Frequently Asked Questions

Exciting news! In October 2025, the next step in the Rewa Aesthetics journey commenced.

Our little clinic space is 2/69-71 Monaro Steet (in the City Arcade along from Anytime Fitness Queanbeyan and Queenbee Women’s Health GP). Parking is available in the locally known “Salvo’s Carpark” otherwise officially known as the “Morisset St carpark”. You may be lucky and snag a park on Monaro St itself but that can be tricky.

In Australia the medications we can utilize to help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles and to enhance volume fall under the category of Schedule 4 Medications.

This means they are monitored and require a script to be administered. A Registered Nurse or Doctor must provide the treatment. Not only for legal reasons, but we must have sound knowledge and understanding of human anatomy and physiology to carry out these cosmetic medical procedures. Overseas have vastly different rules which is quite alarming. Alot od what you see on social media etc is from the UK or the US where the rules are different. Always seek out a reputable health professional in your area for a consultation before making any decisions with cosmetic treatments as all treatments come with risk and side effects.

That’s a good question. TGA guidelines prohibit us from advertising certain treatments as they include S4 category medications. Book a consultation, which is always complementary, to discuss all options with zero obligation. The online booking system will take a $50 deposit to secure the appointment, however it is redeemable against treatment if you go ahead and can be used to purchase skincare etc if you decide against or are deemed unsuitable for treatment. (Pls note we do not refund deposits).

Everyone experiences pain differently and has different pain thresholds. However, when it comes to needle pokes, most clients compare the sensation as a quick prick. There is a slight pinching feeling, but it only lasts for a few seconds. Some injection sites may sting more than others, but it is very quick and bearable.

With adding volume again it will feel like a pinching, and you may experience slight pressure or a ‘stinging’ sensation as the product is being injected. Pain, however, is such a personal and subjective thing. It all depends on your tolerance and on the treatment area. We can use numbing cream on certain areas.

Avoid vigorous physical activity or any large intakes of alcohol for 24 hours prior as this increases the risk of bruising. Avoid blood thinning substances such as Aspirin, Fish Oil or Neurofen in the days leading up to your appointment to reduce the risk of excessive bruising. However, do not stop any prescribed blood thinners such as Xarelto etc.

Preventative treatments may be a good option for some. Starting to look after your skin early will work wonders for you later on however if you are a very expressive person you may benefit from additional treatments. You can always book in a complimentary consultation with us to discuss more with no obligation on the day.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) prohibit advertising of specific brand names of prescription only medications. To adhere to this we are unable to publish the brand names and certain generic descriptions of some treatments. Rest assured, we only use market-leading brands. At your consultation, we can discuss the options suitable to you freely, including specific brand names, dosing, costs and all associated risks/side effect and aftercare prior to you making a fully informed decision whether to proceed or not.

Results vary depending on the treatment performed.

With wrinkle reducing treatments they can begin to be seen as early as a couple of days after the treatment. By 7 to 14- days they will reach their full effect. Follow-up or “dose adjustments” can be made between 2-4 weeks if required (note: additional costs apply).

The effects can last for up to 3-4 months depending on the individual and dosing.

It is recommended to repeat the treatment before the muscle movements return to normal which is typically 3-4 months. It will, however, depend on your own metabolism, dosing and product used. This way there is an overlap in results and a continued softening effect.

With volume enhancing treatments, again, it depends on your body and metabolism as well as product choice and location. Some results can last from 6 months through to up to 24 months.

These specifics are discussed prior to any treatments in clinic face to face when we can speak freely about brands and specific products.

Don’t touch your face for at least four hours after your treatments. After this time, you can use a gentle cleanser. You want to use something that’s gentle and calming as we have irritated your skin by poking tiny holes in it!

I would suggest something like the Skinstitute Gentle Cleanser (available at LCA Clinics).

Why it's good!

>Purifies, calms and hydrates without irritating the skin.

>Suitable for all skin types. Gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin thanks to aloe vera and cucumber seed oil.

>Safe to use on eyes and lips.

>Provides support and repair thanks to botanicals such as green tea and goji berry.

>Safe to use morning and night, pre- and post-treatments 

Work a pea-sized amount into wet hands and use all over your face, neck and dec. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry (don’t rub).  

FYI LCA Skin Therapists also offer complimentary consults to discuss and address any other skin issues you may have. Book a consult with them now, and let them know I sent you!

Your safety is our main concern and for this reason, we do not treat clients who are pregnant. We advise against all cosmetic treatments whilst pregnant simply out of precaution and due to the lack of information available on treatment effects on the fetus.

Migration? Just don’t like how it looks anymore?

Most often the answer is yes, but there are risks and side effects.

This is common practice with most online booking systems now. It helps small businesses like Rewa Aesthetics avoid ‘‘no-shows’’ and wasted appointments which result in lost income.

Your deposit is redeemable on the day and if you are deemed not suitable or change your mind you can use to credit to purchase SPF, skincare, other skin treatments etc. (Please note: we do not refund deposits).

Rewa Aesthetics has a 48 hour cancellation policy. if you cancel outside of 48hours your deposit reverts to credit on your account. If you cancel or reschedule withing 48 hours of your appointment your deposit is forfeited and you will need to pay another deposit for any further bookings.
