Skin laxity & ageing · Surry Hills, Sydney
Your face changes.
Your care can evolve.
If you have noticed a softer jawline or a change in firmness, you may be wondering what is worth doing.
Start with a conversation with Dr. Amy. We will help you understand the changes, consider your options and build a measured plan that fits your priorities.
A broader Strategy Session or one-concern Focused Consultation. Clear fees, time for questions and no commitment to treatment.
A little clarity
Skin laxity is part of a bigger picture.
Skin laxity means reduced firmness or looseness. Changes in facial shape can also involve the tissues beneath the skin. An assessment helps us distinguish these, rather than assuming every change needs tightening.
What we assess
Dr. Amy considers your skin and facial structure alongside your history. The Strategy Session includes 3D imaging and facial analysis.
What fits your life
Your budget, recovery time and preferences matter when deciding which options belong in the plan.
Explore how the face ages or fine lines and wrinkles.
Your choices, explained
A plan should bring clarity.
Perhaps you want to be proactive but are wary of doing too much. Perhaps previous treatments have left you unsure what to try next. There is space to talk that through.
We discuss what may help, the limits of treatment and what can wait. You can take time to decide. Ageing does not create an obligation to have a procedure.
Skin tightening options in Sydney
Match the option to the concern.
Non-surgical tightening may offer modest improvement for suitable people. It cannot reproduce a surgical lift. If your goals are unlikely to be met by the available treatments, we will discuss alternatives, including whether a surgical opinion would be useful.

Questions before you decide.
Which consultation should I choose?
The $250 Strategy Session with Dr. Amy is for a broader facial assessment and long-term roadmap, including 3D imaging. The $150 Focused Consultation is for one concern. For complexion care with our dermal therapists, choose the $100 Complexion Consultation.
Can non-surgical treatment lift loose skin?
Some people see modest tightening, depending on the procedure and degree of laxity. Significant excess skin or tissue descent may need a different approach. Assessment helps set realistic expectations.
Is there a right age to start?
There is no deadline to begin. Your concerns, preferences and suitability matter more than a particular birthday. A consultation can help you decide whether any treatment makes sense for you.
How long will results last?
Duration varies with the treatment and individual response, and ageing continues. We review progress before recommending further sessions rather than assuming everyone needs annual treatment.
Is Sofwave offered at TCMA?
TCMA offers consultation and planning. Sofwave treatment is performed at FutureSkin in Rosebery. If it is appropriate for your plan, we will explain the pathway. See Sofwave details and treatment booking options.
Is cosmetic medicine planning a separate appointment?
No. It is included in the Strategy Session and Focused Consultation with Dr. Amy where relevant to the scope of your appointment. Treatment fees are separate from consultation fees.
