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.

N​ew 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.

 

Testimonial

Amber had anti-wrinkle injections

I have had several cosmetic treatments under Dr Eoin McDonnell over the past year and I can not fault the service I have received. I have always felt in safe hands knowing Dr McDonnell has extensive expertise not only in cosmetics, but as a General Practitioner. Dr McDonnell explains the procedures well and I have always felt reassured that only the best products are used on my skin. I love the results of the anti-wrinkle injections and I look forward to attending Rewind clinic many more times in the future!

Lesley had Picosure facial rejuvenation

I had 4 Picosure laser treatments over a year ago and the difference to my face is remarkable. Prior to having the treatment, I had a sun damaged, blemished face and it is so smooth now. People remark how lovely my skin is, smooth and clear. The treatment is quick and easily done in a lunch break with no downtime. It just looked like I had been out in the sun and I was a bit sunkissed after the treatments but that was gone in a couple of hours.

Sarah had anti-wrinkle injections

Core medical has a myriad of cosmetic services that rival any place I frequented in Sydney. Eoin and his team are on the pulse when it comes to the latest treatments and are more than happy to take the time to explain anything about them. I’m so happy to have found this little gem and will continue to be a loyal customer.

Kevin had tattoo removal

I’ve had a unwanted tattoo on my shoulder for twenty five years and not been over comfortable with it. I approached Dr McDonnell about having it removed. From the very first laser treatment there was a visual difference and I was impressed with the first result, although the laser treatment is a slight discomfort as of pain but not as bad as when I got the tattoo. After each treatment you could see the physical difference and after a few sessions I’m happy to say that its gone for good.

Alison had treatment for Rosacea

I’ve been super pleased with my results! As a rosacea suffer, contacting Dr McDonnell was the best move I’ve ever made towards reducing my facial redness and eliminating all the broken capillaries that accompanied my condition. I’ve been quite blown away by the compliments I frequently get on how lovely my skin is – this is a far cry from how self-conscious my permanently flushed face made me shy away from wanting to go out anywhere. I’d highly recommend this treatment especially to my fellow rosaceans!
