Acne & Skin Health Consultations
Evidence-based skin care begins with understanding your skin.
Whether you're navigating acne, persistent breakouts, pigmentation, rosacea or other ongoing skin concerns, your consultation is designed to understand the underlying contributors before any plan is discussed.
Why Savu Studio
Skin concerns are rarely just skin deep - they can affect confidence, comfort and day-to-day life. At Savu Studio, your consultation starts with understanding why, not just what.
Every consultation is led by Nurse Practitioner Simon Henning, combining clinical assessment with an evidence-based, unhurried approach. There's no pressure to proceed with anything on the day - the goal of your first visit is clarity, not a sale.

Your Consultation
Your Initial Skin Consultation includes a full clinical assessment and a VISIA Scan - advanced AI-powered skin imaging that helps build a genuinely personalised, evidence-based plan.
During your consultation, we may explore:
Your medical history
Current skincare routine
Lifestyle and hormonal factors
Previous treatments
Clinical skin assessment
Personalised management options
Where clinically appropriate, your plan may include skincare guidance, prescription or compounded skincare, procedural options, or referral — always determined after assessment, never before it.
Consultation fee: $110 (includes a $50 credit toward treatment or skincare purchased in clinic).
Some patients may be eligible for a Medicare rebate for certain consultations at Savu Studio. Please note that eligibility varies and is confirmed at the time of your appointment. Your Nurse Practitioner is happy to discuss this with you.
Why see a Nurse Practitioner?
As an endorsed Nurse Practitioner, Simon is qualified to assess, diagnose and manage a wide range of common skin conditions - bringing the same clinical rigour used in emergency and primary care to skin health.
Your consultation is about understanding the cause of your concerns first. The plan comes after, not before.
