Frequently Asked Questions

How much do appearance medicine treatments cost in New Zealand?

Appearance medicine costs in New Zealand vary by treatment: anti-wrinkle injections ($350-$800), dermal fillers ($600-$1,200), and skin treatments ($200-$500). Costs depend on the amount of product used, treatment area, and practitioner experience.

How long do results last?

Results vary by treatment: anti-wrinkle injections typically last 3-4 months, dermal fillers 6-18 months depending on the product and area treated, and skin treatments may require ongoing maintenance sessions every 4-8 weeks.

What qualifications should I look for in a practitioner?

Look for registered medical practitioners (doctors) or registered nurses with specific training in cosmetic injectables. They should be members of professional organizations like NZSICP (NZ Society for Cosmetic Medicine) or ACAM (Australasian College of Aesthetic Medicine).

Is there any downtime?

Most treatments have minimal to no downtime. You can typically return to normal activities immediately, though some treatments may cause temporary redness, swelling, or bruising. Avoid intense exercise and alcohol for 24 hours post-treatment.

Are treatments safe?

Yes, when performed by qualified practitioners using approved products. All reputable products are TGA-approved (Therapeutic Goods Administration) and have extensive safety records. Complications are rare when proper techniques are used.

What's the difference between anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers?

Anti-wrinkle injections (botulinum toxin) relax muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles, while dermal fillers restore lost volume and enhance facial contours. They're often used together for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

How do I prepare for treatment?

Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications for 24-48 hours before treatment to minimize bruising. Come to your appointment with a clean face (no makeup), and discuss any medications or health conditions with your practitioner.

Can treatments go wrong?

While serious complications are rare with qualified practitioners, potential risks include bruising, swelling, asymmetry, infection, or allergic reactions. Always choose experienced practitioners and attend follow-up appointments as recommended.
