§ 01Consultation First

Why a Consultation Is Non-Negotiable

In Australia, cosmetic injectables are prescription-only treatments. Here’s what that means for you.

Prescription Required

An Ahpra-registered medical practitioner must assess you and prescribe the treatment. A beauty therapist cannot legally prescribe or administer injectables.

Medical History Review

Your practitioner reviews allergies, medications, previous treatments and pregnancy status. This isn’t a formality — it’s how they determine if injectables are safe for you.

Personalised Plan

No two faces are identical. A consultation maps your facial anatomy, discusses your goals, and designs a treatment plan tailored to your bone structure and muscle movement.

§ 02Treatment Types

Types of Injectable Treatments

All are prescription-only. Suitability is determined at consultation.

§ 04FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. In Australia, cosmetic injectables are prescription-only treatments. An Ahpra-registered medical practitioner must assess your suitability and prescribe before treatment. Any clinic offering injectables without a consultation is not following TGA guidelines.
Wrinkle treatments relax muscles to reduce dynamic lines. Dermal fillers add volume to areas like cheeks, lips or jawline. Both require a consultation to determine which is appropriate for your goals.
Be cautious of significantly discounted injectables. TGA-registered products have a baseline cost. Extremely low pricing may indicate grey-market products, diluted formulations, or unqualified injectors. Always verify TGA registration and Ahpra credentials.
This depends on the clinic and the assessment. Some clinics offer same-day treatment if you’re cleared. However, a reputable clinic will never rush the consultation or skip medical history review.
