Understand Your Skin First. Then Create the Right Plan.
The Derm Clinic takes a consultation-first approach to skin health and aesthetics, beginning with understanding the individual rather than recommending a treatment before the person has even walked through the door.
Led by Nurse Practitioner Ashleigh Schwarz in Kingscliff, every new patient's journey starts with a comprehensive clinical assessment. Medical history, previous treatments, current skincare, lifestyle, concerns and expectations can all contribute to understanding what's happening with the skin and what an appropriate pathway forward may look like.
Where clinically suitable, advanced diagnostic technology including VISIA® Skin Analysis can provide detailed imaging and objective information about skin characteristics. This can help establish a baseline, inform treatment planning and provide a way to monitor changes over time.
The clinic works with people experiencing a broad range of skin concerns, including acne and congestion, rosacea and redness, pigmentation and melasma, scarring, uneven texture and tone, fine lines, wrinkles and age-related changes affecting facial structure and skin quality.
From there, recommendations are based on the individual's assessment, clinical suitability, priorities and longer-term skin goals rather than trends or a one-size-fits-all approach.
For people who have spent years moving between products, treatments and conflicting advice without really understanding what their skin needs, that process provides a more considered place to begin.
At The Derm Clinic, the treatment isn't the starting point. Understanding the skin is.
Five Star Reviews
“Consultation comes first at The Derm Clinic, where evidence-based skin care is built around individual assessment, long-term skin health and clinically appropriate treatment.”
What happens at my first appointment at The Derm Clinic?
New patients begin with a comprehensive consultation with a Nurse Practitioner. This can include medical and treatment history, assessment of current skincare, discussion of concerns and goals, clinical photography and diagnostic imaging such as VISIA Skin Analysis where appropriate. A personalised treatment plan is then developed according to clinical suitability.
What skin concerns does The Derm Clinic treat?
The clinic provides assessment and treatment planning for concerns including acne, congestion, rosacea, redness, pigmentation and melasma, scarring, uneven skin texture and tone, fine lines, wrinkles, volume loss and broader skin-quality concerns.
Is The Derm Clinic a dermatologist?
No. This distinction is important for the directory. The Derm Clinic describes itself as a Nurse Practitioner-led skin health and aesthetics practice. Its clinicians work within their registered professional scope, and the clinic specifically states that it does not provide skin cancer screening, recommending regular checks with an appropriate skin cancer specialist.
