With over 15 years nursing experience and 9 years cosmetic injectable experience, Registered Nurse Marnie Pitts offers a skilful aesthetic experience and comprehensive treatment plan.

Body Composition Monitoring
Are you struggling with weight gain? Are you confused by the fluctuations in your scale weight?
Ordinary scales provide an inaccurate indicator of health as they measure body weight only, failing to note other contributing factors. Visceral fat (fat around organs) is a marker of illness. Therefore, we believe Body Fat Composition readings to be vital in achieving your health goals.
Discover your BMI, percentage of body fat, total body water and hydration, muscle mass, physique rating, bone mass, BMR, metabolic age and visceral fat level.
Fee: $50
(Medicare rebates not available)

ECG & Heart Health Check
Lower your risk of heart disease and heart attack with early detection. MINT Clinic offers ECG and HeartBug ECG Heart Monitoring.
An ECG (Electrocardiogram) records the heart’s electrical impulses, documenting the speed of the heart, rhythm of the heart beat, and strength and timing of the electrical impulses. Irregularities and changes in an ECG can be a sign of a heart-related condition.
Fee: $50 (Medicare claiming available with GP referral)
HeartBug ECG Heart Monitoring is the world’s smallest external monitoring device. Worn from 1 to 4 weeks, the patient activates HeartBug via a phone app when experiencing symptoms. Data is analysed by HeartBug staff cardiologists with a full report returned to your doctor. Learn more
