Patients today have access to a wider range of advanced skin treatment options, including non-surgical cosmetic procedures that may involve a prescriptive approach following a consultation with a qualified health practitioner.

Over the past decade, there has been growing interest and acceptance of non-surgical aesthetic treatments as part of broader age management strategies. Many individuals are exploring these options to support their skin health and appearance over time. All treatments should be considered carefully in consultation with a practitioner, who can provide guidance based on clinical assessment and individual goals.

What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are professional skin treatments in which a trained practitioner applies a carefully selected acid solution—such as lactic or salicylic acid—to the skin. The goal is to exfoliate and remove superficial layers to support skin renewal. The type and strength of the peel are tailored to your individual skin condition and concerns.

What to Expect
Peels may assist in improving skin texture and tone by encouraging natural exfoliation and promoting more effective absorption of skincare products. Some individuals notice a brighter, more refreshed appearance following treatment.

Superficial chemical peels typically involve little to no downtime. Temporary redness, dryness, or mild flaking may occur within the first day or two after treatment. Your practitioner will advise you on appropriate aftercare to support optimal skin recovery.

2. Skin Micro Needling

Microneedling is a well-established skin treatment designed to support collagen production and promote natural skin renewal. It involves the use of fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. A series of treatments is often recommended to help improve overall skin texture and tone.

What to Expect
After treatment, many individuals report that their skin feels smoother and appears more refreshed. Temporary redness and mild flaking may occur, typically resolving within a few days. Results vary based on skin type, condition, and treatment goals, and a consultation is required to determine the best plan for your needs.

3. Laser Toning Facial

Laser toning uses gentle, targeted bursts of light to support skin rejuvenation. The treatment delivers light energy into the deeper layers of the skin, where it is absorbed to help stimulate natural skin processes. Most individuals describe the sensation as a gradual, comfortable warmth.

This treatment is often selected for its minimal disruption and is suitable as a quick, in-clinic option. Best results are typically seen over a series of sessions.

What to Expect
Downtime is minimal. Some individuals may experience temporary warmth or mild redness following the procedure, which generally resolves quickly. Your practitioner will provide guidance on aftercare and frequency based on your skin goals.

Certain cosmetic medical treatments may be prescribed to address areas of concern such as the frown lines, forehead, crow’s feet, or jaw muscles involved in grinding. These treatments are only administered following a detailed consultation, during which your practitioner will assess your concerns and discuss the available options, expected outcomes, risks, and timing.

All wrinkle and volume treatments at our clinic are classified as medical procedures. They are performed by a registered health practitioner, Dr Giulia D'Anna (BDSc, MRACDS), in accordance with current clinical and regulatory guidelines.

5. HIFU

For individuals seeking non-invasive options, device-based treatments can offer a way to support skin health and firmness without the use of injectables. High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) delivers targeted ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of the skin, which may stimulate the body’s natural collagen production.

At Dermal Distinction, we use a HIFU device—designed to deliver controlled ultrasound energy at various depths to support treatment precision and comfort.

Key Features of HIFU:
+ Targets multiple skin layers to support collagen stimulation
+ Adjustable treatment depth to suit individual skin needs
+ Considered for skin laxity and signs of ageing
+ No needles or downtime required
+ Results develop gradually and may be maintained with periodic follow-up

A consultation is essential to determine if HIFU is appropriate for your skin and to create a personalised treatment plan based on your goals.

6. Venus Viva RF

Venus Viva RF is a fractional radiofrequency treatment designed to support skin rejuvenation through controlled, targeted energy. Using a stamp-like motion, fine micro-pins deliver RF energy into the skin to create small areas of controlled thermal stimulation. This process activates the skin’s natural healing response and may help promote collagen production over time.

Because the treatment targets only small fractions of the skin at a time, it typically involves less downtime compared to fully ablative procedures.

What to Expect After Treatment
You may experience redness, mild swelling, and skin flaking or peeling for several days following the procedure—commonly lasting up to a week. Your practitioner will provide you with post-care instructions to support your skin through recovery and optimise your treatment results.

A consultation is required to assess suitability and develop a personalised treatment plan.
