Me Clinic Cosmetic & Dermatological Treatments

With over 35 years of caring for patients across Australia, Me Clinic has built a genuine reputation in cosmetic and dermatological medicine — clinical expertise delivered with real care. Our Cosmetic Doctors and practitioners are here to help you look and feel like yourself, through treatments that are safe, evidence-based, and properly thought through. Whether you're exploring skin rejuvenation, body contouring, or injectables for the first time, or coming back for ongoing care, we'll help you work through your options clearly and without pressure.

At Me Clinic, we practise under the Responsible Cosmetic Medicine™ philosophy — honest guidance, realistic expectations, and patient wellbeing first.

Cosmetic & Dermatological Treatments

Cosmetic and dermatological treatments cover a broad range of procedures designed to improve both the appearance and health of skin, face, and body. From gentle non-invasive therapies to more advanced injectables, every procedure at Me Clinic is performed by qualified practitioners who combine solid medical knowledge with a considered aesthetic approach.

We know that coming in for a consultation — whether it's your first time or your tenth — can feel like a big step. That's why every treatment journey starts with a personalised, unhurried consultation. No pressure, no rush — just honest advice delivered with care.

What Are Cosmetic & Dermatological Treatments?

Cosmetic and dermatological treatments are medical and aesthetic procedures that address skin conditions, signs of ageing, and cosmetic concerns. They're delivered in a clinical setting by trained professionals and include:

  • Injectable treatments — anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers
  • Skin rejuvenation therapies — laser treatments, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion
  • Body contouring — non-surgical fat reduction and skin tightening
  • Acne and scar treatments — targeting active acne, post-acne scarring, and uneven texture
  • Pigmentation correction — sun damage, melasma, and uneven skin tone
  • Hair removal — laser and light-based hair reduction
  • Vein treatments — sclerotherapy and laser treatment for visible veins

These treatments suit a wide range of people and can be customised based on your skin type, concerns, and goals. No two patients are the same, and every recommendation we make reflects that.

Injectable Treatments

Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle injections are among the most popular cosmetic treatments available, and it's easy to see why. They work by temporarily relaxing the muscles behind dynamic wrinkles — those lines and creases that form from years of frowning, squinting, and smiling.

Common treatment areas include:

  • Forehead lines
  • Frown lines between the brows (glabellar lines)
  • Crow's feet around the eyes
  • Bunny lines on the nose
  • Lip lines and lip flip
  • Chin dimpling
  • Neck bands (platysmal bands)
  • Brow lifting

Results typically last three to six months, after which treatment can be repeated to maintain your outcome. Many patients find that with consistent treatment over time, results gradually extend as the targeted muscles soften.

At Me Clinic, anti-wrinkle injections are administered by experienced practitioners who take a conservative, considered approach. The goal is always to enhance your natural appearance — not to change it in ways that feel unlike you.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable substances — most commonly hyaluronic acid — used to restore lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. As we age, the face gradually loses volume and elasticity, leading to hollowing, sagging, and deepening lines. Fillers offer a gentle, restorative response to these changes.

Dermal fillers can be used to:

  • Restore volume to the cheeks and mid-face
  • Smooth nasolabial folds (smile lines)
  • Define and enhance the lips
  • Rejuvenate the under-eye area (tear troughs)
  • Contour the jawline and chin
  • Improve the appearance of marionette lines
  • Hydrate and plump the skin (skin boosters)

Results are immediate and can last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on the product and area treated. At Me Clinic, filler treatments are tailored carefully to each patient's facial anatomy and preferences, with a focus on natural, balanced outcomes. We're also honest about what fillers can and can't achieve — realistic expectations make for a better experience all round.

Anti-Sweat Injections (Hyperhidrosis Treatment)

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can have a real impact on daily life and confidence. Anti-sweat injections use the same active ingredient as anti-wrinkle treatments to temporarily block the nerve signals that trigger sweat glands, significantly reducing perspiration in the treated area.

