There is a particular kind of skin that comes from living on the Northern Beaches. Years of school runs and beach afternoons settle into the surface, showing up as changes in tone, texture and sun-related pigmentation that seem to arrive gradually and then all at once. It is the most common reason people walk through the door at Sisä Skincare, which after three years in Freshwater has just opened a new flagship space.
The first person you meet is Abi at reception, a local mum who will settle you in with a hot drink before your appointment. The space is a luxury one, calm and considered, because being comfortable is part of being properly cared for.
From there you are in the hands of one of our Registered Nurses. Sisä was founded by Chelsea Hyett, a local Registered Nurse who treats clients herself, alongside a team of Registered Nurses and a Dermal Clinician. What they offer is time and genuine expertise, and an integrative plan built around your skin rather than around a menu.
The new space is also home to the Alma Hybrid, the only laser of its kind on the Northern Beaches. It pairs an ablative CO2 wavelength, which resurfaces the outer layer of skin, with a non-ablative Erbium wavelength that works beneath it, prompting the skin’s own repair and collagen response in the weeks that follow. It is used for sun damage, pigmentation, uneven texture and scarring, and its settings are adjustable, so treatment can be planned around the recovery time your life allows.
If you are not sure where to start, a 30 minute skin consultation with a Registered Nurse is $50, and includes your own patient portal with a plan built around your skin and lifestyle.

Sisä Skincare is a nurse-led clinic operating under medical oversight. Every appointment begins with a thorough skin and medical assessment. Ablative laser is a higher-risk non-surgical cosmetic procedure, and suitability is confirmed at consultation before any treatment is booked. Individual results vary.
