Choosing a clinic
How to choose a skin clinic in Hobart
The questions worth asking any clinic before you book, including the ones where my own answer will not suit everybody.

Notes from the clinic.
Explanations of the things I am asked about most often — what is actually happening, what an assessment involves, and what is reasonable to expect. Written plainly, and without overselling anything.
Ageing & anatomy
Why faces lose volume, and what slows it
Hollowing is rarely one thing. Four separate changes happen at different rates, and knowing which is driving yours is most of the assessment.
Jaw & lower face
Jaw tension, clenching and the lower face
Aching mornings and a lower face that has widened are often the same thing seen from two sides. What I assess, and what is reasonable to expect.
Aftercare
Swelling, bruising and what is normal afterwards
Most of what worries people in the first few days is expected. Here is what is ordinary, roughly how long by area, and the signs that mean call me now.
Ageing & anatomy
Why expression lines deepen over time
A line that used to appear only when you smiled is now there at rest. What drives that shift, and which parts of it you can actually influence.
Ageing & anatomy
Where expression lines form, and why it matters which
The forehead, the brows, the eyes and the lower face each crease for different reasons, which is why the area matters more than the word.
Skin health
Squinting, sun and Tasmanian skin
Fierce UV and a cool climate is a combination that catches people out. What it does to skin, and the cheapest useful habit there is.
Lips
Why shape comes before volume
A lip that has lost its outline reads as smaller even when nothing has gone. Why definition usually matters more than size.
Lips
Mature lips, and why the goal changes
After fifty the goal is usually clarity and comfort rather than fullness, and the anatomy means the approach has to be different.
Ageing & anatomy
The layers beneath the skin, and why they matter
Skin, fat, connective tissue, muscle and bone change at different rates. Aiming at the wrong layer is how faces end up looking treated.
