
Every patient begins with a Initial Consultation and treatment planning session. A longer Initial consultation and treatment session can be booked which allows enough time for a simple treatment. Please note, complex injectable or high energy laser treatments will not be performed on the day, although a test patch may be arranged. This is because complex medical procedures require thorough consultation, time for consent and in the case of laser, skin preparation and planning - it’s a marathon not a sprint!
