NEW ADVERTISING GUIDELINES

AHPRA have just released new advertising guidelines that come into effect on 2 September, 2025 for all health care professionals who provide higher risk cosmetic procedures in Australia.

These guidelines are separate from the TGA guidelines that came into effect 1.5 years ago. The TGA regulate the advertisement of prescription medications, which restricts the advertisement of schedule 4 prescription medications (including restrictions with ‘before and after’ images). Health care professionals must adhere to both regulators when advertising.

This is not a complete list of all of the advertising guidelines (I have linked the AHPRA site below for reference to the guideline document). I have copied and summarised the majority of them here so the general public are aware of the new guidelines and why they will be seeing a lot of posts being removed by medical professionals who perform cosmetic treatments / procedures in Australia, and less positing (part of the guidelines is to not post too frequently). This post is not an interpretation of the guidelines. Medical professionals must seek legal advice for interpretation.

A separate document was also released by AHPRA. From 2 September, 2025, registered nurses (RN) must first practise for a minimum of one-year full-time equivalent post initial registration to consolidate the foundational skills and knowledge as an RN in a general area of nursing practice (excluding non-surgical cosmetic procedures).

There is a gap in the literature of a patient’s perception of their beauty and how their perception changes after having cosmetic procedures. You may have heard of the phenomenon “perception drift” in the cosmetic industry.

Sometimes, patients seek treatment for one area, become satisfied with that particular area, but then find new areas of concern and seek additional treatment. This process repeats and becomes a continuous cycle of a dissatisfied patient.

It’s important to understand the changes that are gradually being made to the face over a period of time. Even small, incremental changes have the ability to completely alter someone’s facial appearance. Just one more treatment can lead to unnatural-looking results. It’s important to go to a practitioner who will set realistic expectations with treatment outcomes and say “no” when treatment is not necessary and treatment satisfaction cannot be achieved.

Sometimes, when we have aesthetic treatments, we get used to the “new normal” each time we have a treatment done and forget what we used to look like. I’ll do a separate post about this, but it’s something called “perception drift”.

It’s all to common for patients to present back after they see an initial result wanting more. The choice is with your cosmetic provider if they say yes or no to additional treatment. It’s very important to go to someone who doesn’t just say yes all the time, even though you may want treatment, when further treatment isn’t necessary. Small changes over a period of time add up, and it could be just that one next treatment that goes too far causing “over treatment” and unnatural-looking results.

COLLAGEN AND MENOPAUSE

Menopause starts, on average, between the ages of 45 and 55 and is associated with a decrease in oestrogen levels. The impact of low oestrogen in menopause has implications on the structure and function of the skin.

There is a rapid decline in skin collagen seen following menopause. Nearly 1/3 (30%) of collagen has been seen to be lost within the first 5 years and a decline of approximately 2.1% per year over 15 years following menopause. It has been demonstrated that collagen loss is more related to post menopausal age, rather than being related to chronological age.

Degeneration of elastin has also been seen to increase with menopause and clinically presents as “slack” skin and increased wrinkles.

Treatment options of menopausal symptoms should be discussed with your medical professional.

NAME CHANGE

Due to the new advertising guidelines and laws around prescription medications, the TGA consider a business name an advertisement, and have deemed “cosmetic injections” is an indirect advertisement for prescription medications. Therefore, I’ve had to change my Instagram name that you’ll all come to know for the past 11 years.

So many of you said you search for me by “MD” (my initials), so I decided to keep it somewhat similar to MD Cosmetic Injections and change my new name to “MD Cosmetic Nurse”. Please know that I’m still here doing the same treatments I’ve done for over 10 years’ and it’s still me.

I’ve changed and redirected my website to www.mdcosmeticnurse.com.au . The name is also updated on Google and on my online booking system, so please get used to the new name. If you have any confusions around the new name changes on the booking system, please message me and I can assist.

I know the new changes are frustrating for patients, as we are now not allowed to advertise prices, showcase before and after photos, or post any information at all about prescription medications outside of a consultation. It’s unbelievably frustrating for us as well (trust me), but please understand we are all in the same position and will have to get used to the new changes in Australia. If you have any enquiries, please message me and book in for a consultation where we can discuss absolutely everything with you.

Thank you for everyone’s patience and understanding whilst some businesses have had to make complete restructures. We have absolutely no way of advertising what we actually do for work anymore, so your word of mouth referrals mean so much to us. Thank you to all of my patients for working with me through this.
