What does Iris Contour treat?
Iris Contour restores volume to the cheeks, defines the jawline, and refines the chin using precisely placed hyaluronic acid filler, creating structure without an overfilled appearance.
How long does filler last?
Typically 12-18 months depending on the area treated, the product used, and individual metabolism.
Can filler be dissolved if I don't like the result?
Yes, hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Dr Intan will discuss this at your consultation.
Is it safe for my skin tone?
Yes. Dr Intan has a special interest in treating all Fitzpatrick skin types including III-VI and selects products suited to your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know what treatment I want before booking?
Not at all. Your consultation is the starting point, not a prerequisite knowledge test. Come in, talk through your skin and your goals with Dr Intan, and leave with a personalised plan. There is no obligation to proceed on the day.
Is my consultation complimentary?
Consultations for treatments involving procedures are complimentary. A $200 consultation fee applies for skincare concerns or issues requiring a prescription. Dr Intan will let you know which applies when you get in touch.
Who performs my treatment?
Every treatment at Iris Clinic is performed personally by Dr Intan. There is no handoff between who consults you and who treats you. This is what we mean by doctor-delivered.
What are Dr Intan’s qualifications?
Dr Intan holds an MB ChB (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) from the University of Otago, a Diploma in Dermatology, and is a Fellow of the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners (FRNZCGP). She is registered with the New Zealand Medical Council (NZMC). She also works as a GP Partner at Burwood Health.
What is the minimum charge per visit?
The minimum charge is $200 per visit. Your actual cost will depend on the areas treated, the products used, and the plan we build together at consultation. All prices are confirmed before any treatment begins.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Afterpay, eftpos, bank transfer and cash.
Is Iris Clinic suitable for my skin tone?
Absolutely. Iris Clinic was built with every skin tone in mind, Fitzpatrick III-VI included from the start, not adapted as an afterthought. Dr Intan has a special interest in treating diverse skin tones safely and effectively.
How do I secure my treatment appointment?
Once you and Dr Intan have talked through your treatment plan and you’re ready to go ahead, we’ll ask for prepayment to confirm your booking. This means your appointment time is set aside just for you — and for treatments using an injectable ordered especially for your visit, it also means we can have everything ready and waiting when you arrive. As soon as payment goes through, you’re officially booked in.
What is your cancellation policy?
We understand plans change, please let us know as early as you can. A missed appointment or late cancellation (less than 24 hours’ notice) may incur a fee.
