What are Bio-remodelling injections?

Shellharbour Skin is excited to be one of the first clinics to offer a revolutionary new bio-remodelling injectable treatment*. It is the first of its kind and sits alone in a new class of anti-ageing treatments offering a new approach to global skin revitalisation. This treatment is suitable for all skin types and most adult patients. Although it has just been released to the Australian market, it has a proven safety record having been available for over seven years overseas with more than 4.5 million treatments completed worldwide. As we age, our skin loses volume and structure due to our body producing less collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin. These natural substances are responsible for keeping your skin supple and youthful and providing structural support. This product is a stabilised form of hyaluronic acid that has a dual action. It both deeply hydrates, as well as stimulates collagen production. Immediately after injection – and for the months after – fine lines and areas of laxity are flooded with hydration. The cells in the dermis layer of the skin are stimulated to produce more collagen and elastin. As a result, skin looks and feels more hydrated, youthful, and vibrant. Because of the regenerative effects of the injection, the treatment is best completed in two stages 1 month apart, to yield the best, long-lasting outcomes. Priced at $645 per treatment, with 2 treatments recommended 1 month apart.

Consultations for Skin Elasticity

What are Consultations for Skin Elasticity?

Shellharbour Skin is pleased to offer consultations for an innovative aesthetic option*. This approach is the first of its kind, representing a new category of consultations designed to explore options for the appearance of your skin. These consultations are suitable for a wide range of individuals and skin types. While this option is new to the Australian market, it is a well-established approach in many countries, with extensive global use over the past seven years.

As part of the natural ageing process, the skin’s composition changes. The body’s production of substances like collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin—which contribute to the skin’s texture and firmness—may decrease over time. Our consultations provide a space to discuss these changes and understand the options available to you.

During your consultation, we will discuss approaches that support your skin’s natural processes. We will explore the characteristics of different options, including those that utilise specific formulations of hyaluronic acid. The goal is to provide you with clear information, helping you understand how various approaches work and what you can expect from the experience.

A typical plan, which will be discussed in detail during your consultation, often involves an initial session followed by a second session approximately one month later. This structured approach is designed to ensure continuity of care and a comprehensive assessment of your journey.

Priced at $645 per session, with a typical plan involving two sessions scheduled one month apart.

Understanding Consultations for Skin Elasticity

These consultations are designed for individuals who wish to explore options for their skin’s appearance, with a specific focus on elasticity and texture. In your one-on-one discussion with our clinician, we will review various approaches available at our clinic and assess your suitability.

The conversation may cover options that utilise hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the body. We will explain how these differ from other services, such as Facial Volume Consultations, which address different aesthetic concerns. Our objective is to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of your choices and to develop a plan that aligns with your personal aesthetic goals.

What to Expect During Your Consultation

During your appointment, we will explain the process in detail. If you decide this option is right for you and choose to proceed, the session typically involves a series of small applications at specific points on the face, known as bio-aesthetic points. We can also discuss the suitability of this approach for other areas of concern, such as the neck, décolletage, and hands.

Your appointment, which can include both the initial consultation and the session itself if you choose to proceed, is scheduled for 30 minutes. We prioritise your comfort throughout the experience, and we will discuss options to ensure this. Following a session, it is common to notice small, temporary raised areas at the application points, which typically resolve within a few hours. We will provide detailed guidance on what to expect post-session, including when you can resume your normal activities.

This type of consultation focuses on skin elasticity and texture, distinguishing it from our Facial Volume Consultations, which address different concerns related to facial contours. During our discussion, we can clarify these differences to help you make an informed decision.

What is the Cost?

The cost for a single session is $645 per area. We can discuss package options if you are considering other services. A follow-up session is often discussed for 4-6 weeks after the initial one. You can book online, or our reception team is available to answer any further questions or to schedule a complimentary initial consultation to explore your options.

Post-Consultation Timeline

After your session, the focus shifts to supporting your skin and monitoring your progress. The full effect of any aesthetic plan is typically evaluated over time. We generally schedule a review to discuss your experience 4-6 weeks after your initial session. A long-term plan, which may include follow-up consultations once or twice a year, can be developed to align with your personal goals and ensure continuity of care.

Aftercare Guidance

To support your skin after your session, your clinician will provide you with a detailed aftercare plan. Adhering to these guidelines is an important part of the process. Your plan may include recommendations such as:

Not wearing makeup for 24 hours after your session.
Avoiding strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours.
Not using active skincare products for at least five days post-session.
Avoiding other skin consultations or procedures that could apply pressure to the skin, such as microdermabrasion and facial massages, for four weeks.
Avoiding inverted poses and keeping your head elevated for the first four hours after your session.

Potential Risks and Complications

It is important to understand that any aesthetic service has potential risks and side effects. During your consultation, we will have a thorough discussion about these to ensure you can make a fully informed decision. For the options discussed in a Consultation for Skin Elasticity, these may include:
