At Dolce Vita, we prioritise safe, ethical, and professional care. In line with AHPRA and TGA guidelines, we do not publicly display before-and-after photos or pricing for cosmetic medical treatments.

To gain a full understanding of what we offer and pricing, please book a consultation with Dr Hooi where treatments can be openly discussed.

A consultation is an essential first step before any cosmetic journey. During this appointment, Dr Hooi will:

• Assess your medical history and overall health.
• Discuss your aesthetic goals and expectations.
• Explain the treatment options that may be suitable for you.
• Identify any potential risks or contraindications.
  

Consultations ensure that you receive a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs and that all safety considerations are addressed.

Our clinic operates in strict compliance with national regulations, including guidance from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).

All treatments are performed by registered health professionals who follow best-practice standards to ensure your safety and wellbeing.

While cosmetic medical treatments are generally safe when performed by qualified professionals, it’s important to understand that all procedures carry some level of risk. Risks may vary depending on the individual, their health history, and the type of procedure. Potential considerations include:

Common Temporary Effects

• Redness, swelling, or bruising: These are usually mild and resolve within a few hours to days.
• Tenderness or discomfort: Some treatments may cause temporary soreness or sensitivity in the treated area.
• Skin irritation: Minor itching, flaking, or dryness may occur.

Less Common or Moderate Risks

• Allergic reactions or sensitivities: Some individuals may react to ingredients, materials, or medications used during treatment.
• Infection: Although rare, any procedure that penetrates the skin carries a small risk of infection if aftercare is not followed correctly.
• Pigmentation changes: Temporary or, in rare cases, permanent changes in skin colour may occur, particularly for individuals with darker skin tones.
• Asymmetry or uneven results: Outcomes may differ slightly between sides of the face or body, and additional treatments may be required to achieve desired results.

Rare or More Serious Risks

• Scarring: Although uncommon, improper healing or individual predisposition may lead to scar formation.
• Long-term changes: Certain treatments may result in prolonged swelling, firmness, or texture changes that require ongoing management.
• Complications requiring medical attention: Very rarely, complications may arise that need prompt medical review or intervention.

Important Considerations

• Individual variation: Response to treatment can vary significantly between individuals. Results cannot be guaranteed.
• Medical conditions: Pre-existing health conditions or medications may increase the risk of adverse effects. Full disclosure of your medical history during consultation is essential.
• Aftercare adherence: Following post-treatment instructions is critical to minimise risks and optimise results.
