Choosing a cosmetic or skin clinic is different from choosing somewhere for coffee or planning a weekend activity. Treatments can involve your appearance, skin and health, so there is more to research before deciding where to book.
If you are comparing providers in Melbourne’s south-east or around the Mornington Peninsula, Cosmetic Aesthetics Victoria is one local business worth knowing about.
Based in Seaford, the clinic has operated since 2016 and provides a broad range of non-surgical facial rejuvenation, skin, laser and cosmetic treatments. It services clients from Seaford, Frankston and the wider Mornington Peninsula.
As with any health, skin or cosmetic service featured on Melbourne Talk, our suggestion is to use this information as a starting point. Look at the clinic’s current treatment information, understand who will perform or oversee your procedure, ask questions and decide whether the provider is appropriate for your individual circumstances.
What does Cosmetic Aesthetics Victoria offer?
Cosmetic Aesthetics Victoria operates as a skin and laser clinic and also trades as Medi Skin Clinic.
Its treatment range covers a number of common aesthetic and skin concerns. Services include skin needling, laser hair removal, medical-grade facials, fractional RF, skin boosters and non-surgical skin tightening.
The clinic also provides cosmetic injectable procedures, including treatments relating to wrinkles, facial volume and lip enhancement. According to the business, injectable treatments are prescription-only and are performed by a Registered Nurse in consultation with a Cosmetic Doctor.
Other concerns addressed through the clinic’s range of treatments include acne scarring, pigmentation, sun damage, enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven skin texture and skin laxity.
Because the right option depends on the individual, readers should check current treatment information directly with Cosmetic Aesthetics Victoria rather than assuming a particular procedure will be suitable for them.
Why Cosmetic Aesthetics Victoria may be worth considering
When researching cosmetic clinics, it can be useful to look beyond a treatment menu or before-and-after imagery. Practitioner qualifications, consultation processes, medical oversight and experience are also relevant factors.
Cosmetic Aesthetics Victoria was founded in 2016 by cosmetic practitioner Viktoria Reeva. The clinic states that it has helped more than 10,000 clients since opening and that its team has more than 37 years of combined experience across skin and cosmetic treatments.
Reeva holds advanced qualifications in cosmetic injectables and has experience across areas including skin aesthetics, skin needling, mesotherapy, Platelet Rich Therapy, skin boosters and non-surgical skin tightening.
Her professional background also includes serving as a senior educator at the Cosmetic Development Institute of Australia and working as an advanced trainer in non-surgical skin tightening for Mondeal Australia.
These are useful details for prospective clients to investigate when comparing local providers, particularly because qualifications and the people involved in delivering a treatment can be just as important as the treatment itself.
A consultation before deciding on treatment
One aspect of Cosmetic Aesthetics Victoria’s process that may be useful for people who are new to cosmetic treatments is its complimentary private consultation.
The consultation provides an opportunity to discuss concerns and aesthetic goals, ask questions and find out what may be appropriate before agreeing to a treatment.
That can be particularly useful if you have encountered several possible treatments during your research and are unsure how they differ.
The clinic also states that practitioners may decline to perform a treatment where they consider it unsuitable for the client. For anyone comparing providers, it is worth asking how a clinic determines suitability, what outcomes are realistic and what risks or aftercare requirements apply.
Skin analysis and treatment planning
Not everyone researching a skin clinic starts with the name of a treatment in mind. You might simply be concerned about pigmentation, acne scarring, enlarged pores, sun damage or changes in skin texture.
Cosmetic Aesthetics Victoria uses the Observ 520 Skin Analysis system as part of its approach to assessing skin and planning treatments.
The clinic also works with equipment and product brands including Venus Concept, Dermapen, Galderma, Allergan, Teoxane, SoftFil, RegenLab and Dermaviduals.
If particular products, technologies or treatment methods matter to you, confirm with the clinic which ones are currently used for the treatment you are considering and why they may be appropriate for your circumstances.
Cosmetic Aesthetics Victoria and medical oversight
For readers investigating cosmetic injectable procedures, it is important to understand who is actually providing the treatment.
Cosmetic Aesthetics Victoria states that its cosmetic injectable treatments are prescription-only and performed by a Registered Nurse in consultation with a Cosmetic Doctor.
The clinic also has an adverse reaction policy and says it will investigate treatment concerns raised within 12 weeks.
These details do not remove the need to do your own research. Before proceeding with any cosmetic procedure, ask about the practitioner’s qualifications, potential risks and side effects, expected outcomes, aftercare and what happens if you experience a problem.
Who might want to research Cosmetic Aesthetics Victoria?
The clinic works with adult women and men across a range of ages and stages of their cosmetic treatment journey.
Some people may be researching a clinic because they have noticed fine lines or changes in facial volume. Others may be interested in addressing pigmentation, acne scarring, sun damage, unwanted hair, enlarged pores or skin laxity.
Cosmetic Aesthetics Victoria may also be relevant to people considering cosmetic treatments for the first time who want to begin with a consultation rather than immediately choosing a procedure.
Its Seaford location makes it particularly relevant to Melbourne Talk readers living in or around Seaford and Frankston, as well as people elsewhere on the Mornington Peninsula.
What to check before choosing a cosmetic or skin clinic
There can be a lot of information to work through when comparing cosmetic clinics. Rather than choosing solely on price or a single advertised result, consider the wider picture.
Look at the qualifications of the practitioner who will perform your treatment and whether medical consultation or oversight is required. Ask what the treatment is designed to achieve, what alternatives exist, how long results may last and what risks or recovery may be involved.
It is also sensible to understand the clinic’s cancellation, refund, pre-payment and adverse reaction policies before paying.
Most importantly, make sure you feel comfortable asking questions. A consultation should help you understand your options rather than leave you feeling that you have to make an immediate decision.
