What concerns it may be used for

Placement is a clinic procedure. Technique is not published for self-use.

Who may be considered

People considering this service need an in-person or clinic assessment. Medical history, medicines, skin type and the specific concern all affect whether it is appropriate.

Safety and clinical assessment

Injectable and regenerative aesthetic procedures must be assessed clinically. They are not suitable for everyone and are not intended for self-treatment. Discuss risks, aftercare and alternatives before any decision. Cosmetic procedures carry risks. A consultation should cover indications, risks, benefits, alternatives, realistic expectations, recovery and cost. Suitability, treatment parameters and expected outcomes vary by skin type, concern and clinical assessment. Individual results vary.
