MENTAL HEALTH
We treat mental health patients in a holistic manner. Sometimes medication can help and other times specialist counselling works as well or better. Your doctor may offer you a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan, this will make it more affordable to see a psychologist. We are fortunate to have an experienced Clinical Psychologist working in the practice, Dr Elsa Germain.
DIABETIC CARE
GPs continue to be a diabetic patient’s primary source of care; they are responsible for coordinating diabetes education and management, instigating a course of treatment and review to incorporate any developments and lifestyle changes, and provide referrals to appropriate specialists or other health professionals.
SKIN CHECKS
Australia has one of the highest incidence of skin cancer in the world. Two out of three people who live in Australia will develop some form of skin cancer.

IRON INFUSIONS
If you are anaemic or have trouble tolerating iron supplements, you could benefit from an iron infusion. An iron infusion delivers iron directly into the bloodstream through a vein. Iron is an essential mineral assisting the body to carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. There are risks and benefits to having an iron infusion, and your doctor can explain these to you at a consultation.
COSMETIC ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS
Anti-wrinkle injections help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. They work by relaxing the muscles that cause lines, and can be used to treat a variety of areas such as:
• Frown lines – between the eyebrows
• Crow’s feet – the corner of the eyes
• Forehead lines – horizontal lines between the brows & hairline
We use Dysport for Anti-Wrinkle injections. Dysport, like Botox, is a form of botulinum toxin injected into the skin to temporarily relax the muscles.
Anti-wrinkle injections, depending on the dose and location, last a duration of 3-4 months.
Cost varies depending on the area being treated and how much product is needed. Cost is $6.60 per unit (including GST).
A FREE cosmetic assessment appointment is undertaken first to understand your goals and the best option to achieve those goals. If anti-wrinkle injections are decided to be the best option, the doctor will advise you of the cost and how many units is required for your treatment.
A second appointment will be booked for your treatment at a time and date convenient to you. All costs are payable on the day of treatment. Medicare does not offer a rebate for cosmetic procedures.
You can book a FREE cosmetic assessment with Dr Leticia Figueiredo online or phone our receptionists for more information.
