- Double chin reduction
- Anti-sweating injections
Dermal fillers
Our Dermal fillers are premium hyaluronic acid based gels, from leading TGA approved companies within Australia. The gel substance is injected into the skin with the purpose of restoring lost volume, to soften and fill lines and folds, contour the cheeks and jawline and rejuvenate and augment the lips.
How is it used?
As we age, we start to notice changes to our appearance, such as loss of subcutaneous fat, change in the structure of bones, gravity and loss of elastin and collagen, saggy skin, deep lines and hollowing over facial features.
Dermal fillers can be used to restore this lost volume, contour the shape of the face and enhance facial features naturally.

In short, common anti-wrinkle injections treatments requested are:
- Forehead lines

How long does it last?
The amount of product required depends on the amount of deficit there is or the amount of lift required. The total amount of product required will be discussed during the consultation process. If there is a fair amount of volume deficit, then multiple treatments may be required to achieve the results you are seeking. Eventually we achieve the desired result, and move into a maintenance phase, requiring yearly top-ups.
How long does it take to work?
To clarify, the result will take up to 5 days to begin to work. After that, the full result should be expected at 2 weeks.
What are the side effects?
Generally with any injection, mild bruising, tingling and swelling at the injection site are common. However, will go undetected within a few hours and can be camouflaged with some makeup if required. In addition, it can be common to develop a headache or flu like symptoms for a few days after the procedure.
