Questions, answered.

No. That’s our job.

Tell us what’s bothering you, what you’ve noticed, or simply that you’re due for a check-up. We’ll take a look, explain what we find and talk through your options.

Not at all.

Six months, six years or sixteen years, you don’t need to arrive with an apology.

We’ll start with where things are now, explain what we find and make a plan from there.

No lectures. No judgement.

Not necessarily.

Tooth decay can develop without causing pain, particularly in its earlier stages. You can have a cavity and have no idea it’s there.

As decay progresses through the enamel and into the dentine, it gets closer to the pulp, or “nerve”, inside the tooth. Once you begin experiencing toothache or significant sensitivity, the decay may be more advanced and the nerve may already be affected.

At that point, treatment can become more involved and, depending on the tooth, may include root canal treatment or extraction rather than a straightforward filling.

That’s one of the biggest reasons preventative dental care matters.

Regular examinations and appropriate dental X-rays give us the opportunity to identify problems before they become painful and, where possible, treat them while they’re smaller and simpler.

No pain doesn’t always mean no problem.

If your teeth and gums are healthy, your routine recall will commonly be around six months.

But it isn’t one-size-fits-all.

If there’s something we need to keep a closer eye on, or your gums require more regular professional cleaning and maintenance, we may recommend seeing you every three or four months for a period of time.

Your dentist or Oral Health Therapist will recommend an interval based on what your mouth actually needs.

Dental check-ups and cleans in Broome →

Absolutely. And we’ve thought about this from the moment you walk through the door.

Our clinic was designed to feel less like a traditional dental practice. Treatment areas have been planned to help reduce some of the noises and smells people often associate with dentistry, while soft furnishings, warm timber, a calm colour palette and plenty of natural light help make the space feel a little less clinical.

Once you’re in the chair, there are TVs and noise-cancelling headphones to provide a distraction, and we’re always happy to explain what’s happening, answer questions and work at your pace. Blankets are available if you’d like one.

Beforehand, make yourself comfortable in reception with a cup of tea or chilled still or sparkling water.

And if you’re particularly anxious, tell us. Your dentist can discuss additional options that may be appropriate to help you feel more relaxed during treatment.

Yes.

If you have toothache, swelling, a broken or knocked-out tooth, a broken filling or crown, a broken denture or another dental problem that can’t wait, contact us and we’ll do our best to see you as soon as possible.

If swelling is affecting your breathing or swallowing, or you’ve had a serious injury to your face, call 000 or attend the hospital emergency department.

Help, My Tooth Hurts →

Book a Toothache Appointment or call us.

You don’t need to work out whether you need a filling, root canal or extraction before you arrive. That’s our job.

We’ll examine the area, take any necessary X-rays or 3D imaging and work out where the pain is coming from.

The first priority is getting you comfortable and understanding the problem. Then we can explain what can be done about it.

Not necessarily.

Teeth can hurt for plenty of reasons, from decay and cracks to gum problems, grinding, an issue with your bite or inflammation inside the tooth.

If the nerve inside a tooth has become irreversibly inflamed or infected, root canal treatment may be one option to try to save the tooth.

But we won’t know that until we assess it.

Toothache is a symptom. Root canal treatment is one possible treatment, not an automatic conclusion.

Root canal treatment is used to treat the inside of a tooth when the dental pulp, often referred to as the “nerve”, has become irreversibly inflamed, infected or has died.

The affected tissue is removed from inside the tooth, the root canals are carefully cleaned and disinfected, and the space is sealed.

The aim is to remove the source of infection or inflammation and, where appropriate, allow you to keep your natural tooth rather than removing it.

Root canal treatment is usually completed over more than one appointment, depending on the tooth and individual circumstances.

There isn’t one answer that applies to everyone.

If a tooth can be predictably restored and has a reasonable long-term outlook, root canal treatment may allow you to keep your natural tooth.

If the tooth is badly damaged, fractured, has insufficient remaining structure or has a poor prognosis for another reason, extraction may be the more appropriate option.

There are also practical considerations, including treatment complexity, time, cost and what you would like to do if the tooth is removed.

