Needle(ss) to say, Cosmetic Injectables Australia will make you a prick-ture of perfection.

Want to send your wrinkles on an indefinite vacay? Well listen up beauty enthusiasts and (anti) wrinkle warriors because we’re hard launching the freshest face on the block – Cosmetic Injectables Australia (CIA). This esteemed brand and their squad of highly qualified injectable icons have unveiled a chic new clinic in Southport, raising eyebrows (quite literally) for all the right reasons.

Opening last month, CIA isn’t just a pretty face. The brainchild of Nurse Molly Brown and fellow nurses and OG founders, Samantha Hair and Jessica Whalley, they specialise in the latest, cutting-edge, evidence-based cosmetic skin treatments.

Sam and Jess have been turning frowns upside down interstate for over a decade, and with the addition of local injectable royalty Nurse Molly to the GC team, this place is THE place for youthful, flawless skin.

If you’re apprehensive about injectables, stop (“calibrate and listen” and speaking of age, we’re showing ours…) because those pesky ‘11’ lines will only deepen! Rest assured that at CIA, you’re in the safest possible hands with impressive qualifications and extensive training supporting their craft.

These registered nurses, each armed with a minimum Bachelor’s degree, are committed to providing the expertise and confidence you deserve because when it comes to your face, there’s no room for amateur hour.

Mastering the art of full-face rejuvenation, from furrowed brows to laugh lines, no crease is safe under their watch. The treatment menu serves up every cosmetic skin treatment a gal…or guy…could ever wish for. We’re talking ALL the ‘dermas’; dermal filler, dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, and dissolving dermal filler because sometimes a breakup is necessary. Plus, they offer LED light therapy, AquaGold, collagen stimulating treatments, skin needling, PDO threads and of course, anti-wrinkle injections.

The CIA team tailors treatment plans to each individual patient, and yes, they’re having a ‘jab’ at the one-size-fits-all approach. Believers in aging gracefully (translation, no frozen faces or fish lips), their mission is: “At the heart of our practice lies the power to keep everyone guessing about your anti-aging secrets – because when it comes to timeless beauty, we redefine the possibilities of less is best.”

To paint the picture, let’s travel back in time (not really, but they’ll make it look like you have) to when CIA first started. Shaking up the beauty game, Molly, Sam and Jess, aka the Avengers of aesthetics, joined forces after years of working in the industry.

Fast forward to present day and CIA clinics are popping up faster than Kardashian collabs, with clinics on the Gold Coast, in Brisbane, Darwin, Adelaide, and Katherine.

Getting to CIA is a breeze, with plenty of easy-to-access parking. And, the booking system is as smooth as your post-treatment skin, allowing you to compare your availability with clinic appointments without even the hint of a frowny face.

Want to enhance your natural beauty, and this is quite possibly the most ridiculously rhetorical question we’ve ever asked. If you’re a skin clinic junkie here on the GC, you totally know SSKIN. Founded by arguably our most successful influencers, Amy and Emilee Hembrow, these savvy sisters have a knack of turning anything they touch or tout (or pout) to gold. SSKIN skin care clinic in Bundall is certainly no exception, and because it just makes sense for sisters to open sister clinics, SSKIN Robina has just joined the Hembrow-founded fold.

Following the overwhelming success of their first SSKIN, they chose Robina’s dynamic medical precinct to house their new venture. Launched in May, the apple certainly didn’t fall far from the tree here with nothing but the best of the best of, well, everything! The A-lister staff were hand-picked for their unparalleled skills, exemplary client care, and all-round beauty prowess, enabling us mere mortals to achieve #StatusLevelHembrow skin.

With an elevated design concept that reflects SSKIN’s commitment to innovation and style, it’s every bit the showstopper as the OG clinic. The only thing more beautiful than the interiors is you when you leave the place and speaking of, let’s dive into their treatment menu. We’re talking skin treatments, cosmetic treatments, infusions treatments, booster treatments, naturopath treatments, and hair regrowth treatments #AllTheTreatments, making this the one-stop-shop for all things beauty.

Trying to choose a favourite skin treatment for a shout-out is like trying to choose your favourite Hembrow, but we’re going with the Rose Quartz Signature Facial. Inspired by the ancient Egyptians combining holistic techniques with modern-day results-driven ingredients, your skin will have never experienced such crystal infused glassy goodness. It includes the works; breathing exercise, a double cleanse, steam, exfoliation, another cleanse, mask, rose quartz mask, neck and shoulder massage, rose quartz chest piece, facial massage, rose Quartz rollers, finishing serums and srsly, you had us at signature.

We’re also here for the Cosmelan Deluxe Peel coz pigmentation is a biatch. Also ideal for melasma and post-acne scarring, Cosmelan is the world’s number one depigmentation treatment and when administered by one of the SSKIN sorceresses, hello permanently filtered skin.

Now let’s talk injectables and if we didn’t have your attention before, we do now. Whether you want to iron those crinkles, flip those lips, filler-up those cheeks, temples, tear troughs or lips, recreate Kimmy K’s vampire facial selfie with some PRP and the list goes on, ladies, this place in an influencer mecca for a reason.

Other key treatments include DMK enzyme therapy, skin needling, LED light therapy and microdermabrasion to name a few and when you’re joining forces with reputable brands like DMK, The Secret, and Vida Glow, it’s a recipe for Hembrow-hotness.

D Point Ten
Oh donuts, how we love you. D Point Ten can be found on Stevens Street and, in keeping with the general donut vibe, is a little hole in the wall space pumping out the freshest of donuts we may have ever excitedly shoved into our greedy mouths.
