Anti-agingMelbourne 抗衰紧肤
What is it
Melbourne offers a wide range of non-surgical anti-aging treatments. Thermage uses radiofrequency to tighten skin and stimulate collagen. Ultherapy and HIFU use focused ultrasound for lifting. RF microneedling (e.g. Morpheus8, Potenza) combines microneedling with radiofrequency for skin texture and fine lines. Anti-wrinkle injections (Botox) relax dynamic wrinkles like crow's feet and forehead lines.
Who is it for
Suitable from your mid-20s onward — earlier for prevention, later for correction. Good candidates include anyone noticing facial sagging, fine lines, loss of jawline definition, or deepening nasolabial folds. No single treatment does everything, so many people combine two or more for best results.
Recovery time
Anti-wrinkle injections and Thermage have virtually no downtime — you can go straight back to your day. RF microneedling causes redness and mild swelling for 2–3 days. Ultherapy may cause temporary tenderness for up to a week.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which anti-aging treatment should I choose?
It depends on your main concern. Thermage is best for overall skin tightening and contouring. Anti-wrinkle injections target specific lines (forehead, crow's feet, frown lines). RF microneedling improves skin texture, pores, and fine lines. Many people start with one and add others over time. A consultation with an experienced practitioner can help you prioritise.
How much does Botox cost in Melbourne?
Anti-wrinkle injections in Melbourne are typically priced per unit or per area, ranging from $200–$600 per treatment area. Common areas include the forehead, frown lines, and crow's feet. Some clinics offer multi-area packages.
How often should I get Thermage?
Thermage results build over 2–6 months as new collagen forms, and typically last 1–2 years. Most practitioners recommend a maintenance session every 12–18 months to sustain results.