We’ll explain the options, the likely prognosis and the costs involved so you can make an informed decision.

Not always.

It depends on which tooth is being removed, your bite, the surrounding teeth and your individual circumstances.

If replacement is recommended or something you would like to consider, options may include a dental implant, bridge or removable denture.

Sometimes it is appropriate to leave the space.

We can talk about that before the tooth is removed, so you understand both the immediate treatment and what it might mean longer term.

Implants, bridges and dentures explained →

Yes, many wisdom teeth can be assessed and removed at DNTL Code.

Before recommending removal, we’ll assess the tooth, your symptoms and its position.

Where appropriate, our 3D CBCT allows us to assess the relationship between wisdom teeth and important structures such as the nerves in the lower jaw or the sinuses in the upper jaw before treatment.

Some wisdom teeth are more complex and are better managed by a specialist. If we believe referral is the safer or more appropriate option, we’ll tell you.

Being able to do something locally doesn’t mean we should do everything locally. The right care comes first.

Yes. And we’ve been doing it for a while.

We purchased our first intraoral scanner six years ago. Today, we have four.

An intraoral scanner creates a highly detailed digital model of your teeth, which can often be used instead of traditional impression material for things like crowns, aligners, retainers and other dental work.

Why four scanners? Because when technology genuinely improves the way we care for patients, we want it available across the clinic rather than being something everyone has to share.

Digital scans can improve efficiency and accuracy by reducing some of the variables that come with traditional impressions, including distortion during the impression process, transport and handling.

They also allow us to send your scan digitally to laboratories rather than putting an impression or model in the post.

If you’ve ever waited for something to make its way to or from Broome, you’ll understand why we like that part.

It can mean faster communication with our laboratories and less opportunity for an impression to be affected while travelling long distances, particularly in Broome’s heat.

There’s another benefit we really like: your scans can become part of your digital dental record. Where appropriate, we can compare scans taken at different points in time and see how your teeth and bite may have changed.

Sometimes the best way to understand change is to actually see it.

Because it’s much easier to explain what we’re talking about when you can see it too.

Our intraoral cameras allow us to take detailed photographs inside your mouth and show them to you on screen.

We can use these images to document what we see, monitor changes over time and help explain why we may be recommending treatment or simply keeping an eye on something.

They can also be useful when we’re collaborating with another dentist or specialist. Where clinically appropriate and with the necessary consent, images can be shared to help another practitioner understand what we’re seeing and contribute to your care.

Your mouth shouldn’t be a mystery just because you can’t see it yourself.

Yes.

DNTL Code has OPG, lateral cephalometric and 3D CBCT imaging available on site, including a large-field-of-view CBCT unit.

Our CBCT provides a three-dimensional view of areas that conventional dental X-rays cannot show in the same way.

Depending on the clinical situation, we may use CBCT imaging to assess the position of nerves and sinuses before wisdom tooth removal, evaluate the height and width of bone when planning dental implants, or investigate complex anatomy such as additional canals during difficult root canal treatment.

Having this imaging available in the clinic can also be particularly valuable when someone comes to us in pain. Where a CBCT is clinically indicated, we can obtain the information we need without automatically sending you elsewhere for imaging and, where appropriate and time allows, use it to help plan treatment that day.

One of the advantages of a larger field of view is that the scan can capture structures beyond the individual tooth or area we may initially be investigating.

Occasionally, that means something unrelated to the original reason for the scan is identified.

Where required, our CBCT imaging is referred for specialist radiological reporting. This provides an additional level of review, including assessment of structures outside the immediate area our dentist may have been investigating.

If something requiring further investigation is identified, we can explain the finding and arrange an appropriate referral or next step.

Sometimes good diagnostics are just as much about what you weren’t looking for.

AirFlow uses a controlled combination of air, warm water and fine powder to remove plaque biofilm and surface staining from the teeth.

For many patients, it can make parts of the professional cleaning process gentler and more comfortable while allowing us to thoroughly remove biofilm from around the teeth and gums.

Removing this biofilm is an important part of managing gum inflammation, particularly for patients who find effective cleaning more difficult because of reduced mobility, dexterity, orthodontic appliances or other individual circumstances.

