Torquay Medical Health & Wellness Clinic provides assessment for a range of minor procedures in Torquay. Whether a procedure can be performed at the clinic depends on the condition, urgency, practitioner availability and the equipment or follow-up care required.
An initial consultation may be needed before booking a procedure. This allows the doctor to examine the concern, explain suitable options, discuss potential risks and alternatives, and confirm whether clinic-based treatment is appropriate.
Assessment before a minor procedure
Some skin concerns, wounds, lumps, lesions or minor injuries require examination before treatment can be planned. Your GP may recommend observation, testing, imaging, medication, a clinic procedure or referral to another service. A procedure is never guaranteed solely from an online description or booking request.

Minor skin and wound procedures
Depending on clinical assessment and practitioner availability, clinic-based care may include selected minor skin procedures, wound review, dressings or suture-related care. Some concerns may require pathology, specialist assessment, urgent care or hospital treatment instead.
If you have a deep or heavily contaminated wound, uncontrolled bleeding, loss of sensation or movement, or a serious injury, seek urgent medical assessment rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
Consent, preparation and medicines
Before any procedure, your doctor will explain what is proposed and provide an opportunity to ask questions. Tell the clinic about allergies, pregnancy, implanted devices, bleeding conditions and all medicines or supplements you take, particularly medicines that affect bleeding. Do not stop prescribed medication unless a qualified clinician specifically advises you to do so.
Instructions about eating, drinking, transport or aftercare vary by procedure. Follow the directions provided by the treating clinician.
Fees, pathology and external costs
Procedure fees can differ from a standard consultation and may depend on complexity, materials, appointment duration and follow-up. Separate pathology, imaging, pharmacy or specialist costs may also apply. Ask reception for current clinic fee information, while noting that a final cost may not be known until assessment.
Please review our opening hours and fees before attending.
Aftercare and follow-up
After a procedure, follow the written or verbal care instructions you receive. These may cover dressings, activity, pain relief, wound care, results and follow-up appointments. Contact the clinic or seek urgent care if you develop concerning symptoms such as heavy bleeding, rapidly increasing pain, spreading redness, marked swelling, fever or another unexpected deterioration.
