About Facial Rejuvenation
Treatment benefits
Comprehensive Approach
Dr. Tarek’s approach to facial rejuvenation is not solely focused on volume replacement. He feels that it is important to first identify the cause of any concerns by looking at your individual anatomy, and addressing all layers of the face including bone structure, fatty layers, muscle, supporting structures and the overlying skin. Once specific causes have been identified, he is then able to provide targeted treatment options which focus on subtle and natural looking results rather than overfilling.
As a national cosmetic trainer, faculty member, and clinical lead, Dr. Tarek is able to offer a broad and comprehensive range of treatment options, to build a precise and effective treatment plan tailored to your individual goals.
Facial Rejuvenation is ideal for patients who are seeking:
- Non-surgical full-face rejuvenation
- Restoration of volume
- Reduction of sagging
At Cosmetic Doctor Brisbane, your full facial rejuvenation journey starts with you. Dr. Tarek begins every appointment with an initial consultation, to listen to your story and cosmetic goals. We feel honoured to be a part of your cosmetic journey.
Why Choose Cosmetic Doctor Brisbane for your Facial Rejuvenation Consultation

As an established cosmetic trainer, Dr. Tarek has an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy, the ageing process, beautification and profile harmonisation. Over the years, he has refined his techniques to ensure a natural looking result and avoid overfilling. He also prioritises patient safety, by using techniques such as microcannulas, anatomical mapping, and ultrasound identification of blood vessels to increase safety during every procedure.
