Experience

Over the past decade, social media and reality TV have given rise to a new breed of cosmetic practitioners who have gained fame not only for their skills but also for their lifestyle and personal brand. The line between medical professionals and celebrities can become blurred. Ethical concerns arise when practitioners prioritise self-promotion over the well-being of their patients.

It is essential for patients to distinguish between qualified medical professionals and those who have gained fame primarily through self-promotion. Always look for practitioners with the necessary medical credentials and experience.

Dr Wassall has been performing cosmetic injectable procedures since 2002. He has performed over 20 000 injectable procedures. He has received extensive training in non-surgical cosmetic medicine and continues to educate himself in the latest techniques. He is a Clinical Trainer with Healthcert and regularly trains junior doctor in cosmetic injectable techniques.

Safety

Dr Wassall’s main priority is patient safety. All procedures carry risk but the following steps are taken to minimise the possibility of complications and also to manage any adverse outcomes effectively:

• Steps taken to minimise the possibility of complications:
  • Ultrasound assessment before high risk cosmetic treatments to reduce the risk of serious complications.
  • High standards of cleanliness and hygiene.
  • Informed consent including financial consent.
  • Quality products that are TGA approved.
  • Emergency equipment to deal with severe reactions and allergies.
  • Detailed post treatment instructions and personal availability to manage any complications.
  • 24 hour availability for serious complications.

Natural Results

Dr Wassall has a detailed understanding of facial anatomy and the aging process. He uses this knowledge to tailor a personalised treatment plan which will help restore your natural features taking into account your age, aesthetic goals and budget. Less is often more when it comes to achieving natural results. Starting with a conservative approach allows you to assess the initial effects and gradually build on them if necessary. Natural beauty is about harmony. Over emphasising a single feature can make treatments appear artificial.

Overtreatment in cosmetic injectables is a significant problem in the industry. This results in an overdone or unnatural appearance. Some examples of overtreatment which Dr Wassall avoids are overfilled lips, frozen forehead and pillow face.
