Skin Quality Treatments
At Refine Medical Aesthetics we place great emphasis on creating the foundation for healthy and beautiful skin even before more advanced cosmetic treatments are considered. Doctor Findlay believes that great skin quality is the bedrock in which successful aesthetic results are achieved.
Having aesthetic procedures without building a good skin foundation is akin to constructing a house on unstable ground. Here at Refine Medical Aesthetics, we have dedicated long hours analysing published dermatology research for a range of skin-care products and treatments to ensure that only products that actually work are recommended to you.
Options Available
​
Science-based Skincare
​
Science-based skincare promotes the restoration of collagen in the skin and can soften the effects of pigmentation, pore size, fine-lines and blemishes. Typically, skin care treatment alone show improvement to skin texture and reduction of fine lines by 8 weeks with appropriate application. Anti-aging effects begin to show within 9 to 12 months. Treatment of deeper wrinkles that have etched into the skin and scarring often cannot be fully removed however skincare paired with other appropriate treatments can significantly soften the effect of these imperfections by restoring a more refreshed appearance. A complete skin-care routine (considering both prescription and non-prescription options) will be provided to you by Doctor Findlay based on your individual skin assessment.
​
Bio-threads
​
Bio-threads are fine surgical-grade self-dissolving sutures that are inserted in the subdermal layer of the skin. The presence of the threads prompts the body to activate collagen production. With correct application this treatment can significantly improve skin quality, texture and smoothness over wrinkled areas and acne scars, and, tighten sagging skin on the face and neck. Bio-threads are TGA approved and depending on the type of threads used, results can typically last between six months and two years.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
​
Plasma rejuvenation is ideal for people who are looking for 'all-natural' treatments. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments use your body's own regenerative capabilities to improve skin texture, radiance and remove the appearence of crapey skin. This therapy utilises a concentrated form of platelets extracted from your own blood plasma which stimulates collagen production and growth factors. PRP treatments are science-backed and well established in the cosmetic and medical field. The effect of the treatment is minimally invasive, with little to no downtime, making it an ideal option for those seeking natural and long-lasting results.
