Considering injectables? What to know first
If you're thinking about injectables, the most useful thing to understand is the conversation that comes first. Here's what to expect — and what to ask.
It begins with a consultation — by law, and by choice
Cosmetic injectables are prescription-only medicines in Australia, which means they can't be advertised to the public and can only be considered after a private, individual assessment with a qualified practitioner. So you won't find prices, product names or before-and-after photos here — and that's deliberate.
We see that as a good thing. A proper conversation is exactly where any decision about injectables should start.
What a consultation actually involves
A consultation is relaxed and entirely no-pressure. We listen to what's prompting your interest, take a careful medical history, and assess your individual situation.
From there, a qualified practitioner explains honestly whether anything is suitable for you, what it would and wouldn't involve, and the considerations and risks — so you can make an informed decision in your own time. Sometimes the honest answer is that something other than injectables suits you better, and we'll say so.
Good questions to ask (anywhere you go)
Who will be performing the treatment, and what are their qualifications? Is it medically supervised?
What does the process involve, what are the risks, and what's the aftercare? What happens if I have concerns afterwards, or change my mind? A clinic worth trusting will welcome every one of these questions and never rush you toward a decision.
Our approach
At SkinMedics, injectables sit within a medically supervised practice, and the consultation is genuinely about you — not a sales conversation.
You're always free to take time, ask anything, and say no. The best outcome is the one you feel completely comfortable with — book a consultation whenever you're ready.

Common questions
Why can't I see prices or product names?
Cosmetic injectables are prescription-only medicines in Australia and can't be advertised to the public, so specifics are discussed privately in a consultation rather than shown online.
