Overview

​

As we age, the natural production of hyaluronic acid (HA) in our skin decreases. This natural decrease may contribute to changes in skin hydration and volume over time. Based on your individual consultation, a personalised treatment plan may include HA products to support skin structure and hydration.

All treatments involving prescription-only products are provided following a thorough medical consultation and clinical assessment by a qualified health professional.

​

 

What is Hyaluronic Acid (HA)?

​

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the body and plays a role in maintaining skin hydration and elasticity. HA-based gels are commonly used to support facial structure and hydration as part of a personalised treatment plan.

​

 

Your Consultation

​

Every treatment begins with a one-on-one consultation where we assess:

​

• Your medical history

• Skin and volume concerns

• Any previous cosmetic treatments

• Your goals and expectations

 

From this, a personalized treatment plan will be developed, and suitability for treatment will be determined. All treatments involving prescription-only products are carried out by a qualified health professional following a clinical consultation and valid prescription.

​

 

About the Procedure

​

• The treatment area will be marked and prepared using a medical-grade cleanser to ensure a clean and safe procedure.

• A topical numbing cream, ice, or local anaesthetic may be offered to minimise discomfort.

• A small amount of HA is then administered using either fine needles or a cannula.

• Treatment time may vary based on the number of areas being addressed.

​

​

Duration: 30–60 minutes (including numbing and prep time)

Discomfort: Mild; most HA formulations contain a local anaesthetic to increase comfort.

​

 

Recovery & Post-Care Guidelines

​

• Redness, swelling, and mild bruising may occur.

• Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for at least 4 hours.

• Refrain from vigorous exercise, heat exposure, or direct sun for at least 24–72 hours.

• Avoid products with alcohol, exfoliants, or retinoids during the recovery period.

• Cleanse gently and use sunscreen SPF 30+ daily.

• Sleep with your head slightly elevated if swelling occurs.

​

A follow-up appointment may be scheduled 2–4 weeks later to review your results.

​

 

Treatment Areas (subject to individual assessment)

​

• Midface and cheeks

• Nasolabial folds (NLF)

• Marionette lines

• Peri-oral area (including lips)

• Tear troughs

• Chin and jawline

• Temples

• Hands

• Neck

• Skin boosters (for hydration)

​

 

Treatment Frequency

Some clients may observe changes shortly after treatment, while others may notice more gradual improvements. Results vary depending on the treatment area, product used, and individual response.

Maintenance treatments are usually considered after 6–12 months, depending on your treatment plan and how your body metabolises the product.

​

 

Preparing for Your Appointment

​

To ensure the best outcome, we recommend:

• Arriving with clean skin (no foundation or makeup)

• Staying well hydrated in the days before your appointment

• Avoiding alcohol and smoking 72 hours before treatment

• Avoiding anti-inflammatories (unless advised by your doctor) – Panadol is okay if needed

​

 

Costs

Treatment pricing is personalised and discussed during your consultation, based on the area addressed and the clinical plan developed for your needs.
