Cosmetic medicine refers to a group of medical treatments that can only be performed by trained doctors and nurses following consultation with a prescribing doctor. At Inigo Cosmetic we offer consultations for those wishing to discuss treatment options for fine lines and wrinkles, volume loss, hydration, lip volume, collagen loss, skin texture and elastic, hyperhydrosis, facial asymmetry, and more.
During a cosmetic medicine consultation at Inigo Cosmetic, Brisbane, you can expect to have a conversation with your treating practitioner about your goals regarding your appearance. They will undertake a thorough assessment of your medical history, allergies, and any medications you are currently taking to ensure that you are a suitable candidate for cosmetic treatments. Your treating practitioner will examine the areas you are interested in treating and offer recommendations on the best course of action to achieve your desired results. They will also discuss the potential risks and benefits of each treatment option and answer any questions you may have. Finally, your practitioner will work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan that considers your unique needs and goals.
COSMETIC MEDICINE CONSULTATION INFORMATION
Find out about what you can discuss during a cosmetic medicine consultation at Inigo Cosmetic in Brisbane.
The development of lines and wrinkles on the skin is a normal part of ageing. Over time, our levels of collagen and elastin often decrease, resulting in thinner, drier skin as well as fine lines and wrinkles.
During a cosmetic consultation for fine lines and wrinkles, you will have the opportunity to discuss treatments aimed at reducing the appearance of, or slowing the onset of facial lines and wrinkles.
During your consultation your practitioner will discuss the timing and longevity of any recommended cosmetic treatments as well as the risks and aftercare involved.
It is important to note that the outcomes of your cosmetic treatments may not be immediately noticeable. Typically, depending on the treatment, you should anticipate results to take effect within about two to three days, with visible results usually occurring in around two weeks. The effects of most cosmetic treatments are temporary, typically lasting for about three to four months, though this duration may vary depending on the individual.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
All cosmetic procedures carry risks. As such, during your consultation your doctor, nurse or therapist will discuss with you the possible risks associated with any cosmetic treatments recommended, including:
- General risks of injection: This includes swelling, bleeding, bruising, haematoma, and damage to underlying structures. This could cause ongoing problems with appearance, sensation or function and may require medical intervention to treat. In rare cases, such problems are permanent.
- Infection: Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections can occur post-procedure. Rarely, infections can occur months later as biofilm reactions. Injections in the lip area may trigger a recurrence of cold sores, which may require treatment.
- Reactions: Reactions rarely occur but can include an immediate reaction causing swelling and, very rarely, life-threatening anaphylaxis. Delayed reactions localised to the skin can cause nodules, lumps, or abscesses.
