What is a Nurse Practitioner?
A Nurse Practitioner is a Registered Nurse with additional qualifications (Masters Degree), experience and expertise to independently diagnose, prescribe medications and manage health conditions within their scope of practice.
Nurse practitioners may practice autonomously or collaboratively with other health professionals.
Practice as a Nurse Practitioner requires endorsement by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia.
OUR TEAM
Every aesthetic medicine treatment at North Coast Medispa is delivered by a Registered or Enrolled Nurse. Every skin treatment is delivered by a qualified Dermal Therapist. Whoever you see, you're in properly trained, properly credentialed hands.
OUR STORY
What started with Kerry Lynch's passion for skin health and aesthetic medicine in 2014 has grown into a full-time, experienced team of Nurses and Dermal Therapists across the Northern Rivers.
We've watched the industry change over more than a decade - new treatments, new trends, more information about skin than ever before. What hasn't changed is what we believe good care should look like: you should feel listened to, you should feel comfortable asking questions, and you should be able to trust that our advice is based on what's right for your skin, not what we can sell you.
WHY CHOOSE US?
Experience you can trust
We've been caring for skin in the Northern Rivers since 2014. Our team brings years of experience across nursing, dermal therapy and aesthetics, with ongoing education to keep our clinical knowledge current.
Our clients tell us they appreciate feeling listened to, never rushed and never judged. We take the time to explain things clearly and make sure you feel comfortable with your decisions.
CARE THAT FEELS PERSONAL
Clinical care, close to home
We're proud to have been part of the Northern Rivers community for more than a decade. Our team is here full time, so your care isn't handed between practitioners or built around someone else's schedule.
Healthy skin doesn't happen overnight. We look at the bigger picture and create a considered approach that can evolve as your skin changes.
A plan, not a quick fix
FAQ’s
-
Absolutely. You don't need to know the name of a treatment before you book.
We'll start by understanding your skin, your concerns, your history and what you'd like to achieve. From there, we'll recommend the options we believe are appropriate for you.
-
For many treatments, an assessment or consultation is the best place to start, particularly if you're new to NCM or unsure what is right for your skin.
Some treatments require a consultation before proceeding. We'll let you know what is needed when you book.
-
Yes. Our initial skin consultations are complimentary and there is no obligation to proceed with treatment or purchase products.
The purpose is to give you the opportunity to understand your skin, ask questions and make an informed decision.
-
NCM has a team of experienced nurses and dermal therapists.
The practitioner you see will depend on your concerns and the treatment you're considering.
If you're unsure who you should book with, our team can point you in the right direction.
-
You don't have to work this out yourself.
Tell us what you're concerned about when you book and we'll help you choose the right starting point.
-
Yes. Acne is one of the skin concerns we work with. Your practitioner will assess your skin, discuss your history and current skincare routine, then recommend an appropriate approach.
Depending on your circumstances, we may also recommend that you see your GP or another medical professional.
-
Yes. We offer a range of treatments that may be appropriate for concerns such as pigmentation, uneven skin tone and sun damage.
The right approach depends on your skin and the type of pigmentation you're experiencing, so we'll assess this before recommending treatment.
-
You're not alone. One of the most useful things you can bring to a consultation is an honest history of what you've already tried.
We'll look at what you've been using, what you've had done and how your skin has responded before recommending where to go next.
-
Yes.
We don't believe in treating for the sake of treating. If we think your skin would benefit more from a different approach, a period of preparation or simply doing less, we'll tell you.
-
Potentially, but it depends on your skin, your treatment history and what is clinically appropriate. Sometimes combining treatments can form part of a broader plan, while in other situations spacing treatments apart is the better approach.
-
This depends entirely on the treatment, your skin and what you're hoping to address.
Some changes may be noticeable relatively quickly, while others require a series of treatments and consistent home care. We'll talk you through realistic expectations before you begin.
-
Some do and some don't. Downtime can vary depending on the treatment and how your individual skin responds. We'll explain what to expect, including any redness, swelling, peeling or sensitivity, before you decide to proceed.
-
Absolutely. Bring your current products with you to your consultation if you're unsure about what you're using. We'll look at your existing routine and work out whether anything needs to change.
-
We'll tell you.
Your safety and wellbeing come first. If a treatment isn't appropriate for you, we may recommend an alternative approach or refer you to another healthcare professional when needed.
-
No. Your consultation is an opportunity to understand your options. We'll give you the information you need to make a decision without pressure.
-
There's no universal schedule. Your treatment frequency will depend on your skin, the treatment being performed and your goals. We'll recommend a plan based on your individual circumstances and review it as your skin changes.
-
This depends on what you're having done. When you book, we'll let you know if there are any specific preparation requirements. It's also important to tell us about relevant medications, medical conditions, recent treatments and any changes to your health before your appointment.
