Consultation for Skin Hydration & “Volume” Concerns
Consultation for Skin Hydration & “Volume” Concerns
At epiclinic®, we offer medical consultations to discuss concerns about skin hydration and the appearance of facial “volume.” A registered health professional will review your goals and medical history, assess skin quality and facial anatomy, and—if appropriate—outline a personalised plan. Suitability and outcomes vary between individuals.
Common concerns we can discuss
- Skin that appears dehydrated or dull
- Soft-tissue changes contributing to a flatter mid-face appearance
- Prominent lines or folds around the nose and mouth
- Transition at the lower-eyelid/cheek junction (tear-trough area)
- Lip proportion, definition and dryness appearance
What to expect at your consultation
- Assessment: Review of goals, medical history and current medications; evaluation of skin hydration, elasticity, facial fat pads/ligaments and proportions.
- Discussion: If clinically appropriate, your practitioner will explain suitable non-surgical options, expected review timeframes and after-care.
- Informed decision-making: Benefits, risks and alternatives are discussed so you can decide what’s right for you.
Any discussion of prescription-only medicines can only occur during a consultation. We do not advertise these products or their prices.
Factors your practitioner considers
- Whether lines are primarily dynamic (movement-related) or static (visible at rest)
- Contributors such as sun exposure, skin barrier health, genetics, weight change and general health
- Which areas should be addressed first to support balanced proportions
Areas that may be discussed (if suitable)
- Mid-face and cheek contour
- Nasolabial and marionette regions
- Tear-trough transition
- Lips (shape, proportion, border)
- Temple and chin balance
The choice of any option(s) depends on your anatomy, goals and medical history. Not all options are suitable for everyone.
Risks, side effects & precautions (general)
All procedures carry risks. Depending on the option selected, temporary effects such as redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising can occur. Less common risks, contraindications and precautions (including pregnancy, breastfeeding or relevant medical conditions) will be discussed before any treatment.
After your appointment
If a treatment is agreed upon, you’ll receive tailored after-care instructions and a recommended review timeframe. Please contact the clinic if you experience unexpected symptoms.
Fees & bookings
