The Process
Step 1: Initial consult
At our Southbank clinic near Melbourne’s CBD, we assess skin quality, laxity, and goals, review medical history, and discuss expected results and downtime. We then recommend the most suitable collagen-stimulating option(s) for you.
Step 2: Treatment
Most sessions take 20–45 minutes. You may feel warmth (RF/laser/ultrasound) or brief pinpoint sensations (RF microneedling). A series is usually planned for steady tightening and texture improvement.
Common, temporary effects:
- Mild redness and warmth for 24–48 hours
- Subtle swelling or pinpoint marks (with RF microneedling) for 1–3 days
- Transient tightness or dryness
Step 3: Aftercare
Immediately & first 48 hours
- Keep skincare simple: gentle cleanser + hydrating moisturiser
- Avoid heat (sauna/steam) and strenuous exercise the first day
- Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ if outdoors
For 1 week
- Pause strong actives (retinoids, high-% acids) unless advised
- Do not pick or scrub if light flaking occurs; allow natural shedding
Ongoing
- Complete the recommended series (often every 3–4 weeks) for best tightening
- Maintain results with daily SPF and a clinician-guided routine
Frequently Asked Questions
Most clients see early “tight” feeling in 1–2 weeks, with visible firmness and texture gains building over 6–12 weeks as collagen remodels. A course of 3–5 sessions (spaced 3–4 weeks apart) is typical, followed by periodic maintenance.
It depends on laxity level, skin type, downtime tolerance and areas treated. RF is great for global tightening with minimal downtime; RF microneedling adds texture refinement and pore improvement; non-ablative laser boosts collagen while helping tone/texture; ultrasound targets deeper lifting vectors. We’ll tailor the choice (or combine them) after your consult.
