Skincare and Age-Related Skin Support
All You Need To Know
At Dr Luci Clinic, we offer a range of skin treatments designed to support your skin’s health and structure. Prior to your first appointment, we conduct a digital skin assessment using a multi-spectrum imaging system to examine elements such as surface hydration, visible pigmentation, and textural changes. This helps inform your personalised treatment plan.
During your consultation, we will discuss your concerns and goals and assess whether cosmetic treatment options may be appropriate for your needs. All treatment recommendations are guided by clinical findings and your medical history.
We offer a range of non-invasive skin support treatments, from our Dr Luci Clinic Signature Facial, which is designed to support skin barrier function and provide relaxation within a clinical setting, to non surgical facial tightening and rejuvenation.
Beautiful Skin Treatments
Introduction
At Dr Luci Clinic, we believe the first step toward effective skin care is gaining a clear understanding of your skin’s unique characteristics. Our professional skin imaging service supports the development of personalised, clinically informed care plans by identifying visual and sub-visual skin features that may influence your treatment outcomes.
We do not recommend any treatments without first assessing your skin through structured analysis and consultation with a qualified practitioner.
What Is the Observ 520x?
Skin assessment views using multi-light technology. This imaging tool is not used to diagnose medical conditions but to support aesthetic skin assessments
The Observ 520x is a professional-grade skin imaging system used to capture detailed images of the skin under various light conditions. This tool allows us to assess features such as hydration levels, texture, pigmentation patterns, and overall skin tone. It is a non-invasive, visual assessment method that assists our team in creating personalised skin care strategies.
How the Skin Imaging Process Works
You will be seated in front of the Observ 520x device, which captures a series of nine images using different light modes. These images highlight various aspects of your skin’s condition, including:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Sebum levels (oil content)
Pigmentation (e.g., sunspots, freckles)
Skin texture and pore size
Moisture content and hydration
Skin tone and overall appearance
Your practitioner will review the images with you and use this information—alongside your consultation discussion—to guide your treatment plan.
Why Skin Analysis Matters
The skin is the body’s largest organ and is affected by many internal and external factors such as stress, sleep quality, sun exposure, pollution, and temperature changes. A visual skin imaging assessment can help uncover early signs of change that may not yet be visible to the naked eye.
Benefits of Skin Imaging
Informed Planning: Helps support a personalised treatment plan based on observed skin features
Product Suitability: Aids in identifying which ingredients or products may be suitable—or unsuitable—for your skin type
Proactive Skin Support: Early visual indicators may help guide proactive skincare choices before more visible changes occur
Treatment Monitoring: A follow-up scan can help track visible changes after treatment over time
Common Skin Features Assessed
The Observ 520x may highlight characteristics such as:
Dryness or excess oil
Pigmentation and uneven tone
Pore visibility and texture irregularities
Visual features associated with sun exposure
Fine lines and emerging wrinkles
Areas of hydration imbalance
How Much Does Skin Imaging Cost?
We offer skin imaging services as a standalone consultation for $150, which includes analysis, image review, and treatment plan discussion with our clinical team.
Recommended Frequency
Most patients benefit from a follow-up skin imaging assessment at the end of their treatment plan to evaluate visible outcomes and update care strategies as needed.
Schedule a Consultation
Our approach to skin care is individualised and medically guided. Dr Luci Clinic supports patients at all life stages with data-informed treatment planning, evidence-based techniques, and a commitment to ethical, safe cosmetic care.

What Is Laser Genesis?
Laser Genesis is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses gentle laser technology to support overall skin health and appearance. It is commonly used to address visible skin concerns such as uneven tone, redness, and textural irregularities.
This procedure is suitable for a range of skin types and tones and can be performed year-round as part of an individualised skin management plan.
What Concerns Might Laser Genesis Address?
