Minor (non-surgical) cosmetic medical procedures (‘cosmetic medical procedures’) do not involve cutting beneath the skin but may involve piercing the skin. Examples include non-surgical cosmetic varicose vein treatment, laser skin treatments, use of CO2 lasers to cut the skin, mole removal for purposes of appearance, laser hair removal, dermabrasion, chemical peels, injections, micro-sclerotherapy and hair replacement therapy.

​

Cosmetic injections are serious medical procedures that involve injecting a substance under the skin to change an aspect of appearance. For example, reducing the appearance of wrinkles or lines on the face, or putting filler into the lips to make them fuller. If used incorrectly, the substances in these injections could cause skin damage, blindness or even death (Therapeutic Goods Administration).  These types of treatments are prescription only medicines and high-risk products and patients will be assessed in a health practitioner led consultation before any treatment is performed. Not all treatments are suitable for each individual and the outcome of the treatment is not guaranteed.
