More than skin deep

GEELONG’S Australian Skin Face Body offers excellence in all aspects of medical and cosmetic skin health care.
Founded by plastic surgeon Ian Holten, the plastic surgery, skin and laser clinic specialises in plastic and reconstructive surgery and skin cancer checks.
The clinic is fortunate to have world-renowned microsurgeon Rafael Acosta-Rojas as part of the team. Mr Acosta-Rojas specialises in hand surgery, offering surgical and some non-surgical options for many common hand conditions such as carpal tunnel and finger contractures.
The clinic has recently introduced women’s intimate health treatments through endo-gynaecologist and pelvic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr Fariba Behnia-Willison.
Leading edge technology, the Mona Lisa Touch Laser, is used to help women who experience vaginal dryness and painful intercourse. Dr Behnia-Willison also treats gynaecological conditions such as prolapse and urinary incontinence by offering women non-surgical options where applicable.
The Skin and Laser Clinic, with dermal clinicians, Rebecca Harrison and Fiona Priddle has a range of treatments that can leave your skin feeling smooth and soft.
Cosmetic skin treatments on offer include dermal fillers and injectables (administered by an experienced doctor), laser hair removal and treatments for facial pigmentation, rosacea, sun damage, skin tightening, fine lines, wrinkles and acne scarring.
The also offer medical-grade facial peels, microdermabrasion, laser treatments, LED light therapy and INFINI skin tightening.
The CO2 Laser is the latest treatment using laser energy to resurface the skin. By precisely removing damaged layers of skin the treatment reveals the more youthful skin that lies beneath. It’s the ultimate in skin rejuvenation and improves scarring, acne scarring, pigmentation and lines and wrinkles.
The clinic stocks medical-grade skin care by Rationale.
It is currently offering a package including a medical grade facial peel and LED light treatment PLUS a take-home booster serum for the special price of $130. You can upgrade the package with a hyper-hydrating infusion for only $30.
Dermal Clinician Rebecca Harrison recommends a gentle skin peel to cleanse and refine pores, restoring your skin’s natural glow.
The treatment is painless, there may be a slight tingling of the skin, and it can be done in your lunch break. As the treatment is gentle, it is very unlikely your skin will peel in the days following the application.
For even deeper results, Light Emitting Diode (LED) therapy is combined with a skin peel for the ultimate treatment. Used in the fight against ageing, LED light therapy can minimise wrinkles by stimulating collagen production. LED light treatment is also used to control bacteria when treating adult or teenage acne.
Australian Skin Face Body prides itself in offering excellence in medical and cosmetic health and has been named a finalist in the National MyFace MyBody awards for Best Aesthetic Practice in Victoria.
