Volume Enhancement Treatment Treatments Gold Coast

What are Volume Enhancement Treatments?

Volume Enhancement Treatments come in two varieties: semi-permanent and temporary. Both can be used to restore volume and structure, giving the face a more youthful and contoured appearance. Temporary fillers are highly popular because they contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally-occurring sugar molecule that we have in our bodies. It can be used to lift sagging skin and revitalise areas such as cheeks, temples, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, chin, nose and jawline.

Why choose Volume Enhancement Treatments, Gold Coast?

Volume Enhancement Treatment injections are considered minimally-invasive and can be performed in less than an hour. This treatment is ideal for busy individuals or those who don’t want surgery. Some individuals may observe changes in facial contouring and lifting after one visit or a series of sessions, but results can vary from person to person.

Modern hyaluronic acid injections offer a variety of options for those considering facial contouring. There are soft fillers suitable for restoring volume under the eyes or denser products for lifting the cheeks or giving the chin and jawline structure and definition.

Who is the best candidate for Volume Enhancement Treatments?

Women and men of all ages have been getting Volume Enhancement Treatment injections to look and feel better. You’re a good candidate if you’re in good health and would like to improve mild to moderate volume loss and skin sagging. Volume Enhancement Treatments can also help to contour the face for improved symmetry and overall appearance. Typical areas for augmentation include the cheeks, nose chin and jawline.

How are Volume Enhancement Treatments performed?

Fillers can be injected with a needle or cannula (blunt tip needle), depending on the treatment area. It’s a quick outpatient procedure that can be performed in less than an hour. Your injector may apply a topical numbing agent to make the experience more comfortable. Furthermore, most hyaluronic acid fillers contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic that adds another level of comfort to the treatment.

What to expect post procedure

​There may be some redness, swelling and possible bruising post procedure but most patients can return to work immediately after. Areas such as lips can swell considerably for the first 48 hours and return to normal in a couple of days. Bruising can be covered up with makeup if necessary. The duration of results from Volume Enhancement Treatments can vary, typically lasting between 6 to 24 months. Maintenance treatments may be considered as per individual needs.

How much does the procedure cost?

• Prices start from $350
• Discounts are available for additional syringes
• Initial consultation is between $120 – $150, redeemable upon treatment

How will my skin look after the filler is gone?

Your body will gradually absorb the hyaluronic acid over time and your skin will return to its previous appearance. To maintain the results of your filler treatment it’s best to have maintenance injections every 12-24 months.

What’s the difference between semi-permanent and temporary fillers? 

Temporary hyaluronic acid Volume Enhancement Treatments work immediately to plump and contour the skin. They contain hyaluronic acid gel that gets injected under the skin and improvements are visible right away. Over time your body breaks down the HA molecules and your skin return to normal.

Semi-permanent fillers, or tissue stimulating injections, on the other hand, stimulate your skin to produce collagen. Over the course of several months the treatment can restore volume in your skin, smooth away wrinkles and improve your overall skin quality. Results typically last 18 months after which time more injections will be required.

What are the side-effects of Volume Enhancement Treatment?

Most people tolerate Volume Enhancement Treatment injections very well, even after many years of use. With any medical procedure, however, there are some temporary side-effects such as swelling, redness and bruising. These normally resolve after several hours or days.

It is possible to develop some rare complications such as infection or lumps (called granulomas) but this is very rare. The good news is if patients need to reverse the filler, it can be instantly dissolved with hyaluronidase.
