Does Any of This Sound Like You?

If two of these land, you are exactly who the Skin Discovery Session was built for.

  • 01

    You look in the mirror and something has shifted — new lines, uneven tone, a dullness that wasn't there two years ago. You don't know exactly what changed, and that uncertainty is exhausting.

  • 02

    You've spent real money trying to fix it. Serums, clinic visits, trending treatments. Your skin still isn't where you want it, and you're wondering if you've been throwing money at the wrong things.

  • 03

    You've sat through consultations that felt like a sales pitch. Four minutes of looking, three treatments they happened to offer, and a receipt with no real answers.

  • 04

    You're not chasing perfection or interested in looking frozen. You want to look like yourself — rested, clear, confident. People should wonder what you're doing differently, not what you've had done.

  • 05

    Some part of you wonders if this is just what skin looks like in your 40s or 50s. It isn't. You just haven't had the right information yet.

What we treat

The concerns we see every day.

Six of the most common reasons women come to FaceLove. Your session will reveal exactly which of these are driving your skin, and which aren’t.

Skin Laxity and Firmness

Skin Laxity and Firmness

Loss of structure, softening jawline, skin that no longer bounces back the way it used to. We assess depth and address the cause, not just the surface.

Pigmentation and Uneven Tone

Pigmentation and Uneven Tone

Sun damage, melasma, post-inflammatory marks. Imaging reveals what’s sitting beneath the surface so the plan actually targets the right layer.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Etched lines around the eyes, mouth and forehead. We treat skin quality first so any future work looks natural, not stretched or frozen.

Breakouts and Adult Acne

Breakouts and Adult Acne

Hormonal flare-ups, congestion, recurring breakouts that wipe out your confidence. Evidence-based protocols that calm without stripping.

Texture and Scarring

Texture and Scarring

Rough patches, old acne scars, pores you feel you can see from across the room. A staged plan that rebuilds smoothness over twelve weeks.

Tired and Dull Skin

Tired and Dull Skin

Greyness, flatness, that washed-out look no amount of sleep seems to fix. We restore radiance through barrier, hydration and cellular turnover.

Meet The Founder

Mike Clague

Aesthetic Nurse BSc EN (Monash Anatomy Major)

Type of Registration, Nursing and Midwifery, No. NMW0001618803

Who you’re working with

Eighteen years. 40,000 treatments.

I’m Mike Clague, Aesthetic Nurse, BSc Anatomy (Monash University), and founder of FaceLove. Before opening this clinic I spent six years inside Allergan, the makers of anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers, being trained directly by some of the most respected injectors in the world, including Dr Mauricio De Maio, Dr Jean and Dr Alastair Carruthers, Dr Steven Liew, and Professor Greg Goodman.

I then managed Allergan’s entire training programme across Australia and New Zealand, trained over 4,000 doctors and nurses across the USA, Australia, Asia, and the Pacific, and performed more than 40,000 treatments across 18 years, including at Professor Greg Goodman AM’s Dermatology Institute of Victoria.

I’m published in 7 peer-reviewed medical journals. My most cited paper, co-authored with 21 expert plastic surgeons and dermatologists, focused on filler safety and avoiding complications. None of those credentials matter to you unless they translate into a better, safer, more natural result. They do.

"Beauty is not in the eye of the beholder. It is in the eye of your clinician."

Why we’re different

We don’t guess.
We look.

Most clinics glance at your skin and recommend a treatment they happen to offer. We use clinical-grade imaging technology, the same standard used by leading dermatology practices, to see exactly what your eyes cannot.

Early pigment forming under the surface. The true cause of your redness. Hidden congestion. Compromised barrier function. The actual structure of your skin, not a guess about it.

You’ll see your own skin on the screen. You’ll finally understand it. Only then will we talk about what to do next, and only then will that conversation be worth having.

About the investment

$100 is the last money you’ll waste on your skin.

