Dermal Fillers
Dermal Fillers are treatments designed to fix facial wrinkles quickly and effectively. These dermal fillers are registered pharmaceutical products with a very high degree of purity. They are injected directly into wrinkles to fill out and immediately smooth the lines, resulting in a fresher, more youthful appearance.
The TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) Regulations prevent us from naming the product on this web site. However we can discuss the treatment fully during a consultation at the clinic.
Which Lines can be treated?
Aged and sun damaged skin is wrinkled, due to loss of natural collagen in the dermis. Smile and Frown lines, “crows feet”, horizontal forehead lines, upper lip “smokers lines”, nasolabial lines and sagging corners of mouth can all be treated. In addition, acne scars, can be improved. Dermal fillers can also be used for lip enhancement – to enhance and define your lips.
What does Treatment Involve?
During treatment sessions, tiny amounts of the dermal filler are injected into the wrinkles, scars or lips. In sensitive areas, especially around the mouth, a local anaesthetic block or cream is applied to ensure the treatment is painless. There is little aftercare required, and you can resume your normal activities immediately afterwards.
Limitations of Treatment
As all dermal fillers are natural substances, they are gradually absorbed by the body. Each treatment can be expected to last 3 – 6 months. Please note that for deeper wrinkles caused by skin sag, other forms of treatment may be more appropriate.
Costs
Dermal Filler Treatments cost from $385, depending on the amount used.
Your Assessment
It is important you consult a Cosmetic Physician or dermatologist. An individual assessment of your skin type and your main cosmetic concerns is made. Depending on your individual needs, dermal fillers may be prescribed alone or in combination with other treatments to achieve the results desired.
