Changes in facial volume and definition are a natural part of ageing. Over time, areas such as the cheeks, lips, jawline and folds around the mouth may change due to a gradual loss of collagen, fat and skin elasticity.
At The Skin Lab, we offer consultations to discuss your concerns and provide information about the options that may be suitable for you. Recommendations are made on an individual basis by our qualified medical practitioners, taking into account your medical history, concerns and preferences.
Pricing
Due to TGA advertising requirements, we are unable to publish pricing for some treatment options. Your practitioner will discuss suitable options and provide pricing during your consultation.
What to expect
Every appointment begins with a consultation. Your practitioner will discuss your concerns, medical history and expectations, then explain the options that may be suitable for you, including what is involved, possible side effects and aftercare requirements.
Some treatment options discussed during consultation may involve prescription-only medicines. Australian regulations do not permit these medicines to be advertised to the public. A consultation allows our practitioners to provide information tailored to your individual circumstances and answer any questions you may have.
