FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Information provided is general in nature and does not replace medical advice. A consultation is required to assess suitability and discuss potential risks.
01What treatments are available?
We offer non-surgical aesthetic procedures including wrinkle treatments and skin rejuvenation treatments. Each treatment is performed by a registered medical doctor. The suitability of any procedure will be assessed during your medical consultation, where we work with you to ensure your plan aligns with your personal goals and preferences.
02What makes your approach different?
Every treatment is assessed and performed by a medical doctor, Dr Shay Hendler. Plans are based on a medical assessment of your facial anatomy rather than trends, with the aim of subtle results that preserve natural expression. Any rare complication can be managed by a doctor straight away, and you receive clear information about your options, risks and aftercare at every step. Results vary from person to person.
03Are these treatments safe?
Your safety is central to everything we do. We use TGA-approved products, follow evidence-based medical protocols, and perform all procedures to the highest standard of care. All medical treatments carry potential risks and side effects, which is why our consultations are designed to provide clear, balanced information to help you make an informed decision.
04Will my results look natural?
Our approach is to enhance your natural beauty in a way that is effective yet undetectable. While results vary from person to person, our aim is to create subtle, refined outcomes that reflect your individual features based on an agreed treatment plan. We will discuss what is realistic for you during your consultation.
05How long do treatments take?
Most treatments take around 30 minutes to complete, though this can vary depending on your individual plan. We will give you an estimate during your consultation so you can plan your visit comfortably.
06When will I notice results?
It depends on the treatment:
- Wrinkle treatments may take several days to show changes.
- Skin rejuvenation treatments may require multiple sessions for gradual improvement.
Not all patients will have the same experience or timeframe.
07How long will results last?
Duration varies based on the treatment, your lifestyle, and how your body responds. On average, results may last several months, but this is not guaranteed. We’ll guide you on the best ways to maintain your results if you wish to.
08Is there discomfort during treatment?
Some procedures may cause mild discomfort. We use careful techniques, refined through Dr Hendler’s paediatric experience, and when appropriate, numbing agents to help make your experience as comfortable as possible.
09What happens at the first appointment?
Your first appointment is a thorough consultation. We’ll talk about your goals, medical history, and what you’d like to achieve. You’ll receive personalised recommendations, along with a clear explanation of potential outcomes, risks, and aftercare before deciding whether to proceed.
10Do I need a medical consultation before treatment?
Yes. Every treatment begins with a medical consultation with Dr Hendler, where your concerns, medical history and facial anatomy are assessed. It is how we confirm whether a treatment is appropriate for you and tailor it to your needs, and you will receive clear information about risks and expected outcomes. There is no pressure to proceed on the day.
11Can I have treatments while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Injectable treatments are not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
12How much will treatment cost?
Treatment costs vary depending on the type of procedure, the amount of product required, and your personalised treatment plan. We can provide an estimate upon enquiry; however, as individual dosing and treatments differ, an exact quote can only be confirmed during your initial assessment.
13How do I book?
