Did You Know?

Did you know that every injectable treatment at our practice begins with a personalised assessment of your facial structure?

Before a single treatment is performed, Dr Alek maps out your unique proportions, muscle movement, symmetry, and long-term goals to ensure results remain natural, balanced, and refined.

It’s not just about what you want to treat — it’s about understanding your anatomy and designing a treatment plan that enhances your features without changing who you are.

Skin Tightening Beyond the Face

While facial treatments get the spotlight, some of the most transformative results happen where aging shows first: the neck, jawline, hands, and décolletage.

Each area responds differently to treatment. That's why Dr Alek and our team design tailored protocols that address your specific concerns—combining skin tightening with complementary treatments when needed for optimal lift and definition.

The goal isn't to look different. It's to look like the most refreshed, confident version of yourself.

From subtle tightening to comprehensive rejuvenation, every treatment plan is built around your skin, your goals, and your comfort.

🌿 Natural results. Strategic approach. Complete confidence.

The Best Version of You

You shouldn't have to choose between looking natural and seeing real results.

At Dr Alek's practice, every treatment plan begins with understanding what confidence means to you. Your skin type. Your aesthetic goals. Your comfort level with different approaches.

From targeted skin tightening to comprehensive facial rejuvenation, we tailor every protocol to ensure you look refreshed and recognizable—never overdone.

Because the goal isn't to look like someone else. It's to look like yourself, only more rested, lifted, and confident.

🌸 Strategic. Personalized. Natural.

Why Combination Treatments Work Better

The most impressive results don't come from a single treatment—they come from strategic combinations.

When we layer Botulinum toxin, dermal fillers, and skin tightening protocols, each treatment enhances the others. Botulinum toxin relaxes dynamic lines. Fillers restores lost volume and help lift facial structures like the jowls. Skin tightening improves texture and firmness.

Together, they create lift, definition, and balance that looks completely natural.

During your consultation, Dr Alek designs your treatment plan to address multiple concerns in harmony—never just treating symptoms in isolation.

🌿 This is how subtle becomes transformative.

Skin Boosters: When your skin needs structure, not volume. 🔬

Most people come in asking for filler because they see loss of firmness. But often, what they're seeing isn't volume loss - it's structural breakdown.

The difference matters:

Volume loss = hollowing in specific areas (cheeks, temples, under eyes)
Structural loss = overall crepiness, thinness, loss of "bounce" across entire face

Skin boosters address the second problem. It's not a filler. It's a bio-remodelling treatment that uses ultra-pure, high-concentration hyaluronic acid to:

→ Rehydrate tissue at the deepest dermal layers
→ Stimulate your own collagen and elastin production
→ Restore skin's structural integrity from within
→ Improve firmness across large areas (face, neck, décolletage, hands)

What it looks like: Not "filled." Not "tight." Just healthier, firmer skin that looks like you - refreshed.

Ideal for: Skin laxity, crepey texture, loss of firmness, preventative treatment in 30s-40s, or maintenance in 50s+

This is a precision injectable treatment for aging skin. A rebuilding protocol.

Firmness isn't just about collagen. It's about water. 💧

Here's what most people don't understand about skin aging: You can stimulate all the collagen you want, but if your skin is dehydrated at the dermal level, it won't have the structure to hold that firmness.

Think of your skin like a grape vs a raisin. Same structure. Different hydration levels. Completely different appearance.

This is why skin booster treatments like Skinvive® and Profhilo® work differently than traditional fillers:

Traditional fillers add volume to specific areas. Skin boosters flood the entire dermal layer with high-concentration hyaluronic acid - rehydrating tissue, stimulating collagen AND elastin production, and restoring the architecture that holds everything taut.

The result: Skin that's firmer not because of volume enhancement, but because we've restored its natural hydration and architectural scaffolding.

This is bio-remodelling and rebuilding.

If your skin feels crepey, thin, or like it's lost its "bounce" - this is the conversation we should be having.

Why choosing your injector matters more than choosing your treatment. 💉

Same product. Same technique name. Wildly different results depending on who's holding the syringe.

Here's what separates aesthetic practitioners:

Anatomy knowledge - Understanding facial planes, blood vessel pathways, nerve locations, and how tissue behaves at different injection depths.

Restraint - Knowing when to stop. When less achieves more. When "no" is the right answer. The best injectors don't just know how to enhance - they know when not to.

Individualization - Your face isn't a template. Expert practitioners assess YOUR unique anatomy, asymmetries, and aging patterns before ever touching a syringe.

Safety protocols - Emergency preparedness. Sterile technique. Product authenticity verification. Patient screening. These should be non-negotiable.

At Dr Alek Nikolic's practice:
→ Over 20 years of aesthetic medicine experience
→ 25,000+ procedures performed
→ Allergan Local Country Mentor Facial Aesthetics
→ Medical-grade safety standards
→ Honest assessments (we'll tell you if treatment isn't right for you)

Your face deserves precision, expertise, and integrity.

Choose your practitioner as carefully as you'd choose your surgeon. Because great results aren't about the product - they're about the hands holding it.

Skin tightening isn't a quick fix. It's an investment. 💎

True firmness doesn't come from one miracle treatment—it comes from stimulating your skin's own collagen and elastin production over time.

How it works: Advanced technologies like ultrasound, radiofrequency, and strategic injectables reach deep into the dermis, triggering your body's natural regeneration process. Over weeks and months, your skin rebuilds structure from within.

The result? Tighter, firmer skin that looks naturally refreshed—not pulled or artificial.

At Dr Alek Nikolic's practice, we combine evidence-based treatments tailored to your skin's needs and goals. No cookie-cutter protocols. Just results that last. ✨

Start your skin tightening journey now and feel the difference well into the new year. 🌟

Your collagen production peaked around age 25. It's been declining ever since. ⏳

By your mid-twenties, your body produces about 1% less collagen each year. Doesn't sound like much—until you realize that by 40, you've lost nearly 15% of your skin's structural support.

The result? Gradual loss of firmness. Fine lines deepening. Jowls forming. Skin that doesn't bounce back like it used to.

Skin tightening treatments work by reactivating what's slowed down—stimulating your body to produce new collagen and elastin, rebuilding structure from within. 🔄

The truth about aging skin: Prevention is always easier than correction. Starting treatments in your 30s maintains what you have. Starting in your 50s rebuilds what you've lost. Both work—one just requires less intervention. 💡

Meet Vashnee: The skincare therapist who sees what you can't. 👁️✨

Before any treatment recommendation, Vashnee conducts a comprehensive VISIA Skin Analysis—revealing what's happening beneath your skin's surface.

Pigmentation you haven't seen yet. UV damage building up. Texture changes forming. Pore congestion invisible to the naked eye.

This is data-driven skincare. Not guessing. Not trends. Just clear insight into what your skin actually needs. 🔬

Vashnee then bridges clinic and home—ensuring your professional treatments are supported by the right daily routine. Because results don't happen in isolation. They happen when expert treatments and smart homecare work together.

Great skin starts with understanding it. 💫
