Welcome & Skin Consultations * Welcome & Skin Consultations
Professional skin guidance should make it easier to understand what your skin needs and what to do next.
At Sibu Skin and Beauty, consultations are designed to help us assess your skin, understand your concerns and recommend the most appropriate treatment pathway rather than simply matching you to a treatment name.
Depending on what you need, you can choose a consultation-only appointment, combine consultation with treatment, or book a treatment-specific consultation where suitability, safety or treatment planning needs to be assessed before proceeding.
Where Should I Start?
Sibu Ritual Facial – Welcome Treatment
Best for: New skin clients who would like professional guidance and treatment in the same appointment.
Your Welcome Treatment begins with a thorough consultation and skin assessment so we can understand your concerns, current routine, treatment history and goals.
Your therapist then selects and performs a personalised facial treatment based on what your skin needs on the day.
You will leave with a clearer understanding of your skin, professional homecare guidance and recommendations for what to do next.
Skin Consultation
Best for: Clients who want professional skin advice and a treatment plan without having a skin treatment on the day.
A Skin Consultation gives us time to assess your skin, discuss your concerns and priorities, review relevant treatment and homecare history and determine which options are most appropriate for you.
This can be particularly useful if:
you are unsure what is actually causing your skin concern
you are deciding between several treatments
your skin has changed and your current routine no longer seems to be working
you are considering a longer-term corrective treatment plan
you would like professional guidance before investing in treatments or homecare
Treatment Specific Consultations
Some treatments require a more specific consultation because suitability, safety or treatment planning needs to be assessed before proceeding.
IPL Hair Removal Consultation
For clients considering IPL Hair Removal.
Your consultation allows us to assess suitability, relevant medical history, medications, skin and hair characteristics, treatment area and any preparation or testing required before treatment.
IPL Skin Treatment Consultation
For clients considering IPL Skin Rejuvenation.
Your consultation allows us to assess your skin concern, suitability for IPL, relevant contraindications, medications, treatment history and any preparation or testing required before treatment.
MelanoPro Pigmentation Peel Consultation
MelanoPro Pigmentation Peel Consultation
For clients considering the MelanoPro Pigmentation Peel.
This consultation allows us to assess pigmentation, skin condition, suitability, treatment preparation, homecare requirements and whether MelanoPro is appropriate for your skin and goals.
Tattoo Removal Consultation
For clients considering laser tattoo removal.
Your consultation allows us to assess the tattoo, skin, relevant medical history and factors that may influence treatment planning, expected response and suitability.
What Happens During a Skin Consultation?
Your consultation is designed to give us enough information to make considered recommendations rather than simply matching you to a treatment name.
Depending on the reason for your appointment, we may discuss:
your main skin concerns and what you would most like to improve
your current skincare routine
previous professional treatments
relevant medical history, medications and contraindications
your skin’s current condition and tolerance
lifestyle factors that may influence your skin
treatments you are interested in
your priorities, expectations and preferred treatment approach
Your therapist will then explain the options that are most appropriate for you and recommend a practical next step.
What Will I Leave With?
The purpose of a consultation is clarity.
Where appropriate, you will leave with:
a better understanding of your skin and primary concerns
recommended professional treatment options
an indication of treatment frequency or programme structure
homecare recommendations relevant to your skin
advice about preparation, testing or contraindications where required
a clear recommendation for what to book next
You are not expected to understand every treatment before arriving. Guiding you through those choices is part of our role.
Before Your Consultation
To help us make the most of your appointment:
complete any consultation forms sent to you before attending
bring or photograph the skincare products you currently use if you are unsure of their names
let us know about prescription skincare, medications, supplements or recent changes to your health
tell us about recent professional treatments, cosmetic procedures or skin reactions
avoid deliberately changing your entire skincare routine immediately before your consultation unless medically required
come prepared to tell us what is bothering you most about your skin and what you would realistically like to improve
For IPL, MelanoPro and other treatment-specific consultations, please also follow any preparation instructions provided when booking.
What Happens Next?
There is no single treatment pathway that suits every skin.
Your recommendations may involve:
a personalised Signature treatment
HydraFacial
Skin Needling
IPL Skin Rejuvenation
RF Skin Tightening
HIFU Skin Tightening
professional resurfacing or peel treatments
LED Light Therapy
changes to your homecare
a combination of treatments over time
The recommendation will depend on your skin and objectives rather than simply the treatment you initially thought you needed.
For clients working towards longer-term skin improvement, we may recommend a staged treatment plan rather than trying to address everything in one appointment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know which treatment to book?
1
No.
If you are new to Sibu and would like both guidance and a treatment, start with the Sibu Ritual Facial – Welcome Treatment.
If you want advice before having treatment, book a Skin Consultation.
If you are considering IPL Hair Removal, IPL Skin Rejuvenation, Tattoo Removal or MelanoPro, select the relevant treatment-specific consultation.
What is the difference between the Welcome Treatment and a Skin Consultation?
2
The Welcome Treatment combines consultation, skin assessment and a personalised facial treatment in the same appointment.
The Skin Consultation is focused on assessment, education and treatment planning without a facial treatment being included.
Can I have a treatment on the same day?
3
Yes, if you book the Sibu Ritual Facial – Welcome Treatment, as treatment is included in that appointment.
A consultation-only appointment is primarily for assessment and planning. Treatments requiring consultation, testing or preparation may need to be booked for a later date.
Which treatments require a specific consultation?
4
Dedicated consultation appointments are available for:
IPL Hair Removal
IPL Skin Rejuvenation
Tattoo Removal
MelanoPro Pigmentation Peel
The appropriate consultation should be completed before beginning these treatment pathways where required.
Can I book a consultation even if I have been to Sibu before?
5
Yes.
A new consultation can be useful whenever your skin, health, priorities or treatment goals have changed, or if you would like to reassess your current treatment plan.
What if I am interested in a particular treatment but I am not sure it is right for me?
6
You can tell us what you are interested in during your consultation.
Your therapist will explain whether it is appropriate for your skin and goals and, if not, recommend a more suitable alternative.