Your clinician will still recommend the cleaning techniques appropriate for your teeth and gums.

Give us a call.

After a filling or restoration, occasionally a tooth can feel as though it’s contacting before the others, or you may notice that you’re biting more heavily on that tooth.

If something doesn’t feel right, don’t feel like you need to “put up with it.” We can assess your bite and adjust the restoration if required.

Yes.

If you or your child plays a contact sport, we can make a custom-fitted mouthguard using a digital scan of the teeth.

Unlike an off-the-shelf mouthguard, a custom mouthguard is made specifically for your mouth, which helps with fit, comfort and staying in place while you’re actually using it.

And because we can scan your teeth digitally, there’s no tray of impression material required.

If your child is still growing or their teeth are changing, we can also let you know when it may be time to check the fit or replace their mouthguard.

Protecting teeth is considerably easier than putting them back together.

If you play a sport where there’s a risk of impact to the mouth, speak with us or Dr Gavin.

A mouthguard can be particularly important during orthodontic treatment, but it needs to accommodate the braces and allow room for the teeth to move.

We can advise you on the most appropriate option for your stage of treatment.

Yes.

DNTL Code offers both take-home and in-chair teeth whitening, depending on what suits your teeth, lifestyle and preferences.

Before whitening, it’s important that we check your teeth and gums are healthy and identify things that may affect the result.

Fillings, crowns and veneers, for example, don’t whiten in the same way natural tooth structure does.

So before we make things brighter, we make sure we know what we’re working with.

Mostly, it comes down to where you whiten and how quickly you’d like to get there.

Take-home whitening uses custom-made trays and professional whitening product that you use at home according to the instructions provided by your dental team. It allows whitening to happen gradually and gives you more control over the process.

In-chair whitening is performed in the clinic using professional whitening products, allowing us to complete the initial whitening treatment in one appointment.

Neither option is automatically “better.”

The right choice depends on your teeth, sensitivity, existing dental work, the result you’re hoping for, how you’d prefer to whiten and how committed you are to your whitening.

We’ll talk you through both options and help you decide which makes the most sense for you.

It can.

Temporary sensitivity is a known side effect of teeth whitening and varies from person to person.

If you already have sensitive teeth, tell us before you start. We can assess what may be contributing to the sensitivity and discuss ways to make whitening more manageable, or whether whitening is appropriate for you at all.

Whiter teeth are nice. Comfortable teeth are important too.

It depends on your teeth, gums and bite, and on what you’d like to change.

Every person is different, and there are a few different ways to improve your smile, such as clear aligners or whitening. A consultation is the place to find out which options may suit you, along with their risks, limitations and costs.

No.

Here for your teeth? We’ll focus on your teeth.

Here for your skin? We’ll focus on your skin.

Having dental and skin care under the same roof gives you access to both if you want them. It doesn’t mean you’ll be pushed from one into the other.

Your chewing muscles can become enlarged or overworked for a number of reasons, including clenching or grinding.

Rather than jumping straight to a treatment, we’ll first look at what may be contributing to the problem and assess your teeth, bite, jaw and symptoms.

Depending on the cause and your individual circumstances, management may include monitoring, behavioural strategies, a dental splint or referral. In some clinically appropriate cases, a qualified practitioner may also discuss therapeutic medical treatment aimed at reducing activity in specific chewing muscles.

The right approach depends on why the muscles are working so hard in the first place.

Yes.

For 35 years, we were known as Broome Dental Clinic, making us the longest-standing dental practice in Broome.

Today, we’re DNTL Code and have a new home at the Broome Health & Wellness Centre.

The name and building have changed. Our connection to Broome hasn’t.

Yes.

DNTL Code is home to Dr Gavin Brown, Specialist Orthodontist, who lives and works here in Broome.

Having a permanent orthodontist locally means consultations, treatment planning and ongoing orthodontic appointments can happen here, across different days of the week, rather than your care being structured around an occasional visiting clinic.

An orthodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. After completing general dental training, orthodontists undergo several additional years of university study to specialise in how teeth and facial structures grow and move.

