Dermal Fillers

Dermal filler treatments in Melbourne are facial enhancement and rejuvenation treatment for those who wish to smooth wrinkles, fill in furrows around the mouth, or add volume to the cheeks, lips, and around the eyes. Melbourne dermal fillers are administered via injection to ‘fill in’ facial folds and wrinkles, thus providing enhanced volume, plumpness and definition, especially in ageing skin.

These products can produce effective results and they can also be combined with other anti-wrinkle injections, lasers, skincare products or surgery as part of a tailored program. It is important to ensure that dermal fillers for men’s faces and women’s faces are chosen and administered to suit your individual needs after an assessment by a medical practitioner.

What are Dermal Fillers and how do they work?

Dermal Fillers in Melbourne are made from a natural complex sugar that is found in the skin and countless skincare products. The main role of dermal fillers is to attract water and provide hydration to the skin and to help the skin’s natural support structures.

Dermal fillers are administered via injection to different layers of the skin. We offer a wide variety of different dermal fillers to achieve a number of outcomes. All dermal fillers used at Liberty Belle Skin Centre are of the highest quality, TGA approved and are carefully selected based on scientific data and ongoing research.

What can you address with Dermal Filler Treatments?

Dermal fillers are most commonly used to:

  • Naturally enhance, volumise and define lips
  • Hydrate the skin from within using skin booster technology – hydrate and restore skin without altering shape
  • Strengthen the skin to minimise facial lines and creases
  • Define and enhance – adding facial structure, volume and shape to the chin, cheek and jawline
  • Restore volume to the temples and tear troughs
  • Sculpt the nose
  • Correct deeper nasolabial folds, down turned lip corners and ‘marionette’ lines
  • Improve the appearance of depressed scars, including acne scars
  • Rejuvenate the face

How much do Dermal Fillers cost?

The cost of Melbourne dermal fillers for lips, eyes and cheeks depends on the number and extent of areas that need treatment. Please contact our clinic to receive information on costs relevant to your personal aims and requirements.

What is the difference between Dermal Fillers and Anti-Wrinkle injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections in Melbourne work by relaxing the targeted muscles that are apparent when making an expression eg. frowning. This softens the appearance of lines and wrinkles in the area of concern.

Melbourne dermal filler treatments for the face are performed by injecting a gel designed to fill wrinkles, restore volume and enhance hydration. They are injected into different layers of the skin to address a wide variety of individual skin and contour concerns.

Anti-Wrinkle injections and dermal filler treatments are often used in conjunction with each other. Some areas of the face are better suited to anti-wrinkle injections, whereas others may require dermal fillers. At the time of consultation, your Cosmetic Nurse Injector will advise you on which treatment best addresses your individual concerns.

Why should you choose Liberty Belle?

We allow you ample time to communicate your aesthetic goals to us and use our expertise to help you achieve your desired outcome. The experience you have with us is very important. We offer various ways to help alleviate any discomfort or anxiety from the procedure.

The first step is simply contacting us for your initial anti-wrinkle injection consultation, where we will discuss with you what is a realistic and achievable outcome, and what to expect from your treatment.

Making that first phone call about any cosmetic procedure can be a confronting task. Many of our patients prefer filling out our online enquiry form, especially if looking for fillers for men’s faces. We can then contact you to get an understanding of the results you hope to achieve and ensure the treatment is appropriate.

What happens during a Dermal Filler treatment?

After an extensive consultation, your Cosmetic Nurse Injector will take photographs before they begin.

The procedure is carried out using the highest infection control standards. Skin will be cleaned using a disinfectant solution prior to any injections.

Using either a needle or cannula, the Cosmetic Nurse Injector will inject the product from different entry points, depending on whether you are getting dermal fillers for lips or other areas of the face.

Clients are to expect some bruising and swelling after the treatment. The level of downtime is dependent on the area being treated and the technique being used.  Your Cosmetic Nurse Injector will discuss possible downtime with you prior to commencing any treatment.

How much discomfort is involved?

Most Dermal Fillers contain local anaesthetic to assist with pain levels. Your Cosmetic Nurse Injector will discuss pain management prior to commencement of treatment. We have a variety of methods to help keep discomfort to a minimum.

 

What are the risks and side effects?

All cosmetic treatments carry risks. Common risks and side effects include injection reactions, moderate to severe swelling, herpes simplex (cold sores), lumps and bumps at the injection site. Bruising is also common, which can take several days to subside.

Although uncommon other possible side effects have been reported and these include infection, tissue necrosis, scarring, blindness, stroke, nerve damage and allergic reactions. Our on-site doctor will discuss these risks with you prior to the commencement of your treatment. Our team of doctors and nurses will assess any risk factors before the treatment goes ahead. This way you can make an informed decision about whether or not you wish to proceed with the discussed treatment plan.

 

How can I prepare for a treatment?

Avoid wearing make up to appointments where possible.

If you have an active infection or virus or are feeling unwell it is best to call and reschedule your appointment.

Avoid dermal filler treatments in Melbourne 2 weeks either side of dental appointments.

If you are planning your filler treatment around a long flight, try to have your treatment done 2 weeks prior to flying. It’s ideal to fly once all of the initial swelling expected after a filler treatment has subsided.

If you are prone to cold sores prepare for this as filler treatments (especially in the lip area) can initiate a cold sore. Treatments cannot be carried out if you have an active cold sore.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or actively trying to conceive we cannot carry out a dermal filler or Melbourne anti-wrinkle treatment.

How long will the results last?

Best results will emerge 2 – 4 weeks after the procedure. Depending on the area injected and the type of filler used, this can then last anywhere between 6 and 18 months. Your Cosmetic Nurse Injector will advise the appropriate treatment interval.

One of the biggest advantages of Melbourne dermal fillers is that they are long-lasting, but unlike permanent treatments and implants they will still wear off after a period of time. This gives you the opportunity to re-evaluate your needs and perhaps choose a new aesthetic outcome later on.
