FAQs

GENERAL

  • Unfortunately, we cannot provide you with cosmetic injectable treatments if you are under the age of 18, pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active infection or an uncontrolled medical condition.

  • Unless medically required, cease taking medications like Aspirin and Neurofen, avoid alcohol and excercise 24 hours before treatment.

    Refer to our pre-treatment care guide on our website for more details.

  • There is no down time for Anti-Wrinkle and Bio-remodeling, downtime is minimal for PRP and Microneedling. Dermal filler may require 4 weeks to fully settle, though after 2 weeks all the bruising and swelling should have subsided.

    We always recommend planning ahead and have your treatment 2-4 weeks before any important events.

  • It’s important to note that the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) imposes strict regulations on promoting scheduled medications.

    Therefore, we are unable to mention specific brand names and pricing, or directly discuss our medicine-based anti-aging treatments without prior consultation.

    At Bare Aesthetics, consultations are always complimentary. Following your consultation, you will be given access to our client hub, where you'll find our price guide, treatment information, and seasonal promotions all in one convenient place.

    Feel free to schedule an appointment online or reach out to us with any questions.

  • At Bare Aesthetics, we only use TGA approved, market-leading products for our clients. Due to TGA guidelines, we are not permitted to list the particular product we use, however we can certainly provide you with full product information during our consultation.

  • Certainly! For treatments over $500, Afterpay is available to all of our clients.

  • Wrinkle reduction and skin remodeling injections will feel like a slight pinch or sting. While volume replacing treatments can be slightly more uncomfortable.

    Rest assured, all of our premium volumising products are pre-mixed with a numbing agent, we also use a very fine needle to minimise pain, and a strong topical numbing cream is always used for lip treatments. For other areas, it may be requested.

    We also offer a range of tools to help with pain and discomfort, such as a vibration device. Our treatments are generally well tolerated by our clients.

WRINKLE REDUCTION

  • Anti-wrinkle injections act as a muscle relaxant, it blocks the chemical signal between the nerve and muscle, which in turn temporarily deactivating the target muscle.

    When placed strategically into specific wrinkle-causing muscles, it can soften and minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

    In fact, it is actually a great way to prevent deep lines from forming in the first place.

  • After your treatment, the anti-wrinkle will normally start to work from day 2-4, reaching full results at 2 weeks. However, the masseter muscles (facial slimming) can take up to 8 weeks to atrophy.

  • This depends on the treated area, dose administered, product used, your metabolism and physical activity level. Generally, the average time for anti-wrinkle is between 3-5 months.

  • Anti-wrinkle does not permanently affect the face and will not age you further if you eventually decide to stop having treatment.

    Once the effects of the treatment wear off completely, the treated muscles gradually regain their movement, strength, and size. Consequently, lines may reform, and symptoms may recur.

VOLUME AND SHAPE

  • Dermal fillers are made from Hyaluronic Acid (HA), which is found naturally in our skin. Fillers also come in various densities, which we utilise depending on the treatment area.

    Not only do they have an incredible ability to instantly enhance certain facial features, they are also one of the most effective ways to replace volume loss, smooth out fine lines and rejuvenate the complexion.

    Popular treatment areas include: Lips, Cheeks, Chin, Marionettes, Preauricular, Accordion lines, Jawline.

  • Results are instantly visible after treatment. For the next 8 weeks, they will continue to improve, resulting in a seamless look once it has fully settled into the skin.

  • We recommend consulting your GP and commence antiviral tablets such as Valtrex to prevent an outbreak.

  • This depends on the treated area, dose administered, product used, your metabolism and physical activity level. Generally, dermal fillers can last between 6-24 months.

  • Dermal fillers are not permanent, and their duration depends on factors such as the type of filler used, the area treated, and individual metabolic factors.

    Over time, the body naturally absorbs the filler. Upon discontinuing dermal filler treatments, the treated area will gradually return to its baseline appearance. This process is not sudden, and the changes are usually subtle.

    It's important to note that the aging process continues in the areas where the filler was placed. Consequently, you may notice additional volume loss as the filler gradually diminishes or if you opt to have the filler dissolved.

BIO-REMODELING

  • It is based on advanced technology that engages with the body’s receptors and stimulates collagen growth and a much more natural reaction.

    The result is a healthier and more elastic dermis, which fills and volumizes more naturally.

    Popular treatment areas: Face, neck, décolletage, hands and abdomen.

  • It works by stimulating 4 variants of collagen and elastin through the slow release of HA.

    This process improves skin tone, texture, hydration and overall radiance. It can help to increase firmness and elasticity and promote healthier and softer-looking skin.

    This is why we do not label bio-remodeling as a skin booster as it also boasts an impressive tightening/lifting effect on the skin.

  • It is not a dermal filler, rather a new injectable category was opened: bio-remodeling.

    Unlike HA dermal fillers, bio-remodeling flows easily and distributes itself within the skin tissue, rather than being locally placed by an injection.

    The texture is honey-like, and it spreads very easily into the skin. It is a skin treatment and does not alter the facial contour like HA dermal filler.

  • Bio-remodeling treatment is given in two sessions, one month apart.

    If the skin still shows high levels of ageing, another session can be performed 2 months after the second treatment. For optimal results, the treatment cycle can be performed twice a year.

  • The treatment is injected in 10 points total using a special technique to maximise treatment comfort.

MICRONEEDLING

  • Our medical grade, industry-leading microneedling device glides over the skin creating millions of fine fractional channels on the surface of the skin.