Common treatment areas include:

  • Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
  • Palms
  • Feet
  • Scalp and hairline

Results typically last six to twelve months. There's no downtime, and for many patients, this treatment has made a meaningful difference to how they move through their day.

Skin Rejuvenation Treatments

Laser Skin Treatments

Laser treatments use focused light energy to target specific skin concerns at a cellular level. Depending on the laser used, they can address pigmentation, redness, fine lines, scarring, and uneven texture with a level of precision that's hard to match with other approaches.

Types of laser treatments available include:

  • Ablative lasers — remove the outer skin layers to stimulate new growth and collagen production
  • Non-ablative lasers — work beneath the surface without removing the outer layer, stimulating collagen with minimal downtime
  • Fractional lasers — treat a fraction of the skin at a time, creating micro-columns of treated tissue surrounded by untreated skin to speed healing
  • Vascular lasers — target red and purple pigments in blood vessels to reduce redness, rosacea, and visible veins
  • Pigment lasers — break down melanin deposits to treat sunspots, age spots, and other pigmentation

Your practitioner will explain which laser technology suits your skin type and concerns before you proceed.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to the skin, encouraging the outer layers to exfoliate and peel away. The skin that emerges is typically smoother, more even in tone, and genuinely refreshed.

Chemical peels are classified by depth:

  • Superficial peels — target the outermost skin layer (epidermis), well-suited to mild concerns with minimal downtime
  • Medium peels — penetrate into the upper dermis to address moderate pigmentation, fine lines, and acne scarring
  • Deep peels — reach the mid-dermis for more significant results, though they require a longer, carefully managed recovery

Common concerns treated with chemical peels include:

  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Sun damage and pigmentation
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne and post-acne marks
  • Dull skin

The right peel for you will be chosen with your skin type, lifestyle, and recovery preferences in mind.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a gentle, non-invasive exfoliation treatment that uses fine crystals or a diamond-tipped wand to remove dead skin cells from the surface. It suits virtually all skin types, requires no downtime, and fits easily into a busy schedule.

Benefits include:

  • Improved skin texture and tone
  • Reduced appearance of fine lines
  • Minimised pore size
  • Reduced superficial pigmentation
  • Better absorption of skincare products

This treatment is often part of a broader skin health programme and can be combined with other treatments for more comprehensive results.

Skin Needling (Collagen Induction Therapy)

Skin needling — also called collagen induction therapy or microneedling — uses a precision device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body's natural wound-healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin production from within.

Skin needling is effective for:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scarring and other scarring
  • Stretch marks
  • Enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Skin laxity

A course of three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is typically recommended for the best results. Your practitioner will walk you through a realistic timeline and explain what to expect at each stage.

Acne & Scar Treatments

Acne Treatment

Acne is one of the most common conditions we see at Me Clinic, affecting people of all ages and often carrying an emotional weight that goes well beyond its physical presentation. Mild acne can often be managed with topical treatments, but more persistent or severe cases frequently benefit from professional clinical support.

Clinical acne treatments at Me Clinic may include:

  • Prescription topical treatments — stronger formulations than over-the-counter options
  • Oral medications — including antibiotics and hormonal therapies where clinically appropriate
  • Chemical peels — to reduce sebum production and unclog pores
  • Light and laser therapies — targeting acne-causing bacteria and reducing inflammation
  • Extractions — professional removal of comedones and milia

We take a thorough, compassionate approach to acne management, addressing both underlying causes and visible symptoms to support long-term skin health.

Scar Treatment

Scarring from acne, injury, surgery, or other skin trauma can significantly affect how someone feels about their skin. With the right combination of treatments, the appearance of scars can be substantially improved.

Options for scar treatment include:

  • Skin needling — stimulates collagen remodelling to improve scar texture and depth
  • Fractional laser resurfacing — breaks down scar tissue and promotes healthy new skin growth
  • Chemical peels — improve surface texture and pigmentation associated with scarring
  • Dermal fillers — can gently elevate depressed (atrophic) scars
  • Corticosteroid injections — reduce raised (hypertrophic or keloid) scars

The most appropriate treatment depends on the type, age, and severity of the scar. After a thorough assessment, your practitioner will put together a personalised plan that reflects your specific circumstances and goals.

