Cosmetic medicine uses non-surgical medical treatments to improve the look and health of the skin. Many of these treatments use prescription medicines or medical devices, which is why they should be given by a trained medical professional after a proper consultation.
Dr Waxman is accredited by the New Zealand Society of Cosmetic Medicine (NZSCM). She often combines treatments, in the right order and at the right time, to give a balanced, natural result.

Considered care for skin concerns beyond the face.
Loose, crepey skin and lines on the neck, often called a turkey neck, are a common concern. Depending on the cause, options include skin boosters to improve skin quality, a collagen stimulator to firm thin skin, a PDO thread lift for mild sagging, or microneedling for texture. Treatments are often combined for the best result.
Some people notice their face looks thinner, more hollow or less defined after losing weight, including weight loss with prescription medicines. The skin can also become looser, particularly around the jawline and neck.
Treatments such as dermal fillers, collagen stimulators and skin boosters can help to restore volume, support and skin quality. Dr Waxman will assess your face and recommend a plan that suits the changes you have noticed.
Every cosmetic treatment starts with a consultation, and is only recommended if it is right for you.
