Cosmetic Injectables
VOLUME, BALANCE, LIFT & SCULPT
Wrinkles and volume loss are a natural part of the ageing process – our skin gets thinner and our body decreases its production of natural collagen and elastin. Our qualified Nurse Practitioner understands the science of ageing, and we combine market-leading cosmetic injectable products with advanced facial anatomy knowledge. From dermal fillers to anti-wrinkle treatments, lip filler to chin sculpting, our experienced team is ready to create a tailored treatment plan that will deliver on your aesthetic goals.
Great results don’t just happen in the clinic, the pre and post care for your treatment also has a dramatic effect on the outcome. Preparation is required before some peels, please refer to our pre-treatment care and post-treatment care information below.
