Frequently Asked Questions

Listed below are the most frequently asked questions we hear from patients. Please browse through the questions below to discover more information on Cosmetic Medicine.

What is the best age to undergo Cosmetic Medicine treatment?

Today more and more patients in their early 30’s are seeking Cosmetic Medicine treatments as a preventive measure. Many of our clients see their treatments as a step toward increasing their self-confidence, rather than a ‘restorative’ treatment. When considering if a Cosmetic treatment is right for you it is important to ask yourself: “Will I gain more confidence from this treatment and look as young as I feel?”

Why should I maintain my looks?

How you look has a dramatic effect on how you feel about yourself. Your self-esteem and confidence directly impacts your life both professionally and socially. Maintaining your looks as you age is a positive step toward being confident, happy and fulfilled with who you are as an individual.

Will Cosmetic Medicine treatment change my appearance?

At Face Value we believe in enhancing your individual beauty as opposed to changing your appearance. Dr Frost creates subtle changes to the face to recreate harmony in your appearance. We carefully listen to each client’s desires and aspirations and work with them to enhance their appearance.

Will I need to prepare for treatment?

This will depend upon the treatment you are undergoing. Certain cosmetic medicine procedures require specific preparation and post treatment care. For example if you are undergoing IPL treatment it is imperative to stay out of the sun for some time both before and after your session. For specific instructions, please call Face Value on (03)3765330.

Do all Cosmetic Medicine procedures have ‘down time’? How long will recovery take?

Many Cosmetic Medicine procedures are now being labelled “lunch time treatments” as it is possible to have a non-surgical procedure and still return to work as per usual. Treatments which require no ‘down time’ include; Anti-wrinkle treatment (BOTOX® or Dysport®), Dermal Fillers, IPL sessions, as well as many skin rejuvenation treatments.

What is the difference between a Dermal Filler and Anti-wrinkle treatment?

While Dermal Fillers work by filling in lines, Anti-wrinkle treatment (BOTOX® or Dysport®) softens the lines by relaxing the muscles that cause them.
