What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are smooth injectable gels, made from a substance (which naturally occurs in our skin and joints to hydrate and lubricate) that are placed beneath the skin's surface to restore volume, correct static wrinkles and folds and erase fine lines, whilst providing the skin with volume, support and hydration. Dermal Fillers rejuvenate and enhance facial features, restore youthful contours and have instant, natural looking and feeling results that last between 9 to 12 months.

Which areas can be treated with dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers can be used to smooth away facial lines and wrinkles, create fuller lips, shape facial contours and revitalise the skin. Common treatment areas include nose to mouth lines (the nasolabial folds), lips (adding volume and shape), cheeks, chin and jawline.

Does dermal filler hurt?

The injections themselves feel like a slight pinch, and you may experience slight pressure or a ‘stinging’ sensation as the product is being injected. Depending on your personal pain tolerance and on the area being treated, your practitioner may apply or inject a local anaesthetic to the treatment area.

How long do dermal fillers last? Are they permanent?

Longevity depends on many factors, such as the individual’s skin type, skin condition, lifestyle and age – as well as the type and amount of product used. After the initial treatment, follow-up sessions are normally recommended around every 6 to 12 months depending on the individual and the product used. If you'd like tailored advice and a treatment plan specific to you and your aesthetic goals, we recommend booking a complimentary consultation with the cosmetic injector at your local Australian Skin Clinics.

Are dermal fillers safe?

At Australian Skin Clinics, we understand that having a cosmetic procedure (especially if it is your first time) can be a little daunting, and with numerous anti-ageing products and treatment options available to you, how do you know what is the most effective and the safest? Two important factors to consider when deciding on a treatment are, the safety of the product being used and the qualifications, skill and experience of the person providing the treatment. We only use dermal filler products that have a proven safety record. Federal legislation prevents us from naming the product on our website, however what we can tell you is they have been used here in Australia for over 12 years, longer than any other hyaluronic acid dermal filler and have performed over 15 million treatments worldwide, so their safety record speaks for itself. As with any medical procedure there are potential side effects that should be fully explained to you prior to undergoing your treatment. Most of these are injection-related, such as swelling, bruising and discomfort which will resolve over a few days. As part of your consultation and treatment your treating medical professional will discuss your medical history, current medications, illness or allergies that may impact on your suitability to undergo treatment with dermal fillers. Please feel free to contact any of our clinics if you have any further questions about the dermal filler products we use.

Am I eligible for dermal filler injections?

Dermal filler injections are not suitable for: people with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients pregnant or breastfeeding mums clients under the age of 18 During your complimentary consultation, your treating medical professional will assess your medical history and skin for suitability for treatment.

How it works

As we mature, our faces change as we produce less collagen. Collagen in our skin keeps skin firm. Bone structure can also change as we age resulting in visibly less volume in our faces.

We provide a variety of services that can revitalise and add volume and shape to the treated areas.

During your personalised consultation your Australian Skin Clinic Aesthetic Nurse will discuss your goals and develop a customised treatment plan for you.
