Subtle. Balanced. Individualised.

That’s Nurse Patricia’s philosophy 🤍

With 20 years of clinical experience, Patricia takes a personalised approach to cosmetic treatments, offering anti-wrinkle, volumising and bio-remodelling options tailored to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Her priority is always patient education — ensuring you feel informed, comfortable and confident in your treatment decisions.

Cosmetic treatments are not one-size-fits-all. A consultation allows time to assess your concerns, discuss options and develop a treatment plan suited specifically to you.

To learn more or book a consultation with Nurse Patricia, contact our reception team.

Suitability for treatment is determined during consultation. Results and longevity vary between individuals.

Your skin journey should always start with a conversation 🤍

Before any treatment, Danni takes the time to thoroughly assess your skin — discussing your concerns, medical history, skin type and current routine to ensure we recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for you.

A comprehensive consultation is one of the most important steps in achieving healthy, balanced skin. It allows us to explain:
• suitable treatment options
• expected outcomes
• potential risks and downtime
• pre and post care requirements
• how to maintain your results long term

Every skin is different — which is why personalised planning matters.

If you’re ready to better understand your skin and explore tailored treatment options, book a consultation with Danni today.

Because trust, education and personalised care matter just as much as the treatment itself.

If you’ve been thinking about addressing your skin concerns, booking a consultation is the first step.

Our Director, Dr Peter Widdowson, recently attended a two-day plastic surgery workshop in Melbourne, joining more than 200 colleagues for in-depth discussions on current developments in facial rejuvenation surgery.

The program featured presentations from three specialist plastic surgeons from the United States, with a strong focus on facelift techniques — including deep plane facelifts — and the evolving understanding of facial ageing.

As a surgeon with a special interest in facial rejuvenation, Dr Widdowson values ongoing education and collaboration to ensure his knowledge and techniques remain current. A key theme of the workshop reinforced what he believes is central to good surgical planning: that facelift surgery should always be tailored to the individual, rather than applying a single technique to every patient.

Dr Widdowson performs a range of facelift procedures, including deep plane techniques, with recommendations made following careful consultation and personalised assessment.

If you are considering facial rejuvenation surgery and would like to explore your options, our team can assist with arranging a consultation to discuss what may be appropriate for you.