Laser Genesis may be considered by individuals seeking treatment for concerns such as:
Facial redness and visible capillaries
Fine lines and changes in skin texture
Post-acne marks or superficial scarring
General skin tone irregularities
Treatment suitability is assessed through consultation and skin imaging, as individual results and responses vary.
How Does Laser Genesis Work?
The treatment works by gently heating the upper dermal layer of the skin using laser energy. This process can help stimulate local circulation and support natural collagen activity over time. The procedure is typically described as warming and relaxing and takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.
What Can I Expect from the Treatment?
Laser Genesis does not require anaesthetic or downtime, making it a convenient option for individuals with busy schedules. While some people notice changes after a few sessions, a series of 6–12 treatments is often recommended for gradual, cumulative improvement.
All outcomes are variable. Factors such as age, skin condition, and lifestyle can influence how your skin responds.
Risks and Side Effects
As with any cosmetic procedure, Laser Genesis carries some risks, although they are generally mild and temporary. These may include:
Redness
Swelling
Warmth at the treatment site
Serious adverse effects are rare but possible and will be discussed during your consultation. Only trained professionals should perform this procedure.
Aftercare and Recovery
Most individuals return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment. You may be advised to avoid sun exposure and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+ or higher) for several days following the procedure.
Your practitioner will provide personalised aftercare instructions as part of your treatment plan.
Is This the Right Option for You?
Laser Genesis may be incorporated into a broader skincare plan that also includes other non-invasive treatments, such as skin imaging, topical skincare, or light therapies. A thorough consultation and skin analysis are essential before any treatment is recommended.
We do not compare treatment modalities or claim superiority, as each method has different mechanisms of action and suitability depending on individual clinical factors.
Booking Your Consultation
To learn whether Laser Genesis is an appropriate treatment for your skin concerns, we invite you to schedule a personalised consultation at Dr Luci Clinic. Please book online, contact our Caringbah clinic on 02 9567 0399 or email info@drluci.com.au.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses concentrated light to target and reduce unwanted hair. The laser emits energy that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, which can help impair future growth while leaving the surrounding skin intact.
This treatment may be considered by individuals seeking long-term hair reduction for areas such as the face, legs, underarms, or bikini line. All treatment plans at Dr Luci Clinic begin with a consultation to assess suitability based on skin type, hair characteristics, and medical history.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Hair grows in cycles, and laser hair removal is most effective during the anagen (active growth) phase. As hair follicles cycle through anagen, catagen (transitional), and telogen (resting) stages, multiple sessions are typically needed to address all follicles during their growth phase.
Treatment parameters and frequency are personalised based on skin tone, hair colour, and the treatment area.
Suitability and Considerations
Laser hair removal may be appropriate for both men and women with various skin types. Outcomes vary based on individual skin response, hair thickness, hormonal factors, and adherence to post-care instructions.
Prior to commencing treatment, a full skin and hair assessment will be performed by a trained practitioner to determine clinical suitability.
Is the Procedure Painful?
Most individuals describe the sensation as mild and tolerable, often compared to a brief snapping or warming feeling. Sensitivity can vary depending on the area treated and individual tolerance.
Recovery and Aftercare
There is typically no downtime following treatment. However, temporary redness or sensitivity in the treated area may occur.
Aftercare guidelines include:
Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks post-procedure
Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily
Refrain from heat-based activities (e.g., saunas, hot showers) for 24–48 hours
These measures help reduce the risk of irritation and support skin recovery.
What’s Next?
All laser hair removal treatments at Dr Luci Clinic are preceded by a consultation to review your goals, medical history, and skin characteristics.
To schedule a consultation, please book online, contact our Caringbah clinic on 02 9567 0399 or email info@drluci.com.au.

Omnilux LED Light Therapy at Dr Luci Clinic
Omnilux LED Light Therapy is a non-invasive, relaxation-oriented skin treatment that uses light-emitting diode (LED) technology to support general skin wellbeing. This treatment does not involve the use of medications, injectables, or regulated medical interventions.
