Frequently Asked Questions

MARA.H is a paramedical skin clinic founded and led by Marina Hu, an ASPA Gold Award Winner with 15+ years in practice. Prescription treatments are assessed and prescribed by an Ahpra-registered medical practitioner. We use TGA-approved products, an authorised Cynosure PICOSURE® PRO laser, and validated DMK paramedical protocols — equipment and protocols that a standard beauty salon does not have access to.
We recommend booking a Comprehensive Skin Assessment at our Chatswood clinic. During this session, Head Therapist Nancy Song will analyze your skin condition, discuss your aesthetic goals, and design a bespoke treatment plan — whether that involves DMK Enzyme Therapy, PICOSURE® PRO, or our paramedical facials.
Yes. Traditional lasers use heat to destroy pigment, which can trigger post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in Asian and ethnic skin. PICOSURE® PRO uses photomechanical energy — ultra-short picosecond pulses that shatter pigment without generating heat — making it significantly safer for darker and ethnic skin tones. MARA.H Chatswood is an Authorized Cynosure PicoSure Clinic with deep expertise in multicultural skin. Learn more on our Pigmentation Treatment Page.
Cosmetic injectables are prescription treatments. Every plan begins with a consultation and prescription by an Ahpra-registered medical practitioner. Treatment is then carried out by the MARA.H clinical team. Only TGA-approved products are used. Explore our Cosmetic Injectables page for more.
Microblading by Marina Hu lasts 12–18 months. Combination brows last 18–24 months, ombre brows 2–3 years, and lip blush 2–3 years. A complimentary 4–6 week perfecting touch-up is included after every initial session. Marina is an ASPA Gold Award Winner.
MARA.H Chatswood offers three distinct, non-surgical skin tightening protocols. Ultherapy Prime uses focused micro-ultrasound to deliver a single deep structural lift at the SMAS layer — FDA-cleared and authorised by Merz Aesthetics. HIFU is also available. Many clients combine treatments — Marina and our clinical team will design the right protocol during consultation.
