Bioremodelling Treatments
Bioremodelling treatments are a newer approach to anti-aging. Whilst brand new to Australia, it was launched in Italy in 2015, and over 4 million injections have been given in over 80 countries.
They are not a filler, and not a toxin, but pure hyaluronic acid that stimulates our own bodies to produce those products essential for skin integrity. They acts at a cellular level, to deeply hydrate the skin, improve skin elasticity and quality and improve skin laxity, by stimulating all four types of collagen, elastin and fat cells.
Bio-remodelling injections are an innovative biological treatment, which counteracts skin laxity of the face and in areas traditionally difficult to treat, such as the lower face,the neck. hands and arms.
Over a period of 3 – 4 weeks, the injections kick start the production of elastin, re-modelling the skin tissue leading to a plumper and tighter look, with a radiating a natural glow. It can be used as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with other fillers to replace volume loss, hydrate and tighten skin, and can also complement laser treatments or botulinum toxins to get an even better result
Most patients will require 2 treatment sessions one month apart. Some patients may require 3 sessions at monthly intervals. Results can last about 6 months. To maintain the best results, the treatment cycle can be carried out twice a year.

What is involved in the Treatment?
​
After a discussion of your concerns and a full skin and facial assessment performed by your Coastal Goddess practitioner, a treatment plan will be tailored to meet your needs. Pre-treatment photos will be taken and consent obtained.
Injections are placed in scientifically proven locations, depending on the area treated.
Bioremodelling injections are not too painful. However there are several options for pain management during treatment, including local anaesthetic, topical numbing cream, ice, or Entonox gas, should they be required.
The treatment takes about 15 mins. Small superficial injections are given to the treatment area. The results are not evident immediately, however, there will be swelling at each injection site for up to 24 hours. This looks like a small insect sting
