FOR NEW PATIENTS
The world of facial aesthetics is incredibly confusing - there's a lot of conflicting information on social media and online.
Patients are often anxious about what they've read or heard, worried about looking strange after a treatment or scared of the rare side effects. Dr Jake understands this and will be completely honest in your consultation to help guide you.
New patient consultations are 60 minutes, regardless of what you think you might want or need. This allows for plenty of time to talk, for Dr Jake to get to know you, to have clinical photos taken and for a treatment plan to be designed without rushing. If you're comfortable on the day, an initial treatment may also be performed assuming that you are medically fit and time allows.
FOR RETURNING PATIENTS
If you're a returning patient* of Dr Jake, you'll know how things work and can look forward to your next consultation.
*If you've not seen Dr Jake in over 12 months, your medical history has changed significantly or want to discuss a new concern, please flag this when booking in. You'll probably need a longer consultation, clinical photos, consent, etc.
FOLLOW DR JAKE ON INSTAGRAM
Following Dr Jake on Instagram is by far the best way of keeping up to date with what he's up to, any
major news, industry alerts and he sometimes puts out calls for patients to act as models to be treated.
By scrolling through his posts, reels and stories, you'll get a better idea about who he is, his personality, what motivates him and understand what his attitude to things. If for whatever reason you don't resonate with his take on things, that's ok, there's an injector for everyone! But it's not recommended to book if you don't resonate with his outlook, sense of humour or straight way of talking. Dr Jake always advices patients to choose an injector and doctor who they resonate with and enjoy the company of. At the end of the day, the doctor-patient relationship is built on trust and so you need to bond with the person looking after you! Dr Jake doesn't hold back from saying things how they are and won't shy away from discussing controversies or awkward topics if they are important. This attitude also shines through in his consultations as well and he will be totally honest about how he can or can't help you in your consultation. Over the past two years things have changed a lot for how cosmetic doctors and aesthetic clinics can use social media. You now won't be able to see any of the following on Dr Jake's social media or this website: - before and after images - prices for what treatments might cost - any explicit mentioning of the types of treatments he offers (except Rejuran which is not classified as a medicine) This type of marketing are now illegal in Australia as per the TGA guidelines. (If you see clinics doing this, they are breaking the law and should be reported to the TGA via this pathway)
NEWS: NEW REGULATIONS FOR COSMETIC CLINICS
Two of the main regulators (AHPRA and the TGA) have applied stricter rules around how cosmetic clinics can advertise From March 7th 2024, some previously accepted methods of communicating with patients and marketing are now illegal. There are three main changes that are now reflected on this website and Dr Jake's social media. 1) Advertising the prices of treatments is no longer allowed Why? This decision was made to reduce the temptation for patients to book treatments based solely on the attraction of cheap prices. What's changed? Clinics now aren't allowed to list their prices on their website or on social media. Instead, pricing and quotes can only be done within the context of a consultation as these will be quoted bespokely for your own needs. 2) Advertising explicit treatments is now no longer allowed Why? This decision was made to try and ensure that patients are consulted holistically. (Instead of allowing patients to book in for a specific treatment that they may or may not actually be suitable for) What's changed? New patients wanting consultations with Dr Jake have two simple consultation options: i) 'New patient consultation without a treatment on the day' (30 mins and all of your option will be explored) ii) 'New patient consultation + a treatment on the day if appropriate' (60 mins and all of your options will be explored) 3) Before and after images now have strict criteria as to what is and isn't allowed Why? These images have traditionally been used by practitioners to help illustrate what treatment results look like. It has been decided that this might set unrealistic expectations given that every face is different. What's changed: If a treatment utilises a medicine (such as an injectable product), these before and afters can't be advertised to the public. However these example can still be used as educational tool in the privacy of a consultation to show patients what particular treatments can do.
