Medical disclaimer

Everything on Skin After Weight Loss is published for educational purposes only. It is general information written for an Australian audience. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare professional who knows your history and can examine you.

No doctor-patient relationship

Reading this site, using its tools, or receiving its emails does not create a doctor-patient or therapeutic relationship of any kind. The site’s editor is not a medical practitioner. Where content has been medically reviewed, the reviewer is named on the page.

Talk to a registered practitioner before acting

Treatments discussed on this site (energy-based devices, injectables, topical prescriptions, and surgery) have real risks, contraindications, and individual suitability factors that no website can assess. Before starting, stopping, or changing any treatment, speak to an AHPRA-registered GP, dermatologist, cosmetic physician, or specialist plastic surgeon (FRACS). This applies doubly to prescription medicines, including GLP-1 receptor agonists (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Saxenda) and topical tretinoin: decisions about prescription medicines belong with you and your prescriber.

Results vary

Clinical study results describe group averages, not guarantees. Individual results vary with age, genetics, skin quality, the amount and speed of weight loss, and treatment technique. Nothing on this site promises an outcome.

Interactive tools

The skin concern checklist, treatment reading guide, recovery checkpoints and appointment worksheet are educational aids that organise general information based on your answers. They are not diagnostic instruments and their output is not a clinical recommendation.

Accuracy and currency

We source clinical claims and date our pages, and we update content when the evidence changes. Even so, medical evidence moves and errors are possible. If you spot something wrong, email info@skinafterweightloss.com.au and we will review it.

Emergencies

This site is not for emergencies. If you have concerning symptoms after a procedure (spreading redness, severe pain, fever, skin blanching or discolouration), contact your treating clinic immediately or call 000.