Pigmentation Treatments

Pigmentation concerns are among the most common reasons patients come to us, and we understand how frustrating uneven skin tone, dark spots, and discolouration can be. These changes can stem from sun exposure, hormonal shifts, inflammation, or ageing — and they deserve a considered, expert response.

Common types of pigmentation include:

  • Solar lentigines (sunspots/age spots) — flat, darkened patches from cumulative sun exposure
  • Melasma — a hormonally influenced condition causing symmetrical patches of pigmentation, commonly on the face
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) — skin darkening following inflammation or injury, such as acne
  • Freckles — small, concentrated areas of melanin often associated with fair skin and sun exposure

Treatment options at Me Clinic include:

  • Laser pigmentation treatments — using targeted wavelengths to break down excess melanin
  • Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) — broad-spectrum light therapy effective for diffuse pigmentation and sun damage
  • Chemical peels — exfoliating the skin to reduce surface pigmentation
  • Prescription topical treatments — including retinoids, hydroquinone, and brightening agents
  • Combination therapy — using multiple treatment modalities for more complex or resistant pigmentation

One thing we'll always be direct about: sun protection is non-negotiable during pigmentation treatment. Ongoing UV exposure can trigger or worsen the very concerns we're working to address. SPF 50+ is the minimum recommended protection throughout any treatment programme.

Body Contouring & Skin Tightening

Non-Surgical Fat Reduction

Non-surgical body contouring offers a clinically supported way to reduce localised fat deposits without surgery or anaesthesia. These treatments aren't weight-loss solutions — they're designed for patients who are close to their ideal weight and want to address stubborn pockets of fat that haven't responded to diet and exercise.

Technologies used include:

  • Cryolipolysis (fat freezing) — uses controlled cooling to crystallise and destroy fat cells, which the body then eliminates naturally over time
  • Radiofrequency (RF) energy — heats fat cells and stimulates collagen production to reduce fat and tighten skin simultaneously
  • High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) — delivers focused ultrasound energy to destroy fat cells at a precise depth beneath the skin
  • Laser lipolysis — uses laser energy to disrupt fat cell membranes

Results are gradual, typically becoming visible over eight to twelve weeks as the body processes and eliminates treated fat cells. Your practitioner will give you a realistic picture of what to expect for your specific situation.

Skin Tightening

Loss of skin elasticity comes with age, but it can also follow significant weight loss, pregnancy, or other life changes. Skin tightening treatments use energy-based technologies to stimulate the body's own collagen and elastin production, gradually improving firmness and reducing laxity.

Common skin tightening treatments include:

  • Radiofrequency (RF) treatments — deliver controlled heat to deeper skin layers to stimulate collagen remodelling
  • Ultrasound skin tightening (HIFU) — targets deep structural layers of skin and underlying tissue for a lifting and firming effect
  • Combination treatments — combining RF and microneedling for enhanced results

These treatments can be applied to the face, neck, décolletage, abdomen, arms, thighs, and other areas, and are tailored to your anatomy and concerns.

Hair Removal

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal offers a long-term solution for unwanted hair on the face and body. It works by targeting the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle with precise laser energy, damaging the follicle and inhibiting future hair growth over a course of treatments.

Treatment areas include:

  • Face (upper lip, chin, sideburns, full face)
  • Underarms
  • Arms and legs
  • Bikini and Brazilian
  • Back and chest
  • Stomach

Multiple sessions are needed because laser hair removal only works during the active growth phase of the hair cycle. Most patients require six to eight sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart, with occasional maintenance treatments after that. Your practitioner will give you an honest picture of what to expect from the start.

Laser hair removal works best on darker hair and lighter skin tones, though advances in laser technology have made it increasingly suitable for a broader range of skin and hair types. We'll assess your suitability carefully during your consultation.

