Cosmetic Treatments
There are two underlying factors that cause signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. The first is your genetic makeup and the other is environmental damage. Under the AHPRA Guidelines for registered medical practitioners who perform cosmetic surgery and procedures (1 July 2023), you will be required to give formal consent and undergo a screening process prior to some treatments. Our Registered Nurse, Kellie Jackson will provide you with a treatment plan at your cosmetic consultation.
Cosmetic Consultations
BMLA offers a range of cosmetic treatments to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and volume loss. Treatments can assist to stablilise the skin structure, attract and bind water and contribute to the elastic properties of the skin.
A consultation with Kellie Jackson will provide you with an individual treatment plan and associated costs.
Some treatments can also be used to treat therapeutic conditions such as involuntary muscle spasms, TMJ (discomfort or pain in the jaw) and hayfever symptoms.
-
Some treatments require the use of Schedule 4 prescription medications. These medications can have risks and side effects.
Short term effects can include headache, slight swelling, bruising, adjacent muscle weakness which may cause temporary drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow, itching and tenderness to the area treated.
These are usually resolved within a few days. You will be fully informed of risks as part of your initial consent appointment.
You cannot receive some cosmetic treatments if you are pregnant or suffer from any neurological disease.
-
Appropriate aftercare will depend on the cosmetic treatment that you have received. You will be given full aftercare details at each of your appointments.
Bio Remodelling
This treatment stimulates the growth of collagen, allowing the body to naturally regenerate skin elasticity.
Common areas of treatment would be face, neck and decolletage.
-
You may experience redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness and itching to the area of treatment. These effects commonly resolve within a few days. You will be fully informed of risks as part of your initial consent appointment.
You cannot receive this treatment if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or under 18 years of age (without parental consent).
-
You should not apply make up for 12 hours after the injections and for two (2) weeks should avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, UV light, freezing temperatures, saunas, Turkish baths, massage and pressure to the treatment site.
Liposculpt
Liposculpt is a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. This treatment is used to reduce localised fatty deposits by breaking down the fat and aiding the body to naturally absort it. It is not used for weight loss, but rather for body sculpting. This treatment may be used in conjunction with other treatments to maximise results. Our nurse will assist you with a treatment plan to help you achieve your goals.
The areas of the body than can be treated are the abdomen, chin, inner thighs, knees and upper arms.
-
Rare side effects can include nodules, lumps and skin ulcerations.
Common side effects can include pain lasting up to an hour, swelling, bruising, tenderness and itching. All side effects should only last for up to 4-5 days. A treatment review is recommended two (2) weeks after treatment.
-
Cool compresses may be applied, mild pain relief such as paracetamol may be taken for pain and compression garments may help to minimise discomfort. Antihistamines could be taken for itching and regular and gentle massage will help speed up the breakdown of fat cells. A healthy diet and exercise is recommended.
Mono & Long Threads
At Border Medical Laser and Aesthetics, we offer an alternative to surgical facelift procedures. A thread lift is designed to lift or elevate the skin achieving a natural, tighter and younger looking appearance. PDO threads are placed under the skin to reposition the skin at a lifted or higher level.
The major benefit of a thread lift is that it is designed to complement the natural contours of the face, giving a more natural and refreshed look. This treatment can be combined with other treatments.
-
There may be some down time after this procedure with some swelling and bruising. Most patients can return to their daily activities after treatment.
Avoid alcohol for 7 days prior to the procedure, do not smoke for 2 days before and 2 weeks after treatment.
This treatment is not recommended if you are pregnant, have an autoimmune deficiency, have a bleeding disorder or have keloid or hypertrophic scarring.
-
Heat inducing activities and strenuous exercise should be avoided for 2 weeks. Avoid touching and massaging the treatment area unless instructed to do so by our practitioner. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and sleep on your back, slightly elevated.
Hayfever Control
This treatment involves a prescribed medication being sprayed (or atomised) into the nasal passages, blocking the nerve endings in the nasal passage stopping the onset of symptoms and reducing inflammation of the nasal lining.
This treatment dramatically reduces the symptoms of hay fever, providing much needed relief for hay fever sufferers across the region. Effects of this treatment can last 4-6 months and for most patients one treatment a year is adequate for relief.
-
Directly after treatment you may have hay fever like symptoms, but this only lasts for approximately 10 minutes.
