The COCO Skin Guide
Your personalised pathway to understanding your skin, embracing change, and feeling confident – with expert support at every step.
Every face tells a story – and every skin concern has a reason. At COCO Skin Clinic, we’re here to help you make sense of the changes you see, feel informed about what’s happening beneath the surface, and feel empowered to explore your options in a way that aligns with you.
Positive Ageing – Gracefully, Confidently, Your Way
At COCO Skin Clinic, we believe ageing is something to be embraced — not erased. It’s a privilege to grow older, and we’re here to support you in doing it with confidence, grace, and care that feels true to you.
Over time, the face naturally changes. One of the most noticeable shifts is in what’s known as the inverted triangle of youth. As we age, this volume slowly moves downward. The cheeks flatten, the under-eyes hollow, and fullness begins to gather around the lower face and jawline. This “triangle” flips, and with it, many people feel they look more tired or less defined than they feel inside.
At COCO, we offer supportive, ethical, and personalised care to help you understand what’s changing and explore options that align with your goals.
What we hear about positive ageing
At COCO Skin Clinic, your journey begins with a personalised consultation with one of our experienced doctors or registered nurses. Many patients share that they want to look refreshed, not different, and that their appearance no longer reflects how youthful or vibrant they feel inside. During your consultation, we take the time to understand your unique concerns; whether it’s fine lines, volume loss, skin tone or firmness – so we can recommend safe, tailored treatments designed to enhance your natural features with subtle, authentic results.
Common reasons patients explore positive ageing include:
Feeling like skin has changed
It's thinner, or makeup isn’t sitting as well.
Volume or shape loss
Feel like there is less facial structure.
Crepey or saggy skin
Started to notice skin that gathers and hangs, and want to change it.
Looking sad or tired
Mouth and/or lower face is starting to turn downwards.
Lines & Wrinkles – A Natural Part of Expression
Fine lines and wrinkles are often the first visible signs of ageing. At first, they only appear when we laugh or frown — but over time, those dynamic lines can settle in and become visible even when the face is at rest.
These lines commonly form around areas of frequent movement — like the forehead, brows, and mouth. They’re shaped by how we express ourselves, but they can also be influenced by volume loss, thinning skin, sun exposure, and lifestyle habits.
Understanding what’s contributing to your lines — from movement to skin quality — is key to choosing the right support.
What can you do about Lines & Wrinkles?
At COCO Skin Clinic, we take a holistic and layered approach to treating fine lines and wrinkles. Rather than focusing on a single area, we consider the overall skin quality, structure, and movement.
Treatment plans often begin with supporting the skin’s health – boosting hydration, improving elasticity, and encouraging natural collagen production.
We also look at gentle ways to smooth expression lines and prevent deeper wrinkles from forming, all while preserving the unique character of each face.
Common reasons patients explore line & wrinkle treatment include:
Lines around the eyes
Noticing more lines around the eyes smiling and at rest.
Line between the brows
A line deepening as you age that makes you look angry.
Forehead lines
Lines etched on the forehead or where the brow furrows.
Lines around the mouth
Lines that change the way your lips look and feel.
The Eye Area – When Looking Tired Doesn’t Match How You Feel
Few areas affect our appearance — and our confidence — as much as the eyes. They’re expressive, delicate, and often the first place we notice signs of ageing or fatigue. Many patients tell us the same thing: “I feel fine, but everyone keeps asking if I’m tired.”
The skin around the eyes is the thinnest on the face, making it more vulnerable to fine lines, laxity, and textural change. As we age, we may notice crow’s feet, looser or more crepey skin under the eyes, or hollowing.
We’re here to help you understand what’s driving the changes you see, and what kind of support your skin may benefit from.
Refreshing the eye area
Refreshing the eye area requires a delicate and considered approach. At COCO Skin Clinic, we look beyond the surface to understand what’s contributing to concerns like dark circles, puffiness, or a tired appearance.
Treatment plans often focus on strengthening the skin, improving hydration, and restoring support around the eyes to create a more open and rested look.
Our goal is always to enhance your natural expression – not change it.
Common reasons patients explore eye area treatment include:
Dark Circles
Circles under the eye area that won’t go away.
Puffiness or bags
Mild swelling or volume changes that create a heavy or uneven look under the eyes.