It is suitable for a wide range of skin types and may be used as a standalone option or as part of a personalised skincare plan.
What Is Involved in the Treatment?
Omnilux uses specific wavelengths of visible light—most commonly red, blue, or yellow—to support different skincare goals. These sessions are often selected based on individual concerns such as dullness, uneven skin tone, or general textural irregularities.
During your consultation, we will assess your skin and recommend a light mode that aligns with your preferences and overall skin profile.
Common Uses of Omnilux LED Light Therapy
While individual responses vary, LED therapy is often used by clients seeking support for:
General skin clarity and appearance
Temporary redness
Congestion-prone skin
Overall skin balance and tone

Are Just A Click Away
Pico Genesis at Dr Luci Clinic
Note: This cosmetic service does not involve prescription products, therapeutic procedures, or surgical intervention, and may be suitable for a range of skin types
Overview Pico Genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to support the appearance and clarity of the skin. It uses ultra-short pulses of light energy (in picoseconds) to deliver targeted treatment for skin tone irregularities and pigmentation concerns. This service does not involve medications or surgery and is suitable for a range of skin types.
Common Reasons Clients Seek Pico Genesis This treatment may be suitable for individuals seeking to address:
General skin rejuvenation and brightness
Uneven skin tone or dull complexion

Post-acne skin tone variation
Please note: Pico Genesis is not intended to treat diagnosed medical conditions such as melasma, active acne, or skin diseases. Clients seeking medical treatment for such concerns should consult a registered health practitioner.
How the Treatment Works Pico Genesis uses high-intensity light pulses delivered in picoseconds to disrupt clusters of excess melanin in the skin. The energy helps fragment pigment, which the body gradually clears over time. This approach supports a clearer and more even skin appearance without damaging the surrounding tissue.
Treatment Experience
Each session typically takes 20–30 minutes.
Most clients report a mild tingling or warming sensation.
There is minimal discomfort, and no anaesthesia is required.
Treatment Course
A typical course may involve 2–3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
The number of sessions depends on individual skin goals and responses.
Periodic maintenance sessions may help prolong visible results.
Expected Results While results vary, clients may notice:
Improved clarity and luminosity
A more even skin tone
Reduction in the visibility of surface pigmentation
Full results develop gradually over a few weeks following each session.
Aftercare and Recovery
No downtime is required. Clients may resume daily activities immediately.
Mild redness or warmth may occur temporarily.
Broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen is recommended post-treatment.
Avoid direct sun exposure for at least one week after each session.
Potential Side Effects Pico Genesis is generally well tolerated. Possible, though uncommon, effects may include:
Temporary redness, swelling, or sensitivity
Rare pigment changes (e.g., hypo- or hyperpigmentation)
Rare scarring (associated with improper post-care)
Your practitioner will assess your skin and provide aftercare guidance tailored to your skin type.

Each approach has different mechanisms and indications. Your practitioner will discuss the most suitable options during consultation.
Important Compliance Notes
No therapeutic claims are made.
Treatment outcomes vary from person to person.
This is a cosmetic service and is not a substitute for medical care.

Skin Needling
What is Skin Needling?
Skin needling (also referred to as microneedling or collagen induction therapy) is a non-surgical procedure designed to support skin rejuvenation. It involves the use of a medical device with fine, sterile needles that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process is understood to stimulate the skin’s natural healing mechanisms, which may support the production of collagen and elastin. Treatment outcomes vary between individuals and depend on factors such as skin condition, individual response, and adherence to post-procedure care.
About Dermapen 4
Dermapen 4 is a microneedling device listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). It is designed to deliver controlled skin needling treatment using multiple fine needles. The device is intended for use by qualified health professionals. Any clinical or aesthetic benefits claimed must be supported by appropriate clinical justification.
It is important to note that results can differ and that patients should not expect guaranteed or immediate outcomes. Consultation with a suitably qualified practitioner is recommended to determine suitability.
