A NOTE ON NURSE PRACTITIONERS
A Nurse Practitioner can be described as a ‘hybrid' between a nurse and a doctor. The role exists as a means to fill the gaps between nursing and medicine. NPs are highly experienced in their clinical specialty, and are masters educated. They can perform advanced health assessments, make diagnoses, and prescribe medications.
So what does this mean for you?
When you visit Kelly, you get all of the care and one-to-one treatment that is associated with nursing, but you will also reap the benefits of a strong medical focus. Kelly is able to not only prescribe your treatments, but can also manage any (rare!) complications, and can support you along your cosmetic journey from beginning to end.

FAQs
Will I look fake?
Kelly’s aim is to always provide natural results. She strives to enhance her patient’s natural beauty, and to create a 'fresh' look, as opposed to a 'fake' one.
Unnatural outcomes usually result from high volumes of filler, combined with a poor injecting technique. Kelly will always work with you to achieve your individual aesthetic goals, and will never over-prescribe. And with over 12 years of experience as a Nurse Practitioner, you are in safe hands.
​
Will I be frozen?
​
Kelly will always take the time to discuss your aesthetic goals with you. Many patients are very apprehensive at the prospect of being completely frozen. Kelly’s aim is to provide you with the specific treatment outcomes that you are seeking. We are sure that you will love work as much as we do.
​
Will it hurt?
​
The majority of treatments involve injections, so there is some mild discomfort. A local anaesthetic or a topical cream can be used for some treatments.
Is there down time?
Line and Wrinkle treatments generally do not have any downtime.
Volume, Structure and Definition treatments are associated with swelling and sometimes bruising, so a few days of down time is possible. The amount of down time varies between individuals.
How long do results last?
Results will vary according to the individual, but as a guideline, line and wrinkle treatments will usually last 3-4 months.
Volume, Structure and Definition results are dependent on the area being treated and the product used. There are also some patient factors that will impact the duration of the treatment. Results can last between 3 and 12 months.
Why do prices vary so widely between clinics?
​
Prices vary due to multiple factors.
Some clinics are staffed with junior nurses with little to no experience or qualifications.
Kelly prides herself on providing the safest, most up to date techniques. She is an advocate for continuous professional development, and regularly attends conferences, workshops and training events.
She also employs the support of a medical mentor – a leading cosmetic physician.
All products used by Duchess Aesthetics are TGA approved, purchased directly from the supplier. This means that all our beautiful patients can be assured that they are receiving the safest possible treatment, using genuine products.
Kelly approaches each patient individually, and does not offer ‘cookie cutter’ treatment packages. This means that pricing will vary according to the individual. You can book in for a free, no obligation consultation here to discuss your aesthetic goals and receive a personalised quote.
