Questions

Yes — all consultations at SEPEMA are complimentary with no deposit required and no obligation to proceed. Book online at sepema.as.me or call/text 0450 035 798.

Yes, and for paramedical services this is strongly encouraged. Send photos to bookings@sepema.com.au and Ally can provide a preliminary assessment before you come in.

For all paramedical services — scar revision, stretch mark revision, skin camouflage, and areola restoration — a free consultation is strongly recommended. For cosmetic tattooing you may book directly, though a consultation is always available. Beauty services (lash lift & tint, brow lamination & tint, restorative needling and biomimetic peels) do not require a consultation and can be booked straight in online.

A 15% deposit is required at time of booking for all treatment appointments. This is non-refundable but transferable with 48 hours notice. No deposit is required to consult. See the Clinic Policies page for full details.

No. Scar revision at SEPEMA uses a tattoo machine fitted with treatment-specific cartridges — a more intensive technique than device-based microneedling. It works at a depth capable of genuine tissue remodelling, not simply surface refreshment. No topical anaesthetic is used.

Surgical scars (abdominoplasty, brachioplasty, breast surgery, C-section, skin cancer removal), traumatic scars, self-harm scars, burn scars, and acne scarring. Each case is assessed individually.

Most clients require 2–6 sessions for meaningful improvement. The number depends on the scar type, age, size, and skin response. A minimum of 12 weeks between sessions is required where PIH risk is present. A realistic assessment is provided at consultation.

From $220 per session. Pricing is based on the treatment area and complexity — confirmed at your free consultation.

Yes — restorative needling can meaningfully reduce the visibility and texture of stretch marks. The realistic outcome is a significant reduction rather than complete erasure. White or silver marks may not return to exactly the surrounding skin tone, but texture and visibility can be substantially reduced and in some cases healed in their entirety.

Most clients require 2–4 sessions for meaningful improvement, with 6–8 weeks between sessions. Patience is part of the process — results build over time.

From $220 per session. Pricing is confirmed at your free consultation based on area size and session count.

Stable vitiligo, hypopigmented scars, skin grafts, burn scars, and post-traumatic hypopigmentation. Each case is assessed individually.

Vitiligo camouflage can be unpredictable. It is essential that vitiligo is stable prior to treatment. Results may not last as long as camouflage on other conditions, and there is no guarantee of how the pigment will hold over time. This is discussed openly at consultation.

Ally typically custom-blends three pigment mixes in clinic, matched precisely against your surrounding skin in natural light. This happens in real time — no two blends are ever the same. Treatment builds in layers across sessions to achieve seamless integration.

From $220 per session. Pricing is confirmed at consultation.

Areola restoration is for clients who have experienced pigmentation loss following mastectomy, breast reconstruction, or other breast surgery. It may involve re-pigmentation of existing tissue or 3D recreation of the areola and nipple appearance using specialty tattooing techniques for optimal realism.

Yes — SEPEMA offers complimentary areola restoration services for cancer patients. Please enquire directly at bookings@sepema.com.au or 0450 035 798. Friends and family wishing to contribute to the cost of a loved one's service may do so via the Pay It Forward initiative.

Timing depends on your surgical team's advice and the healing of the breast tissue. Ally is happy to liaise with your surgeon if needed. The skin should be fully healed and cleared by your surgeon before treatment begins.

All cosmetic tattooing prices at SEPEMA include both your initial treatment and your touch-up appointment. No extra fees at the follow-up. Lip Blush and Brow Tattooing are $795 complete; Lash Line Enhancement is $550 complete.

Results vary by service and individual skin. Lip blush typically lasts 1–3 years; brow tattooing 2–4 years; lash line enhancement 2–4 years. Touch-up appointments after that are priced separately, based on fading.

Topical numbing is applied before all cosmetic tattooing procedures and given full time to take effect. Most clients experience minimal discomfort.

Comprehensive aftercare instructions are emailed to you at the completion of every appointment. Aftercare balm and application instructions are provided to you before you leave the clinic. Specific aftercare varies by treatment.

Apply SPF daily to protect pigment from UV fading. Avoid retinoids and strong exfoliants directly over the treated area. Active skincare routines can affect longevity.
