Moles (Scarless) and Cyst Removals

Screen Shot 2023-03-26 at 2.26.16 pm.png

‘Scarless’ procedures here means minimally invasive; the scars are so small that they are not noticeable. The procedure is only suitable for benign subcutaneous lesions such as cysts and lipomas; it does not apply to the removal of skin cancers.

​

This procedure was developed by Dr Haipeng Wang to create a small puncture access port to extract the cysts or lipoma underneath the skin in piecemeal without having to cut with scalpels. Conventional skin lesion removal procedures leave obvious scars. This minimally invasive procedure minimizes scarring, reduces recovery downtime, and gives the best cosmetic outcome.

Why the Face Ages – A Scientific Overview

Facial changes over time are influenced by several natural processes, including:

  • Volume changes in fat pads: Redistribution and thinning of fat that normally provides support.

  • Bone remodelling: Gradual changes in facial bone structure, contributing to altered contours.

  • Skin changes: Thinning of the skin and reduction in collagen and elastin, leading to decreased elasticity.

These processes may contribute to the development of folds, hollows, or contour changes.

Areas that appear to be hollow with aging can be treated

But some of the treatments used in cosmetic medicine cannot be advertised in Australia. If you have concerns about facial lines or age-related changes, these options can be explained in a private medical consultation.

Collagen Support Procedures – Microneedling, LED and Radiofrequency

Collagen and Skin Structure

Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that helps maintain the strength, firmness, and resilience of the skin. As part of the normal ageing process, collagen production gradually decreases over time. This may contribute to changes in skin texture, elasticity, and overall skin support.

A range of clinically supervised procedures may assist in supporting the body’s natural collagen response. The suitability and expected effects of these options vary between individuals and must be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy)

Microneedling is a procedure that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process can activate the skin’s natural repair mechanisms and may encourage gradual collagen and elastin remodelling over time.

Microneedling is sometimes considered for concerns such as skin texture irregularities, fine lines, and certain types of acne scarring.

As with any procedure, potential side effects may include temporary redness, bruising, irritation, pigmentary change, infection, or scarring in rare cases.

LED (Light-Emitting Diode) Therapy

LED therapy uses low-level light energy at specific wavelengths. Different wavelengths have been studied in relation to skin recovery and general skin support.

Some wavelengths are associated with wound-healing responses, while others have been explored in the context of acne-related inflammation.

Side effects are usually mild but may include temporary redness, irritation, or skin sensitivity.

Radiofrequency (RF) Treatments

Radiofrequency-based treatments deliver controlled heat into deeper layers of the skin. This may support gradual tightening and collagen remodelling in selected patients.

Clinical outcomes vary depending on the device used, treatment settings, and individual skin factors. Potential risks may include redness, discomfort, burns, altered sensation, scarring, or variable results.

Other Clinically Supervised Options

Some additional medical procedures may be discussed during a private consultation where appropriate. Certain prescription-only treatments cannot be advertised in Australia and are only considered following an in-person medical assessment.

Thread-Based Procedures

Thread-based procedures are one of several techniques used in cosmetic medicine to address selected age-related skin and tissue changes. These involve the placement of absorbable medical threads beneath the skin in carefully chosen patients.

The effects are temporary and depend on individual anatomy and clinical suitability. Possible side effects include localised bruising, swelling, infection, asymmetry, or the need for further follow-up.

General Considerations

Collagen support procedures work by engaging the body’s natural healing and remodelling processes. Because this is a gradual biological response, outcomes are not immediate and can differ significantly between individuals.

Many procedures require multiple sessions over time, and any improvements are typically temporary. Maintenance may be needed depending on personal factors and treatment goals.

All cosmetic and dermatological procedures carry potential risks. Side effects may range from mild, short-lived reactions such as redness or swelling to less common complications including infection, scarring, or delayed healing.

A face-to-face consultation is essential. Only a registered health practitioner can determine whether a procedure is appropriate after considering your medical history, skin condition, expectations, and alternative options.

Collagen support refers to a group of clinically supervised approaches that may assist with skin quality and firmness by encouraging the body’s own collagen response. Examples include microneedling, light-based therapies, radiofrequency-based treatments, and other medically appropriate procedures discussed in consultation.

These options are not suitable for everyone, results vary, and no outcome can be guaranteed. Anyone considering such procedures should seek advice from a qualified practitioner to ensure safe, individualised care.