Think about what’s already on your bathroom shelf. The serum someone swore by. The treatment your colleague had. The peel you booked once and never followed through. That money’s gone because nobody looked first.

✕ Average annual spend on products that don’t work$1,200+
✕ A single dermatologist consultation$199
✕ Standard imaging + consult + facial (no plan)$199
✦ The Skin Discovery Session (fully redeemable)$100

For $100, fully redeemable against your first treatment or product, you find out exactly what’s happening with your skin and stop spending on the wrong things. That’s not a cost. That’s the end of the guessing.

What you’re thinking right now

The questions running through your head.

Read by hundreds of women before they booked. We answer them honestly.

“I’ve had consultations before. Why can’t I just book a treatment directly?”

Because someone else’s assessment, on a different machine, with a different philosophy, is not your assessment. Before we put hands or technology on your skin, we need to see it properly: your full history, your actual skin imaging, your specific goals. The session isn’t an obstacle. It’s the only way we’ll treat you with integrity. Most women book a full treatment plan the same day.

“I’ve wasted so much money on treatments that didn’t work. Why is this different?”

Because everything that didn’t work was recommended without properly looking first. The imaging we use reveals what’s driving your concerns beneath the surface, and your 12-week plan is built from that data, not from a sales sheet or a what’s-popular-this-month list. Your $100 is fully redeemable, so even the session fee comes back to you. You stop guessing the moment you walk in the door.

A note on availability

We take a carefully limited number of new Skin Discovery Session clients each week.

Because every session is a genuine hour: one clinician, one client, full attention. We limit new appointments to protect the quality we give to each person who walks through the door. This is non-negotiable.

The $100 new-client price is currently available. When the calendar fills for the month, this page closes and the standard $199 fee returns, without the facial included.

If your skin has been on your mind for months, this is the week to stop thinking and start knowing.

Our promise to you

Walk in curious.
Walk out clear.

You will never be pressured to book a treatment, buy a product, or commit to anything on the day. The scan is painless. The room is private. The facial is included regardless of what you decide.

If you decide we’re not the right fit, you’ll still leave with your written skin plan, your imaging report emailed to you, your skin calmer and brighter from your facial, and the clearest understanding of your skin you’ve ever had. Your $100 will have been the best money you’ve spent on yourself in months.

Before you book

Questions, answered.

Where is FaceLove located?

+

We’re located at G04/173 Barkly St, St Kilda VIC 3182. Street parking is available nearby and we’re easy to find. Full directions are sent with your booking confirmation. We’re open Tuesday to Friday and Saturday mornings.

Will I be pressured to buy anything on the day?

+

No. Not ever. Your session is about giving you clarity, not closing a sale. Take your plan home, think about it, decide in your own time. We genuinely mean it, and our reviews reflect exactly that.

Is the skin imaging scan painful or invasive?

+

Not at all. It’s a non-contact imaging scan. No needles, no downtime, no redness. You can go straight back to your day afterwards. Most clients say it’s one of the most interesting things they’ve done for their skin.

Is the facial treatment really included?

+

Yes. A targeted 30-minute facial selected specifically for your skin is included as part of your hour, every time. You don’t just leave informed. You leave glowing.

Is my $100 really redeemable?

+

Yes. Your $100 is fully redeemable against any treatment or homecare product on the day of your appointment. If you invest in anything from us that day, your session fee is not a cost. It’s a credit.

I don’t know what’s wrong with my skin. Is that okay?

+

That’s exactly what the session is for. Most of our best clients arrive not knowing, and leave understanding their skin for the first time, often after years of guessing and spending on the wrong things. Not knowing is the whole reason to come.

What if I’ve had bad experiences at other clinics?

+

We hear this often, and it’s one of the reasons FaceLove exists. We specifically designed the session process for women who’ve been let down by vague advice, aggressive upsell, fad treatments, or results that simply didn’t happen. Come in sceptical. Leave with evidence.
