The New You Clinic, Cosmetic Medicine, Perth WA

The New You is a premier specialist centre providing combined Cosmetic Medicine and Cosmetic Surgery treatments.We are dedicated to achieving the absolute best results for our patients while maintaining the highest possible level of safety, comfort and privacy.

We offer a wide range of treatments including anti-wrinkle treatments, dermal fillers and skin tightening procedures including abdominoplasty, brachioplasty and thighplasty.

The New You is unique in providing a balance between surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures to refresh your appearance, enhance your best features and regain your confidence.

Wrinkle Relaxers

Wrinkle relaxers are a safe, popular, non-surgical treatment for facial rejuvenation. It is comprised of a natural purified protein that helps to create a more refreshed appearance by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles in our face.

Worry lines on your forehead, vertical frown lines between your brow and crow’s feet are the areas most frequently treated by wrinkle relaxants. This creates a more youthful and relaxed appearance while maintaining a soft and natural look, in turn lifting your confidence and self-esteem.

Wrinkle relaxers are now one of the most widely administered cosmetic treatments and is becoming increasingly popular in younger patients to slow or prevent the ageing process.

How Are Wrinkle Relaxers Administered?

Wrinkle relaxer treatment is a safe and simple procedure. A sterile micro-needle is used to place the wrinkle relaxer in specific locations of the face, targeting specific muscles. No local anaesthetic or sedation is usually required. Most will report that any pain associated with the fine injection is mild and very short-lived.

What To Expect For Treatment

At your first appointment, Dr Christine, will perform a detailed consultation discussing your areas of concern and the results we expect to achieve following treatment. She will also take you through the consent process and ensure there are no contraindications to your treatment. As well as this, you will have pre-treatment photographs taken, which remain confidential.

The anti-wrinkle treatment itself takes appropriately 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the number of areas addressed. Treatment is quick with no downtime and can often be performed during a lunch break. You are safe to drive following treatment and return to work. We do, however, recommend avoidance of vigorous exercise on the day of treatment, as well as not laying down for 4 hours after injection of wrinkle relaxer.

Dr. Luke Matar
Luke Matar

I am a fellow of the Royal Australian college of Radiologist with over 15 years experience in diagnostic ultrasound and procedural ultrasound. My own personal experience with vein dysfunction and enthusiasm for the fantastic endovenous techniques that have revolutionised the treatment of venous disease has driven me to expand my expertise into the practice of Phlebology (venous medicine). I am a member of the Australasian College of Phlebology and the Australian and New Zealand Society of Phlebolgy.

I am dedicated to offering my patients the very best non-surgical treatments that I chose for myself, family and friends.

As a specialist Radiologist with extensive experience in ultrasound and ultrasound guided procedures and a personal interest in the field, the transition to endovenous treatment of varicose veins has been a natural one for me.

I am committed to provide the most effective and minimally invasive therapies to patients so that they may avoid the disabling consequences of venous incompetence (dysfunction) and varicose veins.

I am excited to be able to offer the most effective and minimally invasive treatments available to my patients in a purpose built centre that is focused on optimal outcomes and patient comfort.

Patients no longer need to fear the consequences of surgical treatment or untreated venous reflux.
