We're sorry you've been having trouble finding a time to suit your schedule—but we're here to help. Join our waitlist form here and a team member will be in touch to confirm your options.
All of our facial treatments are suitable for pregnancy and breastfeeding, and we are able to accommodate adjustments for the treatment bed set-up to help make your experience even more comfortable. During this life stage, however, we do always recommend that you speak with your medical practitioner, should you have any questions or concerns.
All of our facial treatments are suitable for this life stage (including peri- and post-menopause); however, we find that clients experiencing hormonal skin changes often benefit most from The EpiNova Facial, as each step can be customised to suit your unique skin needs. Alternatively, our Signature Consultation is a wonderful way to better understand your skin’s evolving needs and explore the products best suited to you. This includes a 30-minute introductory treatment. During this life stage, we always recommend consulting your medical practitioner if you have any questions or concerns.
The EpiNova Facial or The Express EpiNova Facial are both ideal options for addressing concerns of fine lines and wrinkles.
The Restorative Calming Facial, The PhotoGenic Facial, The EpiNova Facial or The Express EpiNova Facial are all wonderful options for addressing concerns of dryness and dehydration.
The Multi-Vitamin Brightening Facial is our recommended treatment for addressing concerns of pigmentation, with The Express EpiNova Facial being a wonderful, time-conscious alternative.
Our signature treatment, The PhotoGenic Facial and The Express EpiNova Facial are both great options for targeting blemishes and congestion.
We recommend either The CryoGenic Cooling Facial or The Restorative Calming Facial for targeting visible signs of redness, irritation or sensitivity.
Yes, The Restorative Calming Facial is an exclusively hands-on treatment experience that does not employ modalities. It is ideal for those clients seeking a sense of calm and relaxation.
We advise arriving 5-10mins before your appointment in order to meet with your therapist and complete your consent form ahead of your scheduled start time.
For any procedures involving wrinkle-relaxing injections or dermal fillers, we are unable to perform facial treatments within two weeks following your appointment. This is to ensure your results are not compromised. Please keep this in mind when booking to avoid disappointment.
Depending on the type of laser used, we may be unable to perform any facial treatments within three months of your procedure. For non-fractional ablative CO₂ or Er:YAG lasers, we require clearance with written consent from your medical practitioner to ensure your results are not compromised. Please keep this in mind when booking to avoid disappointment. The Express Light Therapy Facial is a 45-minute treatment that utilises Healite II to promote cellular recovery and reduce inflammation. Depending on your skin journey, this facial can be a great option to support the skin and bridge the gap between treatments.
We do require 24 hours’ notice for cancellation of your appointment. Please advise the Flagship by phone or email within this timeframe as a courtesy. This is to help support our teams – and allow any waitlisted clients to utilise a last-minute availability
A considered consultation is the most valuable place to begin your journey with RATIONALE. Skin is uniquely personal, shaped by genetics, environment, hormonal influence, lifestyle, and the accumulation of solar and environmental damage over time.
No two complexions respond identically, and no two rituals should be identical either. Our consultations exist to bring the expertise of our team members and the precision of our formulations into alignment with the singular focus of supporting your unique skin needs and goals.
Each consultation is led by a trained RATIONALE Skin Therapist whose understanding of our full formulation range, an individualised Essential Six ritual, and the science that underpins our laboratory enables them to identify the formulations and the daily practice that will most effectively support your skin goals. Whether you are new to RATIONALE, returning to finesse your ritual, or seeking expert guidance on a specific skin goal, there is a consultation format suited to where you are in your journey.
We offer a range of consultations designed for every client. Our Signature Consultation is delivered in Flagship, offering an in-depth, sensorial assessment, including UV diagnostic imaging and mini treatment, paired with a personalised ritual recommendation. For those unable to attend a Flagship location in person, our Virtual Consultation extends the same considered guidance through one-on-one video sessions with an expert RATIONALE team member. For an even more in-depth approach, we offer the two-phase Platinum Consultation which builds upon the Signature experience to
incorporate genetic analysis (obtained via buccal swab) to build a ritual that addresses your genetic strengths and weaknesses.
For an introductory step, take our Skin Questionnaire — a self-guided assessment that recommends formulations from the full RATIONALE range based on your unique skin profile.
