Volume Enhancement Treatment Treatments Sydney

As we age, the skin slowly begins to produce less collagen and elastin, which can lead to a loss of facial volume and an increase in fine lines and wrinkles. If you are looking to restore lost volume, Volume Enhancement Treatments may be the ideal treatment.

    Understanding the treatment

    Am I a candidate for Volume Enhancement Treatments?

    If you’re concerned with sagging skin, drooping facial contours, wrinkles, creases, and you’d like to achieve firmer, younger skin, then you’re a good candidate for injectable Volume Enhancement Treatment. Both women and men of all ages can benefit from filler because it’s not just used for anti-aging but also to enhance facial symmetry and features.

    Can Volume Enhancement Treatments replace surgical procedures?

    Modern Volume Enhancement Treatments provide a range of non-surgical options for those considering facial rejuvenation, with varying levels of effectiveness. There are some limitations, however. Those who have excess skin or considerable sun damage may require surgery or laser resurfacing to achieve satisfactory results.

    What brands of Volume Enhancement Treatment do you use?

    In Australia, advertising guidelines prohibit us from stating which Volume Enhancement Treatment brands we use. Classified as prescription medicine, only doctors can prescribe Volume Enhancement Treatments. As such, you must have a consultation with us to ensure that Volume Enhancement Treatments are appropriate for your face. At Cosmos Aesthetics, we use high-quality Volume Enhancement Treatments from a range of well-trusted brands. If you’d like to learn more, we can talk freely about your options during your consultation.

    Can Volume Enhancement Treatments slow down the ageing process?

    Volume Enhancement Treatments may help manage the appearance of lines and volume loss, though they cannot stop the ageing process. Volume Enhancement Treatments can actually stimulate the production of collagen, which keeps our skin looking plump, fresh, and youthful.

    At Cosmos Aesthetics, we are seeing more and more patients opting for Volume Enhancement Treatments as a preventative anti-ageing treatment. While anyone over the age of 18 can have Volume Enhancement Treatments, the best time to begin treatment is different for everyone. Ultimately, Volume Enhancement Treatments are an effective way to reduce the visible signs of ageing without resorting to surgery.

    Can I have other treatments with Volume Enhancement Treatments?

    Yes, many patients choose to combine their Volume Enhancement Treatments with other non-surgical facial treatments, especially Wrinkle Reduction Treatments. As an anti-ageing strategy, Volume Enhancement Treatments provide volume and shape to your face, while Wrinkle Reduction Treatments reduce fine lines and deep wrinkles. You can learn more about whether this option is suitable for you during your consultation.

    Do Volume Enhancement Treatments have any side effects?

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

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

    In extremely rare cases, Volume Enhancement Treatment can block blood supply if injected into the blood vessels rather than beneath the skin. This can lead to skin death and, in severe cases, blindness. It is for this reason that we always stress seeing a highly experienced cosmetic injector who knows how to avoid these complications.

    How long do Volume Enhancement Treatments last?

    Volume Enhancement Treatments are not permanent and will eventually be absorbed by the body. How quickly this happens will depend on factors such as the treatment area, the type of filler used and your skin type, lifestyle, and age.

    As a general rule, you can expect Volume Enhancement Treatments to last between nine months and two years, although dermal lip fillers may only last for around six months. If this is your first time having Volume Enhancement Treatments, keep in mind that you may require regular treatments every few months before reaching your aesthetic goals. After this, we suggest scheduling top-up treatments every six to 12 months.

    How do I prepare for Volume Enhancement Treatments?

    There are a number of things that you should do to prepare for a Volume Enhancement Treatment treatment. Most importantly, you will need to avoid anything that may thin the blood, including alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, omega-3 supplements, and vitamin E for a week before treatment. If you are prone to cold sores, you may need to speak to your doctor about taking prophylactic medication prior to treatment. If you have had a recent COVID-19 vaccination, be sure to wait at least two weeks before scheduling your Volume Enhancement Treatment treatment.

    Do Volume Enhancement Treatments hurt?

    At Cosmos Aesthetics, we always numb the treatment area prior to administering Volume Enhancement Treatment injections, which keeps the process relatively comfortable. You may feel slight pressure or a stinging sensation as the product is injected; however, whether or not you find it painful will depend on the area treated and your own pain tolerance.

    What can I do if I don’t like my results?

    If you don’t like your Volume Enhancement Treatment results, you have a few options. If you’d prefer a more dramatic look or want to balance some asymmetry, your injector can administer additional Volume Enhancement Treatment. On the other hand, if you are completely unhappy with how your filler looks, we can inject an enzyme into the treatment area that dissolves the product completely.

    How much Volume Enhancement Treatment do I need?

    Every patient will require a different amount of Volume Enhancement Treatment to achieve their desired results. Typically, we suggest beginning with a single syringe in the lips or each cheek, especially if you are new to filler and are looking for a natural enhancement. However, if you find this is not enough, we encourage you to return to Cosmos Aesthetics Sydney to see whether an extra ml of filler can help you achieve your cosmetic goals. During your consultation, your cosmetic injector will discuss with you how much Volume Enhancement Treatment will best help you achieve your desired outcomes.