They’re the experts behind treatments like braces, clear aligners (such as Invisalign), early intervention for kids, and jaw development solutions — all designed to improve not just the look of your smile, but how your teeth function for life.

Yes.

We provide specialist orthodontic treatment for children, teenagers and adults, including braces and Invisalign® where clinically appropriate.

Which option is better depends on your teeth, bite, treatment goals and individual circumstances.

You don’t need to work that out before you arrive. That’s what the consultation is for.

Not necessarily.

They’re different tools, and each has advantages depending on what needs to be corrected.

Rather than choosing based on which one looks better online, Dr Gavin can assess your teeth and bite and explain which options are suitable for you.

Probably not.

Orthodontic treatment isn’t only for teenagers. Adults may choose orthodontic treatment to straighten teeth, improve their bite or address concerns they’ve had for years.

The first step is simply finding out what’s possible.

Not every child needs orthodontic treatment.

An earlier assessment can be useful if there are concerns about jaw development, bite, tooth position, crowding or how the adult teeth are erupting.

Sometimes early treatment is appropriate. Often it isn’t.

If treatment isn’t needed yet, Dr Gavin may simply monitor your child as their adult teeth continue to come through and recommend reassessment at the appropriate time.

An orthodontic assessment doesn’t automatically mean orthodontic treatment.

Some children benefit from orthodontic treatment in two separate stages.

Phase one happens while a child still has a mix of baby and adult teeth. This is sometimes called early-intervention orthodontics.

The aim isn’t necessarily to straighten every tooth at this age. Early treatment may be recommended when there’s an opportunity to address a developing bite, jaw relationship, lack of space or another problem that may be more appropriately managed while your child is still growing.

Then we wait.

Once more of the adult teeth have come through, your child can be assessed again to determine whether a second phase of orthodontic treatment is actually needed.

Some children will benefit from braces or aligners at that stage. Others may need less treatment than originally anticipated, and some may not require a second phase at all.

Early intervention doesn’t automatically mean two rounds of braces.

It means intervening at the right time when there is a clinical reason to do so, then reassessing as your child grows.

No.

Sometimes the best orthodontic treatment for a growing child is simply keeping an eye on things.

Dr Gavin will look at how your child’s teeth, bite and jaws are developing and whether there is a genuine benefit to intervening while they are still growing.

If there isn’t, we monitor.

An early orthodontic assessment is about identifying the children who may benefit from treatment now, while avoiding unnecessary treatment in those who don’t.

Persistent thumb or finger sucking can influence the way a child’s teeth and bite develop, particularly when the habit continues as the adult teeth begin to come through.

Depending on the frequency, duration and intensity of the habit, changes can occur in the position of the teeth and the relationship between the upper and lower jaws.

The good news? It’s something we can identify early.

If your child is finding it difficult to stop thumb or finger sucking, talk to us. Depending on their age, development and individual situation, we can discuss strategies to help break the habit and, where appropriate, Dr Gavin may recommend an orthodontic habit-breaking appliance.

The aim isn’t to make a child feel bad about the habit.

It’s to help them move away from it at the right time and, where possible, reduce its ongoing effect on developing teeth and jaws.

A thumb or finger-sucking appliance is an orthodontic device that may be recommended for some children when a persistent habit is affecting, or has the potential to affect, their developing teeth and bite.

It isn’t there as a punishment.

The appliance acts as a physical reminder and makes it more difficult for the habit to continue automatically, particularly during sleep when children may not realise they’re doing it.

Not every child who sucks their thumb needs an appliance. We’ll first look at their age, teeth, bite, growth and the nature of the habit before discussing whether any intervention is actually necessary.

It sounds considerably more intimidating than it is.

A maxillary palatal expander is an orthodontic appliance used to widen the upper jaw, or maxilla, in a growing child.

While a child is still developing, there can be an opportunity to guide the width of the upper jaw before growth is complete.

Dr Gavin may recommend expansion when the upper jaw is too narrow in relation to the lower jaw, there is a crossbite, insufficient space for developing adult teeth, or another orthodontic concern where increasing the width of the upper jaw may be beneficial.

