Lines and wrinkles are a natural part of ageing. Over time, repeated facial movements, sun exposure, and a gradual loss of collagen and elasticity can lead to lines forming around the eyes, forehead and mouth.
At The Skin Lab, we offer consultations to discuss your concerns and provide information about the options that may be suitable for you. Any treatment is prescription-only and can only be recommended following an individual assessment by one of our qualified medical practitioners. Individual responses and outcomes may vary.
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. Our practitioner will talk with you about your concerns, your medical history and what you would like to achieve, then explain the options that may be suitable, along with what is involved, the possible side effects and the aftercare.
Because the treatments we may discuss are prescription-only, we are not able to advertise them by name or promote their use. A consultation allows us to give you accurate, individual information.
