Cosmetic Procedures Overview

There are many procedures available to men and women considering cosmetic medical procedures. Ensuring you choose the right one for you is a decision you should make together with your Doctor.

All Fellows of the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery are specifically trained in cosmetic medicine and surgery and are required by the College to maintain their skills through a Continuing Professional Development program.

Procedure:	Laser reduction of acne scarring, wrinkles and sun damage, some forms of pigmentation and possibly stretch marks.
Length:	Depends on size of area to be treated - few minutes to an hour. Usually needs a series.
Anesthesia:	Usually local anaesthetic cream.
Side Effects:	Occasionally some crustiness. Temporary darkening of skin.
Recovery:	Redness and swelling for a few days to a week. Mild "bronzing" in first week. Effects progress over 6 months.
Duration:	Effects on acne scarring and skin rejuvenation are subject to normal ageing process. Pigmentary disorders may be permanently reduced but due to the unpredictable nature of the problem, the result is very hard to predict.
