DERMAL fillers

Additionally, wrinkle fillers are now being used as “volumizers,” plumping and lifting the cheeks, filling out thin lips, plumping sagging hands and even filling out larger areas such as breasts and buttocks.

Well known for their safety, efficacy and immediate results, dermal fillers have become one of the most common and satisfying cosmetic treatments in the world today.

Filler types

Certain types of dermal fillers available at Melbourne Facials cannot be fully named due to TGA restrictions. At Melbourne Facials, we use temporary fillers lasting from 6 to 12 months, and more permanent fillers lasting from 12 months to 7 years. Most of them are composed of substances that are naturally found in the skin.

Melbourne Facials dermal fillers are

1. Gel-like dermal filler based on compound that is found naturally in the skin, muscles and tendons of mammals. It is injected underneath the skin to fill out lines and wrinkles and to plump up hollows in the face and body.

The downside to using permanent fillers is you cannot go back to temporary ones. Permanent fillers may also be unsuitable for some areas of the face. You will need to have a chat with our doctor prior to making a decision to move onto permanent filler

Dermal Fillers Treatment Plan

• Doctor will advise you on filler type and amount required to be used for the procedure. Also fillers cost for the procedure, any known side effects and after care.
• That follows  by selection of injection points for each location to be treated. Usually numbing cream applied to the treatment area.
• The dermal filler is then injected into the marked points beneath the skin to fill out the line, wrinkle or fold.
• Treatment times vary depending on the amount of fillers required and the areas treated. In general it does not exceed 60 minutes.
• After treatment, it is possible to apply make-up if applicable, and to go about your normal activities. We usually ask you to refrain from heavy exercise however.
• Treatment with dermal fillers sometimes does take more than one session to get the best results. The first treatment lays the foundation for the subsequent treatments, and future treatments allow for any adjustments to be made.
• After the procedure it is only recommended to use Oxygenetics or Lycogel Camouflage, the only breathable specialised foundation. They will counteract heat sensation, reduce swelling and will camouflage any bruising and/or redness resulting from the procedure. This will enable you to continue with your normal daily activities. Oxygenetix and Lycogel can also be use as your everyday foundation as it will keep your face protected with non-paraben SPF 30.
