We know that wrinkles and fine lines are a natural part of life. We also understand that some people want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. We recognise that everyone ages differently, which is why at The CAPS Clinic we never adopt a ‘one-size-fits-all’ treatment program.
With multiple laser and light devices combined with the expertise of our Dermal Clinicians and Aesthetic Nurses, The CAPS Clinic can develop a customised treatment program to help our patients achieve their rejuvenation goals.
Why choose The CAPS Clinic for your wrinkle management.
We are a plastic surgeon–led clinic. Our highly professional team is led by Dr Alastair Taylor, a qualified and experienced aesthetic plastic surgeon. The CAPS Clinic has been caring for the Canberra community for over 28 years. Under Dr Taylor’s direct supervision, our aesthetic nurses have provided treatments to patients seeking to achieve their aesthetic goals.
Our Aesthetic Nurses are experienced, qualified and receive specialised training, working in consultation with Dr Taylor. Your initial consultation is conducted in person with both Dr Taylor and one of our Aesthetic Nurses. A script and treatment plan is then provided. Our Aesthetic Nurses are highly skilled in wrinkle management and are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals.
