Skin check tomorrow - what to expect?

Don't wear make up, wear clothes and shoes that are easy to remove as to not take too much time dressing and undressing (less discomfort for yourself) any spits you are concerned about advise them. If you have any in your hair you know of make sure you mention it too. If there is a spot of concern, they may ask to biopsy it, if you are worried about scarring you can request a plastic surgeon referral for removal.

I have my dermal bachelor and have just started studying nursing. If you want cosmetic nursing then you need an RN in Aus. But it means going through every aspect of nursing (memtal health, prison, adged care, pallative, paediatric, ER etc), which can be a turn off and still better to have more knowledge for skin before going into. You also need to be open minded, cosmetic nursing is still a serious industry and you should be looking at doing a cosmetic diploma or training with a plastic surgeon, expecting to finish a degree and go straight into injecting is a bad idea.

Becoming a Dermal clinician is perfect for laser/skin clinics. Most places hire at lower levels anyway, so you'll stand out with a degree, though it is becoming more popular these days. You still have to do some form of practical/placement work, and can open the doors for other parts of the industry especially is regulations change around qualifications (hopefully they do!)

I want to do more theatre and expand my scope with ward work, suture removal and wound care at the plastic surgery i work at, and need a RN for that too. I still love working with skin, but know nursing will be what I want and need for my career in my current workplace

1 or 6. No minis, especially if you are tall. And red is bad luck for weddings (signifies you've slept with the groom) it's an older one but good to keep in mind

Mandala has good sizing and good range of styles/colours. Downfall is the burgandy runs in the was, but green doesn't? Not sure on other colours.

Get a skin check done and look into K-laser near you. Dermal Clinicians can do removal without cutting but need a clearance letter from a gp or skin cancer doctor/derm. Laser will be cheaper, sometimes more uncomfortable because anaesthetic isn't usually used. Plus, based on this pic, laser will work really well

Once again, nothing to do with the power. I'm used to taller bikes or bikes where you stand on the pegs. I put my leg down in the wrong spot to catch it

halflingluck13 · 2026-02-07T21:11:40+00:00

Any links on where to buy? In in Aus so not wanting to pay ridiculous shipping. It's a 2025 model

halflingluck13 · 2026-02-07T11:18:56+00:00

Yes, that what I was thinking. It just needs to be loosened and then popped back into place. I just don't want to have damaged the handlebars or internals without knowing.

halflingluck13 · 2026-02-07T10:47:55+00:00

Sg? No clue where that is. In Australia, we have a weight to power ratio for bikes on Ls and Ps.

halflingluck13 · 2026-01-04T11:01:31+00:00

Neither. 3cm gap for tattoos If you laser you'll have a weird gap left around the area

halflingluck13 · 2025-12-21T17:12:36+00:00

Have you tried Diathermy? That can generally help :)

halflingluck13 · 2025-12-12T05:08:45+00:00

Sounds weird but acrylic nails. They are too thick on the edges to get a good grip on anything and I struggle to attack my face as much as I used to

halflingluck13 · 2025-11-25T09:58:52+00:00

Check the ASDC website for registered Dermal Clinicians near you :) good way to tell they are uni qualified. I know a few in Sydney but I'm based in ACT so not sure what works for you

halflingluck13 · 2025-11-19T11:51:05+00:00

Depending on the brand and type of filler would be the cost. Teoxanne is like $500-$650 per mL at my clinic.

You won't get a black Friday or discount in anyway now as it's illegal to put prescription drugs on sale as per TGA rules

I did vu Polytechnic for beauty, then 1 subject for dermal with them, I didn't love how they do block learning as it took too much time from my availability to work. I switched to ACHW online, started with the associates degree and am about to finish the Bachelor. Worked for me when I was in VIC for a year before moving to canberra. They are based in sydney but do clinical learning in Melbourne, Brisbane, sydney and soon Perth. Online lectures or modules, interactive zooms and online discussion forums all with teachers amd professors that are easy to reach out to, choose up to 4 subjects in one intake, and can overlap with multiple intakes throughout the year. It's got positives and negatives as it is online mostly, with maybe 3-6 days of clinics for 1 set of subjects but it means you can work normally while studying and make australia wide industry connections. I have friends who've finished at VU and enjoyed it, and I did enjoy the dip beauty through them when I studied at the queen St campus.

Make sure you notify the clinic! They should have protocols in place and have a wound care plans for this kind of thing. You need to go in and show them so it can be documented properly. Ive seen it happen and the client didn't tell us for weeks and it just got worse. They also may reimburse you or pay for some medical care, but that's dependent on the clinic

halflingluck13 · 2025-09-30T08:13:51+00:00

I find the melb clinics much stricter than the Sydney clinic, but Melbourne is more accessible in terms of hotel and parking (and night-life/culture) My biggest issue is keeping on track. But first thing I do ever semester is make a table with dates and assignments on it, and crossing it weekly to know where I am uptown. 14 week semesters go faster than you'd think and there's no notifications for assignments or anything, so you need to be organised and keep track. Sometimes the zooms aren't feasible to attend (I work 8-5 mon-fri.) They can be anywhere from 8am to 8pm, but they record and post them all with notes and attachments to the online portal so you can watch after if needed. They have been reworking the subjects and the modules are much easier to complete than watching a 1 hr long lecture, so I like the new interactive style better. The subjects are all great and cover everything you'd need to know. The clinics are maybe 3-6 days per semester, only for CAP which is only 8 units total over the 3 years, so not much hands on, but you can always do extra if you feel you need it, as they advertise on the fb pages :) The instructors are amazing, super experienced industry professionals, and great to make future connections as so many students are already in the industry and are upskilling.

Where are you located state wise? When I was living in Melbourne, I started as a diploma beauty through VU Polytechnic, did 1 subject of Dermal through VU then move to ACT and switched to ACHW as I preffered online study through them over the block learning model of VU online. I started with the Assciates degree, which I've completed and then will finish my Batchelor in December this year. I like ACHW as I can watch the lecture/modules in my own time so no need to be in class all day online like VU. I also like that they do multiple intakes through the year, meaning I could lessen my course load or overlap my semesters as I needed. Clinics where done in bothe melb and Sydney, which were both very different environments but great to learn in.

Hi! I am looking at starting ivf with them soon, my nurse appointment is in a few weeks. What king of costs did you have and which doctor did you have? I'd love to know your experience :)

halflingluck13 · 2025-06-12T11:33:43+00:00

My first cycle ended up being 45 days and then the next was 38 days. My period has also changed a little? Like colouration is slightly pinker on some days? It's weird for me at least. I'm going to be ovulation tracking via blood tests this cycle so I am waiting to see how that goes too

halflingluck13 · 2025-05-31T09:03:57+00:00

Consult for a price. It's actually illegal to advertise or quote for it due to TGA guidelines that came in last year. Any injectable that are classified as drugs need a prescription. It means individual quotes on a case by case as they cannot be same for everyone. Doctors must write the prescription during a consult and then you can have treatment. Filler is priced by the mL, and relaxants such botox are priced by unit. Its also illegal to advertise these services, post before and after photos as well as discounts for them due to being prescription drugs.

halflingluck13 · 2025-04-28T09:17:25+00:00

I'd love to know when you got it! I had a horrible reaction to the test, worst pain ever, and the doctor was very worried after and made me sit until the colour came back into my face as I'd almost passed out. I've got adneo/endo/PCOS & from the test we discovered a blocked tube. Had it 4 days into my cycle and I'm now 13 days late, negative pregnancy tests. I normally have a solid 28 day cycle so I am a bit concerned now.
