Not every transformation needs to involve injectables. At Platinum Cosmetics, we meet you where your skin is at — and guide you forward, step by step.

Here’s how one of our clients (let’s call her Rachel) improved her skin’s tone, firmness, and texture — without downtime or dramatic changes.

Rachel’s Concerns

Rachel is in her early 40s and works in a high-stress, indoor environment. She came to our Port Melbourne clinic with three main concerns:

  • Loss of firmness around the cheeks and jawline

  • Uneven tone and redness, especially in winter

  • Tired-looking skin that lacked glow

She was clear that she didn’t want injectables — just natural, visible improvement that would last.

Step 1: Skin Assessment + Gentle Reset

We started with a full skin consultation to assess Rachel’s skin type, tolerance, and concerns.

Her plan began with:

  • A hydrating facial to calm inflammation and prep the skin

  • A simplified skincare routine to reduce reactivity and strengthen her barrier

  • Daily SPF (non-negotiable) and antioxidant support to begin correcting tone

Step 2: Introducing Laser for Tone + Collagen

Once Rachel’s skin was calm and responsive, we introduced:

  • Fotona 4D® to gently lift and firm through natural collagen stimulation

  • SmoothEye® to target fine lines around the eye area

  • A course of 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance

Rachel loved that there was no downtime and she could return to work right after each session.

Step 3: Supporting Results With Home Care

Between appointments, Rachel used:

  • A gentle cleanser and ceramide-rich moisturiser

  • A Vitamin C serum to support tone correction

  • Weekly use of a mild lactic acid exfoliant (recommended after her skin adapted)

We checked in regularly to adjust her plan and make sure her skin stayed comfortable and supported.

The Outcome

Three months in, Rachel noticed:

  • Firmer cheeks and improved lower-face definition

  • A more even, brighter tone — especially through the centre of her face

  • Friends and colleagues commenting that she looked “fresh” and “rested”

She appreciated that her results felt natural and progressive — not forced.