    These channels will carry topical nutrients deep into the skin, and in turn trigger our body’s natural response to healing. The result is an increased production of collagen and elastin, resurfacing and retexurising and overall skin renewal.

  • For skin rejuvenation, we recommend 3-6 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart.

    For acne scarring, pigmentation and strech marks, we recommend 4-8 treatments, 6-8 weeks apart.

    Please book in a skin consultation to determine exactly how many treatments you will need.

  • Localised redness may last up to 2 days.

    We will apply a clinical grade, tinted recovery lotion with SPF on the treated area immediately post procedure, which will further reduce visible redness.

    Microneedling is often referred to as a ‘lunchtime procedure’ as you are able to carry on with your daily routine immediately afterwards.

  • Microneedling is generally well tolerated, most people don’t experience any discomfort after the procedure.

    There may be some sensitivity or mild tenderness in the treated areas. In most cases, this only lasts for 24-48 hours.

  • A full face can be treated in as little as 10 minutes.

    However, we always include a clinical grade recovery mask + LED light therapy post procedure, for this reason please allow 30 minutes for your appointment.

EXOSOMES

  • The exosomes carry important components within them like proteins and RNA from one cell to another cell,

    Transferring numerous growth factors and cytokines that have shown signs of tissue repair and improve skin cells.

  • We recommend 3 treatments, 4 weeks apart. Maintenance every 3-6 months.

    Please book in a skin consultation to determine exactly how many treatments you will need.

  • Localised redness may last up to 2 days.

    Swelling may occur around sensitive areas, such as the eyes, and can be expected to subside within a short timeframe.

    Results are seen 4 weeks post treatment.

  • Exosome therapy is performed with microneedling, the procedure is generally well tolerated, and most people don’t experience any discomfort after the procedure.

    There may be some sensitivity or mild tenderness in the treated areas. In most cases, this only lasts for 24-48 hours.

  • Ideal candidates for Exosome therapy are those experiencing early signs of ageing, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and reduced skin elasticity.

    It is also highly effective for individuals facing hair thinning or scalp health issues.

    This treatment is particularly beneficial for those seeking a non-surgical, minimally invasive option with natural-looking results.

    People looking for a boost in collagen production, improved skin texture, or a solution to hair loss will find Exosome therapy an excellent choice.

REJURAN

  • Rejuran is the brand name for a popular treatment that contains Polynucleotides, which are DNA fragments derived from salmon. These Polynucleotides promote skin regeneration, improve elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles when injected into the skin. Rejuran injections are often used as part of anti-aging and skin rejuvenation procedures, especially when there will be benefit from additional collagen stimulation in the upper layers of the skin.

    Launched in Korea in 2014, Rejuran was exclusively used in Asian countries such as Korea and Singapore, before being approved in Australia in July 2023.

  • Skin booster promotes mainly skin hydration and collagen boosting, while REJURAN® works on skin restoration and activating cell growth, both for skin revitalisation and hydration.

  • The downtime for Rejuran treatment is typically minimal, and many individuals are able to resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure.

    Due to there being micro-injection points there may be some minor redness and visible bumps. These usually subside within 24 to 48hrs.

    Although rare, there may be some bruising due the puncturing of the skin.

    However, the exact duration of downtime can vary among individuals, and it is influenced by factors such as individual skin sensitivity, the specific technique used, and any additional treatments performed simultaneously.

  • Topical anaesthetic cream is applied prior to treatment to numb the area to be treated.

    Following treatment there may be a little temporary discomfort around the injection sites as the anaesthetic cream wears off.

  • Rejuran is suitable for patients looking to address fine lines and overall skin texture and health. It is especially beneficial for individuals experiencing more noticeable signs of ageing skin, such as the following:

    Fine lines and wrinkles: Used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making it suitable for individuals looking to address signs of ageing.

    Uneven skin tone and texture: If you have concerns about uneven skin tone or texture, Rejuran injections may be beneficial in promoting a smoother and more even complexion.

    Loss of elasticity: Individuals experiencing a loss of skin elasticity, which can contribute to sagging or less firm skin, may find Rejuran injections helpful in stimulating collagen production and improving skin tightness.

    Overall skin rejuvenation: Whether you want to enhance the overall quality of your skin or address specific concerns, Rejuran is designed to promote skin regeneration and improve its overall condition.

NCTF SKIN BOOSTER

  • The NCTF135 HA Skin Booster is a sterile solution containing 59 active ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids, co-enzymes, and antioxidants that naturally enhance your skin's health and glow. Suitable for areas like the under-eye, face and neck.

    This treatment is designed to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, it kick-starts natural collagen production while boosting hydration.

  • In the realm of aesthetic treatments, the NCTF135 HA Skin Booster has garnered a reputation as the 'Chanel' of Skinboosters. This sophisticated moniker is a testament to the product's high-quality formulation, innovative technology, and remarkable results, drawing parallels to the high standards, elegance, and luxury associated with the iconic fashion house, Chanel.

  • Immediately after the treatment, patients may notice small little mosquito-like bumps at the injection sites. Patients can usually return to their regular activities immediately after the procedure. However, slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site is normal and typically resolves within 48 hours.

    Most patients start seeing noticeable improvements in their skin's texture and elasticity within a week of the first treatment. For optimal results, a course of three treatments spaced about 3-4 weeks apart is often recommended.

  • The treatment involves tiny injections of the Skinbooster into the skin. It is usually administered using a very fine needle, making it a minimally invasive procedure.

    Numbing cream is applied prior to the treatment to minimize discomfort. Most patients find the sensation of the injection like tiny ant bites. It often takes between 15 to 30 minutes to complete a session.