Lines & Wrinkles
More lines and wrinkles around the eyes that change your smile.
Tired or Aged Appearance
Patients often feel their eyes make them look more tired or older than they feel, even when well-rested.
Skin Concerns - Hydration, Pigmentation & Redness
Living in Western Australia means plenty of sunshine, clear skies, and an outdoor lifestyle — but it also means your skin works harder to stay balanced. Our climate is dry and UV exposure is high year-round, which can accelerate dehyfration, pigmentation, and sensitivity.
Dull or Dehydrated Skin
When your skin feels dry, looks flat, or has lost its usual radiance, it may be lacking hydration or struggling with cell turnover.
Pigmentation
Uneven skin tone, sun spots or melasma are incredibly common in WA. Pigmentation requires a considered, long-term approach to manage safety.
Redness & Rosacea
Redness, flushing, or visible capillaries can be signs of a sensitive skin barrier or underlying conditions like rosacea. It’s possible to calm and strengthen reactive skin.
How can I improve my skin?
Skin treatments at COCO Skin Clinic are designed to restore balance, strength, and radiance to the skin. By targeting concerns like pigmentation, redness, dehydration, and uneven texture, we help improve overall skin health and appearance.
Our approach focuses on boosting hydration, encouraging natural cell renewal, and supporting the skin’s barrier – leaving it clearer, smoother, and more resilient over time.
Common reasons patients explore skin concern treatment include:
Pigmentation
Including sunspots, melasma, and discolouration that affect the clarity and brightness of the skin.
Dehydration and Dryness
Skin that feels tight, rough, or lacks plumpness, often leading to dullness and fine lines.
Rosacea and Redness
Flushing, sensitivity, or visible capillaries that can make the skin appear inflamed or reactive.
Texture and Dullness
Concerns like uneven skin surface, enlarged pores, or a general lack of radiance that can affect overall skin glow.
Lips – Shape, Fullness & Sun Protection
As we age, it’s natural for lips to lose volume, definition and hydration. The vermilion border can begin to fade, and vertical lines may become more visible. This happens as collagen production declines and skin around the mouth becomes more delicate.
Whether you’re looking to restore volume, balance proportions, or care for lips that have seen a lot of sun, our team can guide you gently and honestly toward what’s right for you.
We’re here to help you understand what’s driving the changes you see, and what kind of support your skin may benefit from.
Why Consider Lip Enhancement?
Lips are one of the most expressive features of the face — and they play a big role in how we feel when we look in the mirror. Some people are born with smaller or uneven lips, while others notice changes over time such as thinning, loss of definition, or fine lines around the mouth. No matter your reason, our team is here to guide you with honest, ethical advice — and a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and comfort level.
Common reasons patients explore lip treatment include:
Naturally Thin Lips
For those born with smaller or flat lips.
Lack of Definition
Enhance the border of the lips.
Age-Related Changes
Address loss of volume or shape over time.
Lip Imbalance
Create symmetry between top and bottom lip.
Hair Reduction – Smooth, Confident Skin
Unwanted facial or body hair can be a source of daily frustration. We offer a safe, medically- supervised solution that’s tailored to your skin and hair type.
- Minimise ingrown hairs and irritation
- Be safe and effective across a range of skin types
- Provide long-lasting results with fewer maintenance sessions
Why Consider Hair Reduction?
Hair reduction treatments at COCO Skin Clinic are designed to deliver smooth, refined skin with long-term results. We offer advanced laser hair removal to target unwanted hair at the root, reducing regrowth over time with minimal discomfort.
For finer, vellus hair (often known as ‘peach fuzz’), dermaplaning is a gentle, effective option that also exfoliates the skin, enhancing glow and improving product absorption.
Both treatments are tailored to your skin type and goals, helping you achieve a polished, confident result.
Common reasons patients explore hair reduction treatment include:
More visible peach fuzz
Fine facial hair becoming noticeable under makeup or in certain lighting.
Feeling self-conscious
Unwanted hair impacts confidence, especially on the face or body.
Skin doesn’t look as smooth
Hair can affect the skin’s texture and overall polish.
Tired of shaving or waxing
Frequent upkeep feels frustrating or time-consuming.