The important part is timing.

Some orthodontic problems can be managed differently while a child is still growing than they can once growth is complete. That’s one of the reasons an early orthodontic assessment can be useful, even though treatment may not be required at that time.

If expansion is recommended, Dr Gavin will explain what he has identified, why he believes treatment may help, how the appliance works and what you and your child can expect.

And if your child doesn’t need one? We won’t recommend one.

Sometimes, but it can’t be promised.

Early intervention may allow us to address certain developing problems at a stage when a child is still growing. In appropriate cases, this may make later orthodontic treatment less complex or help create a better foundation for the adult teeth to erupt.

But early treatment doesn’t guarantee that braces or aligners won’t be needed later.

That’s why we assess, explain and monitor rather than treating every child according to the same formula.

The goal isn’t to start orthodontics as early as possible. It’s to start at the right time, if it’s needed at all.

Yes. Healthy foundations matter.

Before braces or aligners begin, we need to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy enough for orthodontic treatment.

If orthodontics has been on your mind but you’re not quite ready to book an orthodontic consultation, a comprehensive dental examination and clean is a very good place to start.

We can check your teeth and gums, address anything that needs attention and help get everything ready for the next step.

For orthodontic treatment provided through DNTL Code, your routine orthodontic care can be managed here in Broome.

That means less organising flights, accommodation, time away from school or work, and travel for routine appointments.

Orthodontic fees are generally based on the type and complexity of treatment required, and specialist orthodontic treatment tends to sit within relatively established fee ranges.

Being in Broome doesn’t mean orthodontic treatment should automatically cost more simply because you’re regional.

After your assessment, we’ll explain which options are suitable, your expected treatment time and the associated fees before you decide whether you’d like to proceed.

Payment options may also be available for eligible patients.

During your HydraFacial treatment, you'll experience a relaxing four-step process:

Deep Cleanse: The treatment starts with a thorough cleansing using a vortex water flow that removes makeup and impurities from the skin's surface.

Gentle Exfoliation: We gently exfoliate with a mild acid peel to remove dead skin cells, enhancing the skin's absorption of specialised serums.

Extraction: A suction tool delicately removes debris from the pores, improving the skin's clarity and texture.

Hydration: The session concludes with an infusion of serums rich in antioxidants, peptides, and hydrating ingredients to nourish and revitalise the skin.

HydraFacial is known for its safety and suitability for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Side effects are minimal and typically include slight redness or tightness immediately following the treatment, which usually subsides within an hour.

After your treatment, you can expect a noticeable improvement in skin hydration, texture, and overall glowing radiance.

We recommend regular monthly treatments to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation and manage conditions like acne by clearing pores and calming inflammation.

We recommend a skin consultation with our dermal therapist, who will assess your skin type and concerns and ensure you achieve optimal results.

We'll also recommend specific skincare products to prime your skin for the treatment and
maximise its benefits.

Post-care: Avoid using harsh products or exfoliants for 48 hours. We'll suggest gentle skincare products to maintain and enhance the results.

Follow-up: To achieve the best results, regular monthly treatments are recommended. We'll discuss a treatment plan tailored to your skin's needs.

Next steps: Our team will continue to monitor your skin's progress and adjust the treatment plan to help you maintain fresh, vibrant-looking skin.

Our HydraFacial treatment is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive, acne-prone, dry, or sun-damaged.

If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, we’ll customise the treatment for you.

During your initial consultation, our medical aesthetic team will help determine if this treatment is the best option for your skin's unique needs and goals.

First time with laser treatment? No worries! We prioritise your comfort and safety above all else.

Our friendly dermal therapists are here to guide you through the process, ensuring you feel informed and at ease every step of the way.

Thanks to the Neo's ultra-fast energy delivery, you'll feel minimal discomfort during your session. It's super quick and gentle, so you'll be in and out before you know it, usually within 30 to 45 minutes.

Plus, the Aerolase® LightPod Neo® is designed to effectively treat all skin types and skin colours, making it a standout choice compared to traditional lasers, which are limited to lighter skin tones.

After your treatment, you might notice some redness, but don't worry—it typically subsides within a few hours.

