How we help
We offer treatment options that get results
At your first appointment, you will spend an hour with one of our experienced, qualified practitioners. They will discuss what your facial concerns or goals are, and then offer a complete, individualised full facial analysis, explaining the ageing process and how it applies to your face. Whether you are yet to see the signs of facial ageing, or are well aquatinted with it, we will then be able to offer treatment options to either slow the ageing process, or improve on areas that may already be concerning you.
Our treatment options include or combine the use of injectable products to soften and smooth lines and wrinkles, revolumise or enhance natural features, or subtly improve facial contours and neck and chin definition. In addition, the latest advances in Ultrasound, Laser and Radiofrequency technology allow us to offer revolutionary, non-surgical skin lifting, tightening and resurfacing. We also provide medical laser treatments for pigment, redness or severely sun damaged skin. Our no downtime medical grade peels will start your journey towards healthy, luminous skin, and you can carry on the good work at home with our ranges of premium cosmeceuticals to nourish, optimise, and help repair skin damage. We collaborate with, and refer to a number of leading surgeons and medical specialists, if an appropriate treatment solution is not offered by our clinic.
Dr Simone Bamford
Medical Director
Dr Simone Bamford has been working in the highly specialised field of medical aesthetics for 20 years. Simone graduated from Monash University with a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery with Honours in 1997 and quickly established herself as a trusted and proficient general practitioner. But she was always searching for more – a way to make positive, tangible changes in her patients’ lives, and at the same time improve her work-life balance.
In 2007, Simone consolidated her clinical experience in cosmetic medicine, opening an innovative private practice specialising in bespoke anti-ageing treatments. Simone loves the impact that her work has on her clients; how small improvements can make a big difference in boosting their confidence and self-esteem. As a mother of three young girls, she knows only too well how the day to day challenges of life can manifest in our appearance, and how a little expert help can stimulate a positive transformation, both inside and out.
Simone is also passionate about her ongoing exposure to worldwide specialists and attends industry conferences each year to keep abreast of the latest innovations and technologies in the fast moving world of medical aesthetics. This drive to offer the gold standard in safety and outcomes is what makes bma a unique solution for cosmetic medicine.