IPL Hair Removal

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) hair removal uses broad-spectrum light rather than a single wavelength to target the hair follicle. Generally considered less powerful than laser hair removal, IPL can still be effective for hair reduction in suitable candidates and is often a practical option for larger treatment areas.

Vein Treatments

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is widely regarded as the gold standard for spider veins and small varicose veins. It involves injecting a sclerosing solution directly into the affected vein, causing it to collapse and gradually fade.

Sclerotherapy is suitable for:

  • Spider veins (telangiectasias) on the legs
  • Reticular veins (feeder veins)
  • Small varicose veins

Multiple sessions may be needed depending on the extent of the veins being treated. Compression stockings are typically worn after treatment to support healing, and your practitioner will walk you through all aftercare requirements clearly.

Laser Vein Treatment

Laser vein treatments use targeted light energy to heat and collapse visible veins without injections. This approach works particularly well for very fine veins and facial veins that can be difficult to treat with sclerotherapy, offering a precise alternative for appropriate candidates.

What to Expect: Your Treatment Journey at Me Clinic

Initial Consultation

Every treatment journey at Me Clinic starts with a thorough, unhurried consultation. During this appointment, a qualified practitioner will:

  • Listen carefully to your concerns, goals, and medical history
  • Assess your skin and identify the most appropriate treatment options for your needs
  • Explain all recommended treatments in plain language — including expected results, realistic outcomes, potential risks, and aftercare
  • Develop a personalised treatment plan designed around you

There's no obligation to proceed after a consultation. We encourage every patient to take the time they need to feel fully informed and comfortable before making any decisions.

Treatment

On the day of your treatment, your practitioner will:

  • Review your treatment plan and address any final questions
  • Prepare the treatment area, which may include cleansing, applying topical anaesthetic, or taking pre-treatment photographs where appropriate
  • Perform the procedure with care and precision
  • Provide clear aftercare instructions before you leave

Most cosmetic treatments at Me Clinic are performed in-clinic and require little to no downtime, so patients can typically return to their daily activities shortly after their appointment.

Aftercare & Follow-Up

Proper aftercare is essential to getting the best results from your treatment, and we take that responsibility seriously. Your practitioner will provide detailed, procedure-specific aftercare instructions, which may include:

  • Avoiding sun exposure and applying SPF 50+ sunscreen consistently
  • Refraining from strenuous exercise for a specified period
  • Avoiding certain skincare products or makeup
  • Staying well hydrated and maintaining a considered skincare routine

Follow-up appointments let your practitioner monitor your progress, address any concerns, and recommend additional treatments if appropriate. Our care doesn't stop when you leave the clinic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are cosmetic treatments safe?

When performed by qualified, experienced practitioners using approved products and technologies — as they are at Me Clinic — cosmetic treatments are generally very safe. As with any medical or aesthetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, and we'll discuss these with you openly during your consultation. We don't minimise or gloss over the realities of any procedure.

How do I know which treatment is right for me?

The best way to find out is to book a consultation with one of our practitioners. During that appointment, your skin will be carefully assessed, your goals explored, and a personalised recommendation made based on your individual circumstances. There's no universal answer in cosmetic medicine, and we take that seriously.

How many treatments will I need?

It depends on the procedure, the concern being addressed, and how your skin responds. Some treatments produce meaningful results after a single session; others require a planned course for the best outcome. Your practitioner will always give you a realistic expectation of the number of sessions needed.

Is there any downtime?

Downtime varies considerably between treatments. Anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers typically involve little to no downtime, while more intensive procedures such as ablative laser resurfacing may require several days to a week of recovery. Your practitioner will advise you clearly on what to expect so you can plan accordingly.

Can I combine treatments?

Many patients benefit from combining treatments to address different concerns or achieve more comprehensive results. Our practitioners can advise on which combinations are safe and effective, and put together a programme that addresses all your goals in a sensible, sequenced way.

When will I see results?

It depends on the treatment. Dermal fillers produce immediate visible results, while skin needling or laser treatments stimulate a gradual biological response that becomes visible over weeks to months. Your practitioner will give you a realistic timeline so you know what to expect and when.
