FAQs
Questions
Dr Mel sees you for the consultation and does every treatment herself.
The consultation fee and guideline treatment prices are on our pricing page, and Dr Mel confirms the price of your plan before you agree to anything.
No. You're welcome to go home and think it over, and book treatment later. If you go ahead on the day, you pay the consultation fee and the treatment price.
Dr Mel plans treatment around your face as it is and would rather add a little at your review appointment than use too much on the day.
Whichever is closer. Somerset West is at 1 Morkel Street. Bellville is a private treatment room at Welgedacht Estate.
