Ethical communication
We don’t promote medical products or treatments.
As a medically led clinic, we follow strict TGA/AHPRA guidelines. This means we’re unable to promote prescription-only skin treatments or name such products online.
However, we’re always happy to discuss your goals, assess your suitability, and explain these options at your consultation. We’ll provide clear information on pricing, expectations, alternatives, and risks.
Frequently Asked Questions.
Honest answers to the questions clients most often arrive with.
Do I need to know what treatment I want before I book?
Not at all. Most clients come to us with a concern or a feeling — not a treatment in mind. That’s exactly what the consultation is for. We take the time to understand your skin, your goals and your lifestyle before suggesting anything. There’s no expectation that you arrive with answers.
What happens at a consultation - is there any pressure to commit?
None. A consultation at Bonsai is a conversation, not a sales pitch. We’ll listen, assess your skin in detail and walk you through your options honestly — including risks, realistic expectations and what’s involved. If you’d like time to think, that’s completely fine. The decision is yours, always.
How much do treatments cost?
Pricing varies depending on the treatment and what your skin needs. We believe in complete transparency around cost — you’ll receive a clear breakdown before any commitment is made. The best starting point is a complimentary consultation, where we can give you an accurate guide based on your goals.
Why don’t you list your injectable treatments online?
As a medically led clinic, we follow strict guidelines set by the TGA and AHPRA. These regulations prevent us from advertising or naming prescription-only treatments in a public setting. It’s not about secrecy — it’s about making sure decisions like these happen in the right context, with a qualified clinician, not through a marketing page. We’re happy to talk through everything at your consultation.
What does “evidence-based” actually mean in practice?
It means every treatment we offer is backed by clinical research — not trend cycles or social media. We choose our treatments, products and protocols based on what the evidence supports, and we explain the rationale behind every recommendation. You’ll never receive a treatment simply because it’s popular.
I’ve had a bad experience at a clinic before — how is Bonsai different?
We hear this more than you might expect. Our approach is built around exactly the opposite of what tends to go wrong elsewhere — rushed consultations, pressure to commit, or treatments that weren’t right for the person receiving them. At Bonsai, nothing happens without your full understanding and genuine consent. If something isn’t the right fit for you, we’ll say so.
