Medical Practitioner Treatments
APHRA/MEDICAL BOARD REGULATIONS FOR COSMETIC CLINICS 2024
Two of the main regulators (AHPRA and the TGA) have applied stricter rules around how cosmetic clinics can advertise.
From March 7th 2024 it was clarified that some previously accepted methods of communicating with patients and marketing are now illegal. There are three main changes that are now reflected on this website and in our clinic.
1) Advertising medical procedures and pricing of treatments is no longer allowed
We are unable to list prices on our website or send quotes by email or private messages on social media. Pricing and quotes can only be obtained after a consultation with our medical practitioners to discuss your concerns and explore treatment options best suited to you.
2) Listing specific treatments is no longer allowed, wording such as wrinkle relaxer, dermal filler, injectables is now prohibited.
New patients wanting treatment options performed by our medical practitioners will have to come in for a consultation prior to treatment.
i) ‘New patient consultation without a treatment on the day $80 allow 30 minutes
ii) ‘New patient consultation +having treatment on the day if appropriate (Consult fee may be waived)
3) Before and after images
These have traditionally been used by practitioners to help illustrate what treatments can do and look like. They can still be shown in the privacy of a consultation but are now not allowed to be used for marketing or on social media.
Due to all the new rules and regulations an appointment with a healthcare provider will be required for quotation of prices and alternative solutions.
For your appointment
Please arrive before your allotted appointment time to complete your paperwork and prep for your treatment. Please follow all your pre treatment advice for the best treatment outcome. If the doctor decides on the appointment day that there is a reason for your treatment to not go ahead, you will have the chance to reschedule your appointment free of charge.
- Please call and reschedule if you are feeling unwell or currently on antibiotics/short term prescribed medication. Your healing will be impaired and this will effect your treatment.
- Avoid taking anti – inflammatory medication for at least 48 hours before your procedure. Please check with our team if you are not sure if your medication is under this classification. This medication will thin your blood which increases your risk of bruising and bleeding and also stops your bodies natural inflammatory response which will effect the efficacy of rejuvenation treatments
- Stop all topical retinols and steroidal based creams for 48 hours.
- Make sure you are aware of the down time of your treatment, plan so you are able to take it easy for a few days after your treatment.
- No heat treatments (sauna/spa/hot shower), swimming or strenuous exercise for 48 hours
- All our treatments have research and proof of efficacy however realistic results and expectations should be in mind. There are no guarantees and effects will vary from treatment to treatment.
