We believe aesthetic medicine should feel considered, refined and deeply personal. Our nurse-led clinic offers evidence based treatments with a strong focus on skin health, long term wellbeing and a conservative treatment philosophy, because we believe the best outcomes are those that support you, not define you.

Areas covered may include lines and wrinkles, volume changes, skin texture, facial balance, lip appearance, jaw tension, shoulder tightness, or hyperhidrosis. This is the required first step before any treatment is discussed or recommended. There is no obligation to proceed.

Your registered nurse provider will outline which options may or may not be clinically appropriate for you, including relevant risks and alternatives. Written information is provided to take away. No treatment is performed at a consultation appointment unless full assessment and informed consent have been completed.
-
Consultations are available to all adults. Treatment suitability following consultation is assessed individually based on health history, medications and clinical presentation.
-
No treatment is performed at a consultation appointment. Risks associated with any treatments discussed are outlined in full at consultation and provided in writing.
-
A single consultation is the starting point. Additional consultations can be arranged if further time or information is needed before making a decision.
PRP SKIN And HAIR RESTORATION
A regenerative treatment using a preparation derived from your own blood, introduced into targeted areas to support tissue health. At Discreet Aesthetics, PRP is offered for two applications: scalp treatment to address hair thinning and support scalp health, and skin treatment to support skin quality and texture. As a higher-risk cosmetic procedure, PRP is only offered following thorough clinical consultation and individual assessment.
-
PRP is not appropriate for all types or causes of hair thinning or skin concerns. Consultation assesses the nature and pattern of the concern, contributing health factors, medical history, and individual goals. Further investigation may be recommended before a treatment plan is developed. As a higher-risk cosmetic procedure, suitability for both hair and skin applications is individually assessed before any treatment is recommended.
-
A small amount of blood is drawn and processed to separate the plasma. The preparation is then introduced into the targeted area — the scalp or skin — using fine needles. The appointment takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes including preparation time. Some redness, tenderness, or mild swelling at the treatment site is normal and generally settles within a few days. Multiple sessions may be recommended depending on individual assessment. Results vary between individuals and are discussed in detail at consultation.
-
Not appropriate for individuals with certain blood conditions or clotting disorders, active infection at the treatment site, or those on certain medications including anti-inflammatory medications. Not appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding. May not be suitable for certain types or stages of hair thinning or skin concerns. Suitability for both hair and skin applications is assessed at consultation.
-
As a higher-risk cosmetic procedure, risks are discussed in full at consultation and provided in writing prior to treatment. Side effects may include temporary tenderness, swelling, and sensitivity at the treatment site. In rare cases, bruising or an unexpected response at the injection site may occur. Risks apply to both hair and skin applications and vary depending on individual presentation.
-
An initial course of three to four sessions is commonly recommended, typically spaced four to six weeks apart. Changes may begin to become evident over a period of months following commencement of treatment. Maintenance sessions are generally recommended every three to six months thereafter to support ongoing clinical outcomes. Individual response varies significantly and treatment frequency is determined at consultation based on individual clinical presentation.
MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is a skin treatment using a medical-grade device to create controlled micro-channels in the skin surface. At Discreet Aesthetics it is offered for the face, neck, décolletage, hands and areas of acne scarring.
Microneedling is a higher-risk cosmetic procedure performed only following thorough clinical consultation to assess individual suitability. All treatment information, risks and clinical considerations are provided in writing prior to any procedure proceeding.
-
Microneedling is a higher-risk cosmetic procedure not appropriate for all individuals or skin presentations. Skin condition, medical history, current medications and contraindications are assessed prior to treatment. Treatment depth and protocol are determined individually at consultation. Not all individuals presenting to the clinic will be assessed as suitable candidates.
-
A topical anaesthetic is applied prior to treatment. The device is passed over the treatment area in a controlled manner. Appointment duration varies depending on the area treated. Temporary redness and skin sensitivity are expected following the procedure and form part of the normal skin response. Individual response varies.
-
Not appropriate for individuals with active skin infection, open wounds or active acne lesions in the treatment area, certain skin conditions, those on medications affecting skin healing, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Suitability is assessed in full at consultation.
-
As a higher-risk cosmetic procedure, risks are discussed at consultation and provided in writing prior to treatment. Side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, skin sensitivity and bruising. In rare cases, infection, post-inflammatory pigmentation changes or an unexpected skin response may occur.
-
A course of three to six sessions is commonly recommended, typically spaced four to six weeks apart. Skin changes may begin to become evident in the weeks following treatment, with further changes developing over the following months. Maintenance sessions are generally recommended every three to six months. Individual clinical response varies and session frequency is determined at consultation based on individual skin presentation and goals.
SKIN REJUVENATION TREATMENTS
Plasma and Fibroblast skin treatment is offered at Discreet Aesthetics as a clinically assessed option for skin health. As a higher-risk cosmetic procedure, suitability is determined at consultation based on individual presentation and health history.
-
Plasma and Fibroblast treatment are higher-risk cosmetic procedures requiring individual clinical assessment before proceeding. Medical history, skin type, skin tone, current health status and medications are all considered. Plasma and fibroblast treatment carries specific considerations around skin tone and scarring history. Not all individuals will be assessed as suitable for treatment.
-
A topical anaesthetic is applied prior to the procedure. The plasma device delivers controlled energy to targeted points on the skin surface. Small carbon crusts form as part of the normal healing response and resolve over a number of days. A period of downtime is required and outlined at consultation.
Individual response to treatment varies.
-
Not appropriate for individuals with medium to darker skin tones, those prone to keloid scarring, active skin infection in the treatment area, certain medical conditions, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Suitability for treatment is assessed thoroughly at consultation.
-
Swelling, redness, crusting and skin sensitivity during the healing period. Risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation changes, particularly in medium to darker skin tones. In rare cases, scarring or unexpected skin response.
-
A single session is appropriate for many treatment areas. The healing process develops over several weeks, with further changes becoming evident over the following months. Where repeat sessions are clinically indicated, a minimum healing period of eight to twelve weeks between sessions is required. Individual response and suitability for repeat treatment are assessed at a follow-up appointment.

Personalised Aesthetic and Regenerative Care
BOOK A CONSULT
All treatments at Discreet Aesthetics begin with a thorough clinical consultation to assess individual suitability, discuss relevant risks and alternatives, and ensure you are fully informed before any decisions are made. Treatment is never recommended without this process taking place first.
Due to TGA Regulations, we are unable to discuss some of the treatments we offer at Discreet Aesthetics outside of a consultation.
About the Founder
Leanda Blackwell
Registered Nurse (Division 1) — NMW0000936700 Founder, Discreet Aesthetics
I'm Leanda Blackwell, a Registered Nurse with over 16 years of clinical nursing experience and an extensive background in perioperative and plastic surgery nursing.
Working for more than a decade within surgical and plastic surgery environments gave me a thorough grounding in facial anatomy, sterile technique and patient safety, an understanding that directly informs how I approach aesthetic medicine today.
My clinical philosophy is centred on conservative, individually tailored care and long-term skin health. I have a particular clinical interest in regenerative aesthetics, PRP therapies and hair restoration, and I work closely with clients navigating skin and hormonal changes associated with ageing, perimenopause and menopause.
I believe aesthetic care should consider the whole person, not just isolated concerns. At Discreet Aesthetics I take the time to listen, educate and develop treatment plans that reflect individual goals, health history and clinical appropriateness.
Discreet Aesthetics was created to offer a more considered, clinically grounded experience for those seeking evidence based aesthetic and regenerative care in Launceston and across Tasmania.
