Consultations for appearance

Scheduled medication
Dr Caswell offers consultations for your appearance.  Being a medication, TGA regulations do not allow the naming of medicines, however we can inform you that four (2024) preparations are available in Australia.

These medications fall into a TGA class where:

  • A doctor must review the patient, taking a full medical history and examination of the regions to be treated;
  • A doctor must prescribe treatment for the individual patient;
  • The treatment should be conducted in a DA medical premise or environment.
  • Guidelines for cosmetic treatments can be found on the Medical Board of Australia website.

Dr Caswell personally attends to all of her patients.

The Procedure
Dr Caswell insists on a consultation with every new patient considering treatment, during the consultation it is important that a full medical history and photographs are take, the patient discusses their needs.  During consultation with Dr Caswell will advise the dose of and type of treatment recommended.

Treatment may be administered on the first visit if the patient has been assessed as suitable for treatment.

Depending on their individual characteristics, this medication can last between 3-7 months. 

Pitfalls

  • Incorrect dose – will not give you the result you would like (individually determined depending on the problem the patient is attempting to correct, their age, skin laxity and expression used);
  • Bruising may occur, but resolves in time, cover can be used;

  • If you discontinue use you will revert to your previous visage.
