✦ Plan your stay
Weekly treatment means most of our patients live in Bali for around six months. Here is what people ask us before they come: visas, where to stay, when to arrive and what to pack. We'll help you with the rest.
✦ Why Bali
We chose Bali because it is a place where a long stay feels like living, not waiting.
Climate
Warmth and sea air
Many people arriving from cold, dry or polluted cities find Bali's warmth and breezy sea air more comfortable. Heat and humidity can also trigger flares, so we'll help you plan for both sides of it.
Daily life
An easy place to live
Bali has a big international community, so food, shops and the familiar comforts of home are easy to find. At the clinic, you'll meet other patients who know exactly what this is like.
Getting here
Close to home for many
For patients from Australia and New Zealand, Bali is a short flight away and in a similar time zone, so family and friends feel closer.
✦ The steps
We plan the timing with you, so your intake date, your visa and your place to stay all line up.
Start with step one01
Tell us about your skin
Send us a short enquiry. We reply with a link to create your Wave Patient Profile.
02
We check CAP is right for you
Our team reviews your profile before you commit to anything, including flights.
03
Choose your intake date
We offer you the next available intake dates around when you'd like to come.
04
Sort your visa
Pick the visa that fits your stay. If you need a longer-stay medical visa, we can support your application.
05
Book somewhere to stay
Find a room that is as irritant-free as you can make it. Many patients book a short stay first and look around once they've arrived.
06
Land, rest, begin
Your intake consultation comes first. Treatment can usually start around two days after you land, which gives you time to rest after the flight.
✦ Visas
Our patients usually come one of two ways. Some arrive on a visa on arrival. Others, planning a longer course of treatment, apply before they travel for a longer-stay medical visa, known as the C3 or D3.
For a medical visa, we can support your application with a guarantor letter, arranged through an immigration agency. You'll be asked for documents such as your passport details and recent bank statements, and the agency confirms the full list for your application.
Once you're here, if you need paperwork for your visa, such as a medical certificate or a support letter for someone travelling with you, just ask us.
Visa rules change
Always check the current requirements on the official Indonesian immigration e-visa site, evisa.imigrasi.go.id, before you book flights. We'll talk you through the options as they stand when you apply.
✦ Where to stay
You'll rest at home for the 48 hours after each session, so your room matters more than it would on a holiday. There is a hotel right next to the clinic, and plenty of other places nearby in Seminyak.
As irritant-free as possible
No diffusers, scented candles or air fresheners. Ask staff to remove scented items and to skip fragranced cleaning sprays in your room.
A kitchen, ideally
If you have food allergies, cooking for yourself means you always know what's on your plate.
Your own laundry
A washing machine lets you wash in hot water with no detergent, rather than relying on scented local laundry services.
Try it first
Many patients book a few nights first to see how their skin reacts, then commit to somewhere for the longer stay.
✦ Living in Seminyak
The clinic is on Jl. Drupadi in Seminyak, on Bali's south-west coast. The area has a large international community, familiar food and shops, and the sea within easy reach.
Your week has a rhythm: one session, then rest for the 48 hours after it while your skin is more sensitive. Outside those rest days, patients join our workshops and socials, and many tell us the friendships they made here carried them through.
Sea and sun can be part of life here, done carefully and at the right stage. We'll talk you through it at your intake.
Living with TSW triggers
✦ What to pack
Hotel toiletries and laundry services are usually scented, and some medicines may not be easy to find in Bali. This is the list patients tell us they were glad to have.
✓
Your medication. Enough for your stay, with prescriptions. Some medicines may not be available locally, so check with us and your doctor before you travel.
✓
Your own wash and shampoo. Fragrance-free products you already know your skin tolerates.
✓
Sheets and towels, if you have room. Your own, washed the way your skin likes, for the first nights anywhere new.
✓
Loose cotton clothes. More than you think you need, including long sleeves and light trousers for the sun.
✓
Sun and heat kit. A hat, sunglasses and a small handheld fan.
✓
A change of clothes in your carry-on. Useful on a long flight if you flake or ooze.
✓
Your visa paperwork. Printed or saved copies of everything you submitted.
✓
Patience for the first week. Travel is tiring, and tiredness is a trigger. Leave real time to rest before anything else.
Clinic house rules
We keep the clinic fragrance-free for everyone's skin. Please come without perfume, scented deodorant or scented hair products, take your shoes off at the door, and check with us before bringing food in.
A treatment plan is at least 12 sessions, one a week. On average, patients stay with us for about six months. At your intake we give you a personal estimate, based on your skin.
Your intake consultation comes first, and treatment can usually start around two days after you land. Give yourself time to rest after the flight before your first session.
It can be. Heat, sweat and humidity are common triggers. Patients manage with air-conditioning or a dehumidifier, a handheld fan, loose cotton and rinsing off sweat often. We'll help you find what works for you.
Yes, and many patients do. If the person travelling with you needs a support letter for their visa, ask us.
Treatment is IDR 1,250,000 per 30 minutes, charged by the minute. The intake consultation is IDR 1,250,000, fully credited towards your first CAP treatment.