Potential Applications
Microneedling is sometimes used as part of treatment plans for individuals with:
Acne-related scarring
Fine lines and age-related skin changes
Hyperpigmentation
Prominent skin pores
Stretch marks
Certain types of hair thinning (e.g., androgenic alopecia) under clinical supervision
All applications should be based on a comprehensive patient assessment. Clinical justification, informed consent, and a discussion of expected outcomes and risks must be provided prior to proceeding.
Possible Risks and Considerations
Like all medical or aesthetic procedures, microneedling carries risks. These may include:
Temporary redness, swelling, or discomfort
Bruising or minor bleeding
Skin irritation
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (especially in darker skin types)
Allergic reaction to topical agents
Risk of infection if aftercare instructions are not followed
Microneedling is not suitable for everyone. A full clinical consultation and medical history review are essential prior to undergoing treatment.
What to Expect During Treatment
A standard microneedling appointment includes:
Skin cleansing and assessment
Application of a topical anaesthetic (where appropriate)
Use of the Dermapen 4 device by a trained professional
Post-procedure application of medical-grade skincare products (where indicated)
Patients will receive individualised aftercare guidance. It is crucial to avoid sun exposure, refrain from using active skincare ingredients (e.g., AHAs, BHAs, retinoids), and follow all professional instructions for healing.
Duration of Effect and Maintenance
The duration of any aesthetic benefit may vary. While some patients report improvements after a series of sessions, there is no guarantee of specific results. Maintenance treatments may be considered in consultation with a qualified practitioner, based on ongoing assessment and patient preference.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery timelines differ, but most individuals experience mild redness and sensitivity for up to 72 hours. Proper skincare and avoidance of irritants are key to safe recovery. Patients should be counselled on avoiding strenuous activities, heat, and unprotected sun exposure in the immediate post-treatment period.
How to Begin
To determine if this treatment is appropriate for your skin concerns, please schedule a professional consultation. A personalised treatment plan, including risk assessment and clinical suitability, will be developed based on your individual needs and medical history.
Notes related to the Dermapen 4 device: Dermapen 4 Device – ARTG ID 356305
What is PRP?
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-surgical procedure that uses components from the patient’s own blood. The process involves drawing a small sample of blood, separating the platelets using a centrifuge, and re-injecting the platelet-rich component into the skin. PRP is used in medical and cosmetic contexts with the aim of supporting natural tissue repair and regeneration.
At this clinic, PRP treatments are only performed by appropriately qualified medical professionals using ARTG-listed equipment and protocols in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Suitability and Consultation
This procedure is not appropriate for everyone. Individuals with certain conditions such as active infections, blood disorders, cancers, or who are undergoing chemotherapy may not be suitable candidates. A personal consultation with a registered health practitioner is essential to determine clinical suitability, assess medical history, and ensure informed consent.
What to Expect
During the treatment:
A small volume of blood is taken
The PRP component is separated and prepared using medical-grade centrifugation
The PRP is injected into targeted areas
Each individual’s experience and response to PRP will vary. There is no guarantee of specific results. The number of treatments required will depend on individual needs and goals, and this will be discussed during your consultation.
Risks and Considerations
PRP is generally considered low risk when performed by a qualified professional under sterile conditions. Potential side effects may include:
Temporary redness, swelling or bruising at the injection site
Discomfort during or after the procedure
Risk of infection (though rare when sterile technique is followed)
Patients will receive tailored aftercare instructions following treatment.
Recovery
Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur and usually subsides within a few days. Downtime is typically minimal, but varies by individual.
Getting Started
To learn whether PRP is suitable for your goals and medical profile, please book a consultation with one of our qualified medical professionals. A personalised treatment plan will be developed following a comprehensive assessment.
Slim Drone Body Toning
What Is Slim Drone?
Slim Drone is a non-invasive body toning treatment offered at our Caringbah clinic. It involves the use of a device that applies mild electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) through a belt placed around specific areas such as the thighs, abdomen, or arms. The procedure is designed to support muscle engagement and relaxation as part of a broader wellness or aesthetic plan.
