Premium Filler
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Until recently, we have presented extensive information about the various non-surgical aesthetic medical treatments on our website. Our motivation was to inform any potential client or persons interested on what the treatments entail, and what they may expect from those treatments. The benefits and the risks to having these treatments is always discussed in an in-person consultation with the qualified practitioner.
As a result of the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) updating its guidance on the advertising of cosmetic injectables, we have removed all information about cosmetic injectables that use prescription only medications from all of our publicly available channels including this website and our social media platforms.
Any treatments that we offer that do not rely upon a prescription only medication in order to achieve their results are not affected by the TGA announcement, so we will continue to publish information about these treatments.
When you come in for your consultation with us, we will provide a thorough assessment of your unique features and work with you to educate you about a bespoke range of possible treatment plans (as we have always done). When discussing these options, we will be able to answer any specific questions about any of the treatments that we provide – including a discussion of treatments requiring prescription-only medications that are not discussed on our website.
WhAT IF YOU ARE AN EXISTING CLIENT?
If you are an existing client
At each appointment we will re-evaluate you and your health and ensure a continuation of your treatment plan is appropriate before proceeding. Please book in your appointments as per normal.
If you are a new client
Whether you have had injectables treatments before or now, you need to book in for a consultation to discuss the treatment, during which our prescribing doctor and one of our nurses will assess whether or not the treatment is suitable, and educate you on the potential risks and benefits of the treatment (as we have always done). We will also discuss any other treatment options that may help you with your concern that does not require the use of prescription only medication.
Please note: This treatment is not suitable during pregnancy or during breastfeeding.
