Start with your concern
You do not need to choose a procedure before you come in. These pages explain the options so you can arrive with useful questions.
Jawline, lower face and neck
For selected concerns about skin laxity and localised fullness, radiofrequency treatment beneath the skin may help improve contour. FaceTite and the smaller AccuTite applicator suit different treatment areas.
Assessment considers skin quality, fat distribution and the degree of laxity, together with recovery time and your expectations.
Explore FaceTite in Sydney →Selected concerns about facial laxity
Thread lifting uses threads placed beneath the skin to reposition selected tissues. It may be considered when a subtle change is appropriate for your anatomy and goals.
Your consultation covers the expected degree and duration of improvement, recovery, alternatives and risks such as bruising, infection or visible irregularities.
Explore thread lifting →An individual skin lesion
Begin with a medical assessment of the lesion. Dr Chahal can discuss whether removal is appropriate, the method, likely healing and the possibility of a scar.
A new or changing mole needs medical assessment before cosmetic treatment. Further investigation or referral may be needed.
Explore lesion removal →Hair thinning and changes in density
Start by understanding your pattern of hair loss and relevant medical history. Your assessment helps establish which options are appropriate and what ongoing care may involve.
A plan should explain realistic expectations, the proposed treatment schedule and how progress will be reviewed.
Explore hair restoration →All procedures have risks and results vary. Your consultation covers potential benefits, limitations, recovery and alternatives before you decide.
Between injectables and surgery
Some concerns sit in the space between injectable treatments and surgery. Skin laxity along the jawline, a softening lower face or fullness beneath the chin may call for more than skin treatments alone, while a surgical facelift may feel like more than you want.
Minimally invasive procedures such as FaceTite, AccuTite and thread lifting are designed for that middle ground. They work through small entry points rather than surgical incisions, and recovery is usually shorter than after surgery. For people who will benefit and would prefer not to have surgery, they can be a considered next step. You may have seen this described as a non-surgical facelift.
Suitability depends on your skin, anatomy and goals. Dr Chahal will talk you through what each option can offer you, how it fits with any injectable or skin treatments, and when another approach would serve you better.
Your face, over time
The aim is to help you look like the best version of yourself, with decisions that make sense now and over time. That starts with your priorities, the features you value and the amount of change you feel comfortable with.
With Dr Amy Chahal, you can discuss how a procedure fits alongside skin care, other treatment options and future plans. Agreeing on priorities and reviewing progress gives each decision a clear purpose.
A Strategy Session is a useful starting point when you have several concerns or want a staged plan. For one specific question, choose a Focused Consultation.

For some people, yes. Minimally invasive procedures such as FaceTite, AccuTite and thread lifting sit between injectables and surgery, and may suit mild to moderate laxity in people who prefer not to have surgery. Dr Chahal assesses your anatomy and goals and explains which option, if any, is likely to suit you.
Both use radiofrequency energy beneath the skin. FaceTite is used for larger areas such as the lower face, jawline and neck, while the smaller AccuTite applicator suits smaller or more delicate areas.