What to Consider
This treatment may be suitable for individuals seeking non-invasive body support as part of a lifestyle or aesthetic regimen. As with any cosmetic treatment, results vary between individuals. A consultation with a qualified practitioner is required to assess suitability.
How It Works
Slim Drone body toning uses a device with EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) technology. During the session, a belt containing electrodes is applied to targeted body areas. These gentle pulses may stimulate underlying muscles. Each session typically lasts around one hour.
Please note: Devices used in this treatment must be included on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) and operated in accordance with their intended use.
Expected Results and Duration
Any perceived benefits are subjective and vary between individuals. While some users report a temporary feeling of firmness, long-term outcomes depend on factors such as diet, exercise, and consistency of treatments. This treatment is not a weight-loss or cellulite cure and should not be promoted as such.
Risks and Recovery
Mild muscle fatigue or temporary tightness may occur following treatment. These effects are usually transient. Patients are provided with aftercare instructions where necessary. There is typically no downtime, and most individuals can resume normal activities immediately after the session.
Next Steps
To explore whether Slim Drone body toning is suitable for your goals, please schedule a consultation at our Caringbah clinic. Our practitioners will conduct an individual assessment and advise on an appropriate treatment plan.
What Is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal is a non-invasive procedure aimed at reducing the appearance of unwanted tattoos. The process involves using laser technology to break down tattoo ink particles, which are then naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system. Multiple sessions are typically required, and results can vary based on individual factors such as tattoo size, color, and skin type.
How Does It Work?
At our clinic, we utilize the CUTERA Enlighten system, (ARTG ID 373649), which delivers rapid laser pulses to target tattoo ink. These pulses fragment the ink particles, facilitating their gradual removal by the body’s natural processes. The number of sessions needed varies per individual and tattoo characteristics.
Treatment Sessions
The number of sessions required for optimal results depends on various factors, including tattoo age, ink color, and individual skin response. Sessions are typically spaced several weeks apart to allow for healing and ink clearance.
Aftercare Guidelines
Post-treatment care is crucial for effective healing:
Keep the area clean and dry: Avoid moisture exposure for the first 24-48 hours.
Sun protection: Shield the treated area from direct sunlight.
Avoid picking or scratching: Let any scabs or crusts heal naturally.
Moisturize: Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to soothe the skin.
Limit strenuous activities: Refrain from activities that may irritate the treated area for a few days.
Always follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner.
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects may include redness, swelling, and mild discomfort in the treated area. These typically subside within a few days. In rare cases, blistering or changes in skin pigmentation may occur. Proper aftercare minimizes these risks.
Scarring Risks
While scarring is uncommon, individuals with a history of keloids or hypertrophic scars should discuss this with their practitioner prior to treatment. Adhering to aftercare instructions reduces the likelihood of scarring.
Pain Management
Discomfort levels vary among individuals. To enhance comfort, a topical anesthetic may be applied before the procedure.
Consultation
To determine if laser tattoo removal is suitable for you, schedule a consultation with our qualified practitioners. They will assess your tattoo and skin type to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Laser Vein Reduction
What Is Laser Vein Reduction?
Laser vein reduction is a non-invasive treatment designed to reduce the appearance of visible veins, such as superficial leg veins or facial capillaries. The treatment targets unwanted vessels using focused light energy, which heats the vessel walls and causes them to collapse and fade over time.
How Does It Work?
At our clinic, we use the CUTERA Xeo laser system (ARTG ID: 136798), which delivers carefully calibrated laser energy to treat vascular lesions. The laser selectively targets blood vessels without damaging surrounding tissue. Over time, the treated veins are absorbed by the body’s natural healing processes.
