Loss of Skin Laxity Concern
As we age, the skin gradually loses firmness and elasticity, which can lead to sagging and loss of contour. Collagen-stimulating and skin-firming treatments aim to support the skin's own renewal to help improve the appearance of firmness over time. Options are discussed and assessed individually at consultation.

Price
Due to TGA & AHPRA Guidelines; any pricing related to cosmetic treatments is unable to be disclosed online. An in person consultation must be performed to determine suitability for treatment. Treatment pricing will be determined upon consultation. The in-clinic consultation is A$70. All consultations and treatments will be performed by a Registered Nurse.
All cosmetic medical treatments at this clinic are carried out under appropriate medical governance and in compliance with Australian regulatory requirements. All registered nurses work in collaboration with qualified medical practitioners or nurse practitioners who provide prescribing, oversight, and clinical support.
Treatments are administered in accordance with the relevant state and national regulations, ensuring the highest standard of patient safety and ethical care.
Results vary between individuals.
How it works & what to expect
As firmness declines, collagen-stimulating and skin-firming treatments work by supporting the activity of fibroblasts — the cells that produce collagen fibres. Rather than simply adding volume, the aim is to encourage the skin’s own renewal to help improve the appearance of firmness and contour over time.
More collagen in the skin means firmer, less saggy skin. Biostimulators trigger the body’s own collagen production, gradually improving firmness, texture and contour for a natural, long-lasting result.
Effects are gradual and lasting, as the body continues to produce collagen for up to 6 months after treatment. Effects are seen within 4–6 weeks after the first session, with the final result after 3 months. Sessions are repeated every 30–45 days, with 1 to 3 sessions in total.
Your practitioner assesses the areas of concern and tailors the approach to your individual needs. Where suitable, treatment is carried out using a cannula rather than a needle, which may cause only mild discomfort.
Treatment options
- Collagen-stimulating treatment
- Skin-firming treatment
*A facial assessment is required to confirm suitability and recommended sessions.
Aftercare & follow-up
- It is a must: massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times per day for 5 days to reduce swelling, prevent nodules and disperse the product evenly
- Avoid: facial treatments such as laser and chemical peels for 2 weeks post-treatment
- Care: apply a cool compress to reduce swelling around the treated area
A follow-up appointment is recommended to ensure you are happy with the results and that optimum results have been achieved. During the follow-up, we take pictures to compare with the before pictures. We also re-book your next appointment 6–8 weeks from your first session, as per treatment protocol, so you can maintain and achieve optimum results.