Unlike traditional lasers, the Aerolase® LightPod Neo® might make your pigmentation slightly darker after the treatment.

Don't worry, though—it won't flake off or come to the surface. Instead, your body’s immune system will gradually absorb it.

With each treatment, you'll move closer to achieving the clear, vibrant skin you desire.

You're just a few sessions away from seeing real, visible improvements in your skin.

Our patients love the results they see—smoother skin, fewer lines, and a more even complexion.

Aerolase LightPod Neo effectively minimises the visible signs of ageing, clears acne, and evens skin tone, delivering a refreshed and revitalised appearance.

It's all about bringing out the best in your skin! You can expect enhanced skin tone and texture, including smoother, clearer, and younger-looking skin.

For the best results, we recommend a minimum of four treatments followed by maintenance treatments every 6 - 9 months.

Here's how to get your skin ready for the best results.

Before your treatment, we'll discuss skincare options tailored to your needs to maximise results.

Avoid sun exposure and harsh skin treatments, such as chemical peels or aggressive exfoliants, a few days before your session.

Post care: After your session, it's a good idea to keep things simple. We'll advise you on the correct skincare to keep your skin calm and soothed on the days after your treatment. Always protect your skin with broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Follow-up: In the days after your treatment, we'll check in with you to see how everything's going and plan any follow-up treatments to keep your skin looking its best.

Next steps: For the best results, we recommend a minimum of four treatments followed by maintenance treatments every 6 - 9 months.

The Aerolase® LightPod Neo® is suitable for all skin types and skin colours.

This treatment is perfect if you have concerns with ageing, redness, pigmentation, acne or scars.

During your skin consultation with one of our friendly dermal therapists, we'll discuss your suitability, specific skin concerns and expected results.

Your comfort is our priority. During the treatment, you'll feel a light snap, like a small rubber band flicking against your skin, accompanied by a warm sensation. It's quick, and most of our clients handle it very well.

The session typically lasts 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Our experienced dermal therapist will ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible.

Most clients experience minimal side effects, including a mild redness or slight swelling in the treated area, similar to a sunburn.

These symptoms are typically temporary and subside within a few hours to a few days.

We'll provide you with all the guidance you need to handle these minor side effects comfortably.

You can look forward to clear, more even-toned and vibrant skin, which will gradually emerge over several sessions.

When treating pigmentation, you may experience what we call the "Milo Effect." After a CBL treatment, the treated spots get slightly darker and form a thin crust, similar to a light graze. This is normal as the darkened pigment is brought to the surface. As the skin heals, the pigment diminishes, leaving your skin clearer and more even.

While individual results vary, most of our clients notice significant improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall appearance after a few treatments.

A reduction in hair and the minimisation of skin imperfections is progressive, leading to lasting results.

Here's how to get your skin ready for the best results.

During your skin consultation, we'll recommend advanced skincare solutions for home use before your treatment to maximise your results.

Avoid sun exposure and harsh skin treatments, such as chemical peels or aggressive exfoliants, a few days before your session.

Post-care: After your treatment, we’ll recommend a skincare routine to ensure your skin remains hydrated and nourished.

Keep the area cool and moisturised.

Avoid sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect your rejuvenated skin.

Follow-up & next steps: We typically recommend a series of sessions to achieve the best results.

After completing your initial series, maintenance sessions might be needed once or twice a year to sustain your vibrant new look.

We'll assess your progress during your follow-up visits and adjust the treatment plan if necessary, ensuring you continue to enjoy your optimal results.

Frequency and Maintenance: We recommend starting with a series of 4 to 6 treatments about four weeks apart. This frequency allows your skin to respond to the therapy and regenerate between sessions.

Our treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns.

CBL is an excellent solution for age spots, unwanted hair, or uneven skin texture.

The best way to determine if this treatment is right for you is to schedule a skin consultation with our aesthetic team.

During your skin consultation, we'll discuss your skin concerns, review your medical history, and create a personalised treatment plan.

Your comfort and care are our top priorities. Upon arriving for your Secret RF Microneedling treatment, our dermal therapist will gently cleanse and prepare your skin. A soothing numbing cream will be applied to ensure a comfortable experience.