Treatment Suitability
This treatment may be suitable for individuals with concerns such as:
Facial telangiectasia (broken capillaries)
Spider veins or reticular veins on the legs
Diffuse redness or vascular lesions
A consultation with a qualified practitioner is necessary to assess the type of vessels present and determine suitability. This treatment is not recommended for individuals with certain skin types or underlying medical conditions that affect vascular health.
Number of Sessions
The number of treatments required depends on the size, location, and number of visible vessels, as well as individual response. Some individuals may notice visible improvement after one session, while others may require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart.
Risks and Considerations
Laser vein reduction is generally well-tolerated, but as with any medical or cosmetic procedure, potential risks include:
Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising
Skin sensitivity
Pigment changes (temporary lightening or darkening)
Rare risk of blistering or scabbing
Your practitioner will provide individualised aftercare instructions to promote optimal healing and minimise side effects.
Aftercare
Following treatment, it is important to:
Avoid sun exposure and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily
Refrain from strenuous exercise or heat exposure (e.g., hot baths) for 24–48 hours
Avoid applying irritating skincare products to the treated area
Patients should follow all post-treatment guidelines provided by their clinician.
Consultation
To determine if laser vein reduction is suitable for your skin and vascular concerns, schedule a consultation with one of our qualified practitioners. A personalised treatment plan will be developed based on your individual assessment and medical history.
Ageing Information
We offer prescription-only cosmetic injectables, including dermal fillers, administered by qualified health professionals.
What Are Lip Augmentation Treatments?
Lip augmentation is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves the injection of a prescription-only substance formulated for soft tissue augmentation to restore or enhance the shape and volume of the lips. These treatments are classified as higher-risk non-surgical cosmetic procedures and should only be performed by suitably qualified practitioners.
At Dr Luci Clinic, all lip augmentation treatments are conducted following a medical consultation and are performed by a registered health practitioner in accordance with applicable regulations.
What Is Used in Lip Augmentation?
Various substances may be used for lip enhancement, typically involving prescription-only cosmetic injectables. One commonly used class includes substances that are similar to compounds naturally found in the human body. These treatments are prescription-only and must be administered by an appropriately authorised health professional.
We do not name or promote specific products, in accordance with TGA regulations that prohibit the advertising of prescription medicines to the public.
Potential Outcomes of Lip Augmentation
While individual experiences vary, patients may seek lip augmentation for outcomes such as:
Restoration of lip volume
Improvement in lip contour or definition
Addressing perceived asymmetry
These results are not guaranteed and will depend on individual anatomy, the amount of product used, and the method of application. All procedures carry risks, and a full consultation is required to determine suitability.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Initial Consultation:
Prior to treatment, a medical consultation is required to assess your health, expectations, and determine whether lip augmentation is appropriate for you.
Treatment Day
The area may be numbed with a topical or local anaesthetic. A qualified practitioner will then inject a prescription-only substance into specific areas of the lips. The treatment usually takes less than one hour.
Aftercare:
You may experience temporary swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites. Specific aftercare instructions will be provided to help reduce these effects and support recovery.
Recovery Information
Apply a cold compress intermittently for the first 24–48 hours to help reduce swelling.
Avoid strenuous activity, alcohol, and excessive sun exposure for 24 hours post-treatment.
Do not massage or press on the treated area unless directed by your practitioner.
Attend your follow-up consultation if advised.
When Will I See Results?
Initial swelling may give the appearance of enhanced volume immediately, but it typically takes several days for the final result to settle. Full visual outcomes are usually apparent within 7–14 days.
Lip augmentation is temporary. Maintenance treatments may be required depending on your individual response and the type of product used.
How Long Do Results Last?
The duration of effect varies. In general, results may last between six and twelve months, but this can vary due to factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and the volume of product used.
Risks and Considerations
Like all cosmetic medical procedures, lip augmentation involves risks. Potential side effects include:
Swelling and bruising
Temporary discomfort
Lumps or asymmetry
Rare but serious complications such as infection or vascular occlusion
All patients are provided with risk information during the consultation and must give informed consent prior to treatment.
