How long do cosmetic treatment results last?
How long results usually last, what each treatment is used for, and the downtime. Every treatment starts with a consultation to check it is suitable for you.
| Treatment | Helps with | Results typically last | Downtime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wrinkle Reduction | Lines from facial movement, such as frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet | 3 to 4 months | Minimal; most people return to daily activities the same day |
| Volume Restoration | Volume loss in the cheeks, jawline, chin and lips | 12 to 18 months, depending on product and area | Possible swelling or bruising for a few days |
| Lip Enhancement | Lip volume, shape and definition | 6 to 12 months | Swelling usually settles within 5 to 7 days |
| Non-Surgical Face Lift | Early to moderate facial ageing | Varies with the combination of treatments used | Depends on the treatments combined |
| Skin Treatments | Texture, acne scarring, pigmentation, enlarged pores, dullness | Cumulative over a course of sessions | Skin needling: 24 to 48 hours of redness. LED and hydrafacial: none |
Longevity and downtime vary between individuals and are confirmed at your consultation. A consultation is required to assess suitability before any treatment.

Do I have to book treatment after my consultation?
No. There is no obligation to book treatment after your consultation with a registered nurse. New patients, and anyone who has not visited in 12 months, pay a $35 doctor scripting fee before any prescription treatment.
How much do treatments cost?
Cost depends on the treatment and how much is needed, so it is quoted in writing at your consultation before anything is booked. Prices for prescription injectables cannot be advertised in Australia. Afterpay is available on all treatments.
How long do results last?
It depends on the treatment. Wrinkle-softening treatments typically last 3 to 4 months. Lip enhancement generally lasts 6 to 12 months. Cheek and jawline volume restoration can last 12 to 18 months. Your nurse will explain what to expect for you at your consultation.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit is a consultation covering your medical history, what you would like to change, which treatments may suit you, the risks, expected results and aftercare. You do not have to go ahead with treatment on the same day.