During the treatment, you may feel a mild tingling sensation or warmth, which most of our clients find perfectly tolerable.

Depending on the treatment area, you can expect the session to last between 20 to 40 minutes.

It's normal to see some redness and swelling, like a sunburn, immediately after the treatment.

These effects are typically mild and resolve within a few days.

While less common, minor bruising or pinpoint bleeding can occur but heals quickly

Following the aftercare instructions provided by your dermal therapist will help minimise any discomfort and ensure a smooth recovery.

Immediately after your treatment, you’ll experience a post-treatment glow. As the skin begins to heal, you’ll notice your skin texture and tone improve, becoming more visible within a few weeks.

What’s really exciting about RF Microneedling is the continued enhancements and optimal results you’ll notice up to six months after your treatment. As your skin continues to improve and natural collagen production is boosted, you'll have smoother skin with a softening in the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

Getting your skin ready for treatment is simple. Avoid harsh skincare products like concentrated retinoids and acids for about a week before your session.

Keep your skin hydrated and moisturised.

If you're prone to cold sores, please mention this during your initial skin consultation.

Post-Care: After your treatment, we'll discuss any post-care requirements and the proper skincare to nurture your skin during recovery. Avoid direct sunlight and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Limit makeup and strenuous activities for the first 24 hours to allow your skin to start the healing process without disturbance.

Follow-Up and Next Steps: During this visit, we can discuss the potential need for additional sessions and further personalise your treatment plan based on your initial results.

Frequency and Maintenance: For more significant changes, such as skin tightening and wrinkle reduction, we recommend 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

To continually stimulate collagen production, smooth the skin texture, and improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and scars, we recommend maintenance treatments every 6-9 months.

This regular schedule helps sustain the youthful and vibrant appearance achieved with your initial treatments.

Secret RF Microneedling is wonderfully effective for a wide range of skin types and concerns, especially if you want to improve skin firmness, texture, and tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

We recommend a skin consultation with our medical aesthetics team to discuss your suitability and ensure this treatment is perfect for you.

Please Note:

RF Microneedling isn't suitable for darker skin tones. For those clients, we recommend our SkinPen treatment.

This treatment is unsuitable for those with active skin infections, certain acne medications, or a tendency towards keloid scars.

Pregnant women should also postpone this treatment.

Yes. Breakouts don’t always stop after school.

Hormones, stress, oil production and bacteria can all play a part, at fifteen or forty-five.

At your skin assessment, we’ll look closely at your skin and talk about your routine, your health and what you’ve already tried, so we can understand what may be driving it before we suggest anything.

It starts with a skin assessment, not a treatment.

We’ll look at your skin, the kind of breakouts you’re getting and the products you use now, then talk through the options that may suit you. That might be treatment in the clinic, a skincare routine for home, or both.

Before anything starts, we’ll explain what’s involved, realistic expectations, potential risks, aftercare and costs. The decision stays with you.

It does.

What you do at home every day works alongside anything we do in the clinic. We’ll suggest a routine for your skin and explain why each step is there.

Not sure what to keep, what to stop or what you actually need? Bring your products to your assessment and we’ll go through them with you.

Sun exposure and melasma are two common causes.

UV exposure can lead to sunspots, freckles that darken and patches that are darker than the skin around them. Melasma is often linked to hormonal changes, such as pregnancy or some hormone medications, and the sun can make it more noticeable.

Different kinds of pigmentation can look alike, which is why we assess your skin before recommending anything.

Because not all pigmentation is the same, and the right approach depends on what’s causing it and on your skin.

At your skin assessment, we’ll look closely at the pigmentation, ask about your time in the sun, your health and your current products, and talk through the options that may suit you, including their risks, aftercare and costs.

Sometimes the most useful first step is a change to your daily routine rather than a treatment.

Very much so.

UV exposure is a common cause of pigmentation and can make melasma more noticeable, so protecting your skin every day is part of any plan we make together.

In Broome, that means a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, reapplied through the day, plus a hat, sunglasses and shade where you can.