Ready to Discuss Your Treatment?
All cosmetic injectable procedures must be prescribed and administered by a qualified health professional in accordance with AHPRA and TGA regulations. If you’re considering lip augmentation, we recommend booking a consultation with one of our qualified health professionals. Your medical history, goals, and suitability will be reviewed to create a personalised treatment plan.
What Are Dermal Filler Treatments?
Dermal fillers are prescription-only cosmetic medical treatments used to temporarily restore volume and structure to areas of the face. These procedures are classified as higher-risk non-surgical cosmetic procedures and are only to be performed by qualified health professionals under strict clinical protocols.
At Dr Luci Clinic, all injectable treatments are provided following a medical consultation and are carried out by registered practitioners in accordance with AHPRA and TGA regulations.
How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
Dermal fillers are administered via targeted injections beneath the skin’s surface. These treatments utilise prescription-only substances that work by adding volume to areas where natural volume loss or structural change may have occurred. Results vary between individuals, and a thorough assessment is required to determine suitability.
Types of Dermal Fillers
There are different classes of fillers used in clinical settings, often described as temporary or longer-lasting. These include substances that mimic naturally occurring compounds in the body and must be prescribed and administered by an authorised practitioner.

What Concerns Can Dermal Fillers Address?
Patients may seek dermal fillers for facial volume loss, contour irregularities, or to address signs of ageing such as wrinkles or hollowness. The goal is to support natural structure rather than to produce exaggerated or artificial effects.
Each treatment plan is personalised and designed to support the patient’s individual anatomy and goals, within clinical boundaries.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions and amount of filler required depends on the area treated, your individual anatomy, and the desired outcome. This is carefully assessed during your consultation to ensure an appropriate, safe, and medically justified treatment plan.
How Long Do Results Last?
The duration of results varies significantly depending on the product used, area treated, and individual metabolic factors. Some patients may notice effects for several months, while others require more frequent maintenance.
Maximising Your Treatment Plan
For optimal outcomes, dermal fillers may be integrated into a broader, medically guided skin care strategy. During your initial consultation, your practitioner may assess your overall skin condition and propose a clinically supported approach tailored to your needs.
We prioritise safety, informed consent, and realistic expectations in all treatment planning.
Benefits and Considerations
Patients commonly pursue dermal fillers to support facial balance or reduce the appearance of volume loss. Potential outcomes include:
Temporary improvement in the appearance of fine lines and folds
Restoration of volume in targeted areas
Enhanced facial proportions when appropriate
These results are not guaranteed and carry risks that will be discussed in full during consultation.
Risks of Dermal Fillers
Like all medical procedures, dermal fillers carry potential risks. Common side effects include swelling, bruising, and tenderness. Less common but more serious complications may include vascular occlusion, granulomas, or infection.
It is essential to undergo a comprehensive assessment and give informed consent prior to any treatment.
What to Expect After Treatment
Recovery is generally minimal, though you may notice temporary swelling, redness, or sensitivity at the injection site. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activity, sun exposure, and heat treatments for 24 hours post-treatment.
You will receive tailored aftercare instructions from your practitioner.
Dermal Fillers vs. Wrinkle Reduction Injections
Dermal fillers and wrinkle injections are distinct treatments:
Wrinkle injections relax specific facial muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.
Dermal fillers restore volume and structure to areas of the face affected by ageing or contour change.
Your practitioner will guide you in choosing the most appropriate treatment—or combination—based on your goals and clinical suitability.
Ready to Discuss Your Options?
If you’re considering dermal fillers, we recommend scheduling a consultation with one of our qualified professionals. This allows us to assess your needs, provide individualised advice, and ensure that any treatment provided is safe, appropriate, and compliant with medical regulations.
What Are Facial Contouring Treatments?
Facial contouring treatments are non-surgical cosmetic procedures designed to support volume restoration and improve structural balance in the face. These treatments may be appropriate for individuals experiencing volume loss, asymmetry, or age-related changes such as fine lines or folds.
