Question 1

What is Laneway Skin and what makes it different?

Accepted Answer

Laneway Skin is a boutique skin clinic in Osborne Park, Perth, run by Sam. Unlike larger clinics, you'll always work one-on-one with Sam, who takes the time to truly understand your skin before recommending anything. Every treatment is personalised, every product is chosen with intention, and every visit builds on the last.

Question 2

Do I need a consultation before booking?

Accepted Answer

New clients are encouraged to start with a Skin Health Assessment — a dedicated session where Sam gets to know your skin, your concerns, your lifestyle, and your goals. This ensures your treatment time and investment is never wasted on treatments that aren't right for your skin.

Question 3

Where is Laneway Skin located?

Accepted Answer

Laneway Skin is located at 158 Main Street, Osborne Park WA 6017. Parking is available nearby.

Question 4

What are your opening hours?

Accepted Answer

Monday and Tuesday: By appointment. Wednesday and Thursday: 10am–7pm. Friday: 9am–4pm. Saturday: 8am–2pm.

Question 5

I've never had a facial before — where do I start?

Accepted Answer

The best starting point is a Skin Health Assessment. It's not a treatment — it's a conversation about your skin. Sam will assess your skin in person, walk you through what she observes, and recommend a treatment pathway that makes sense for where your skin is right now.

Question 6

What should I do before my first appointment?

Accepted Answer

Come with a clean face if possible, or arrive a little early so we can remove your makeup before your treatment. Avoid using any harsh active ingredients (retinol, AHAs, BHAs) for 24–48 hours beforehand.

Question 7

What actually happens in a Bespoke Facial?

Accepted Answer

Every Bespoke Facial begins with a detailed skin review where Sam assesses your skin's current condition and listens to your concerns. From there, she curates a treatment using the right combination of products, modalities, and techniques for your skin on that specific day. No two treatments are identical.

Question 8

How often should I get a Bespoke Facial?

Accepted Answer

For most clients, every 4–6 weeks works well to maintain results and stay ahead of seasonal or hormonal changes. Sam will give you a personalised recommendation at your appointment based on your skin's needs and goals.

Question 9

What is Buccal NeoLifting and does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

Buccal NeoLifting is an advanced massage technique that works both externally and inside the mouth to release deep facial tension, sculpt and lift the muscles, and stimulate collagen production. The internal component can feel unusual at first, but most clients find it deeply relaxing once they settle in. It should never be painful.

Question 10

How many Buccal NeoLifting sessions do I need to see results?

Accepted Answer

Many clients notice a visible lift and de-puffing after their very first session. For more significant or lasting structural change, a course of 4–6 treatments is recommended, spaced 2–4 weeks apart.

Question 11

Can Buccal NeoLifting replace injectables?

Accepted Answer

Buccal NeoLifting works with your natural facial architecture rather than altering it. Many clients find it reduces their reliance on injectables over time, while others use it alongside them to maintain and enhance results. It's a deeply effective standalone treatment.

Question 12

What is the Jaw Tension Release treatment?

Accepted Answer

The Jaw Tension Release is a focused 50-minute treatment ($249) specifically designed for those carrying chronic tension in the jaw, temples, and neck — whether from grinding, clenching, stress, or postural habits. It uses Buccal techniques with a therapeutic rather than aesthetic focus.

Question 13

Does skin needling hurt?

Accepted Answer

Most clients describe it as a mild scratching or tingling sensation — uncomfortable in some areas but very manageable. Sam adjusts the depth and settings to suit your skin's tolerance, and LED therapy afterwards helps calm any redness or sensitivity quickly.

Question 14

How long is the recovery time after skin needling?

Accepted Answer

Most clients experience some redness and mild sensitivity for 24–48 hours post-treatment — similar to a light sunburn. Makeup and active skincare should be avoided for at least 24 hours. By day two or three, most people are glowing.

Question 15

What's the difference between Standard and Advanced Skin Needling?

Accepted Answer

The Standard treatment (45 mins, $299) focuses on the face and is ideal for those new to needling or targeting specific concerns. The Advanced treatment (60 mins, $450) extends to the neck, chest, and delicate eye and lip areas, and includes a targeted serum needled directly into the skin for a more comprehensive result.

Question 16

Can I wear makeup after skin needling?

Accepted Answer

We recommend avoiding makeup for at least 24 hours post-needling to allow the microchannels to close and reduce the risk of irritation. Mineral makeup can be considered after 24 hours if needed, but bare skin is always best in the first day or two.
