As of 7th March 2024, the Therapeutic Goods Administration have released specific guidelines on cosmetic injection services as below "cosmetic injection services".  As per all of Dr Nara consultations including non-surgical cosmetic treatments, all of our patients are assessed carefully for the purposes of protecting patient safety and raising standards of cosmetic treatments in line with the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery and Medicine.

Cosmetic injection services

Cosmetic injections are generally administered to temporarily remove/reduce wrinkles and lines on the face, around the eyes, forehead (anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers), lips and neck (dermal fillers only), or to improve the appearance of submental fat (deoxycholic acid).

Most cosmetic injectables contain substances that are in Schedule 4 to the Poisons Standard and cannot be advertised to the public. 

Either directly or indirectly, you cannot make any reference in your advertisement for cosmetic injection services to prescription-only substances or to product trade names of such products. This includes acronyms, nicknames, abbreviations and hashtags, which may be taken by a consumer as a reference to a specific prescription-only medicine or substance.
This includes: 

• anti-wrinkle injections 
• dermal fillers 
• injectable products used for improvement of the appearance of submental fat. 

This does not apply to cosmetic injectables that do not contain any prescription-only substances. 

Prescription-only medicines are high risk products and patients should be assessed by a health professional before their use. Health professionals and cosmetic or beauty clinics are not permitted to advertise cosmetic injections that contain prescription-only medicines to the public. 

It should be clear that the customer is being offered a health-practitioner-led consultation and that, depending on the outcome of the consultation, this may or may not lead to the provision of a prescription.