At Dr Luci Clinic, all contouring treatments are provided following a comprehensive medical consultation and are performed by qualified, registered health practitioners in accordance with AHPRA and TGA regulations.
What Treatment Method Is Used?
One option used in facial contouring involves the prescription-only use of a collagen-stimulating injectable material administered by a trained medical professional. This substance is not a traditional dermal filler but works gradually by encouraging natural collagen production over time.
Due to TGA advertising restrictions, specific products and medicines cannot be named in public-facing materials.
This method requires a series of treatments, with effects developing progressively over several weeks to months. Treatment is individualised based on each patient’s presentation, goals, and clinical suitability.
What Outcomes Can Patients Expect?
Patients may seek facial contouring treatment to:
Address hollow areas of the cheeks or temples
Soften the appearance of certain lines or folds
Enhance facial proportions in a subtle, natural-looking way
As with all medical procedures, outcomes vary. No results can be guaranteed. A detailed consultation is required to assess your needs and determine appropriate treatment options.
Duration of Results
Depending on the individual, some results may last up to 24 months. Factors such as metabolism, treatment area, and lifestyle can influence the longevity of effects.
Potential Risks and Considerations
All injectable procedures carry risks, including swelling, bruising, tenderness, or more serious complications such as vascular occlusion or granulomas. These will be discussed in detail during your consultation. Treatments should only be performed by registered medical professionals trained in cosmetic injectables.
What to Expect Post-Treatment
Most patients experience minimal downtime. Some swelling or bruising may occur around the treated area and typically resolves within several days to a week. Your practitioner will provide specific aftercare instructions and guidance based on your treatment plan.

Overview
At Dr Luci Clinic, we offer personalised treatment options to support skin hydration, texture, and structural integrity. One option includes the use of a prescription-only injectable treatment, which works by stimulating natural collagen production. This is often referred to in clinical settings as a collagen biostimulatory injectable and is used under strict medical guidance.
We also offer topical skincare support using non-prescription products to complement injectable treatments. Due to TGA regulations, we do not advertise specific brand names or therapeutic goods containing prescription-only ingredients.
All treatment options are discussed during a medical consultation to determine suitability and ensure safety.
What Can These Treatments Help With?
Depending on the individual and their presentation, patients may seek treatment to address:
Changes in skin texture or elasticity
Localised volume loss
Visible signs of ageing such as fine lines or dullness
All outcomes are variable and no guaranteed results can be offered. Any treatment plan must be developed following clinical assessment and informed consent.
Treatment Process
The injectable treatment is typically delivered in a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, the primary effect occurs gradually over time as the body responds to the biostimulatory action.
Your practitioner may also recommend supportive skin treatments using appropriate topical products as part of an integrated care plan.
Combining Treatments
These skin support treatments may be used alone or alongside other non-surgical procedures, such as volume replacement or laser treatments. The combined approach is always tailored to the individual and based on medical need, not aesthetic desire alone.
Duration and Maintenance
The effects of collagen support injectables may develop progressively and last up to 24 months, depending on individual factors like metabolism, skin health, and lifestyle. Maintenance appointments may be recommended based on clinical review.
Risks and Considerations
As with all medical procedures, injectable treatments carry potential risks including:
Swelling
Bruising
Tenderness
Rare complications such as infection or vascular occlusion
These will be discussed in full during your consultation, and informed consent is mandatory before proceeding.
Aftercare and Recovery
Recovery is usually straightforward, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few days. You may be advised to avoid intense heat, sun exposure, and physical exertion for a short period. Your practitioner will provide aftercare instructions tailored to your specific treatment.
Next Steps
All cosmetic medical procedures must begin with a comprehensive consultation to assess your health, discuss appropriate treatment options, and explain potential risks. To schedule your personalised consultation at our Caringbah clinic, please call us at 02 9567 0399.
