Dermal Volumiser and Contouring Before and After
As we age, the skin becomes less elastic and collagen levels decrease, so it’s only natural for lines and wrinkles to start appearing. Factors such as dehydration, sun damage and smoking can also affect the appearance of your skin over time.
When a loss of elasticity and collagen is combined with the effects of gravity, the skin begins to sag in conjunction with the appearance of lines and wrinkles, which can alter your appearance and affect your confidence. Dermal volumiser and contouring treatments are a non-invasive treatment that helps restore volume to the areas of your face that need it the most, while also stimulating the production of collagen.
Dermal volumiser and contouring treatments are a versatile treatment that can be used to treat several different areas of the face, including the lips, cheeks, eye area and jawline. Precise treatments can be used to achieve instant and long-lasting results in less than an hour, all without the need for downtime.
Very often, dermal volumiser and contouring treatments are used in conjunction with wrinkle reduction treatments to completely rejuvenate the face. At MUSE Clinic Sydney, we will help you create a tailored treatment plan that will address your unique skin concerns, leaving you with supple and vibrant skin that stands the test of time.
What to Expect
Dermal volumiser and contouring treatments are an ideal treatment for men and women who want to restore volume and structure to the skin, while minimising some of the most common signs of ageing.
Dermal volumiser and contouring treatments contain hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally produced by the skin. Along with the treatment adding volume and structure to the skin, dermal volumiser and contouring will also stimulate collagen production to encourage long-term, anti-aging results.
Dermal volumiser and contouring will be precisely delivered to the treatment area after applying a topical numbing cream to ensure a comfortable treatment. After treatment, patients can return home or to their normal daily routine, experiencing minimal downtime.
What Can Be Treated with Dermal Volumiser and Contouring Treatments?
Here are some of the most common areas and concerns that can be treated with dermal volumiser and contouring treatments:
- Facial Wrinkles: Improve facial wrinkles, furrows and hollows that have formed due to weight loss or ageing
- Cheeks and Chin: Enhance and add more definition to the cheeks and chin
- Scarring: Plump out depressed surgical or injury scars. Acne scars can also be treated

Ideal Candidates for Dermal Volumiser and Contouring Treatments
We will be able to determine whether you are an ideal candidate for dermal volumiser and contouring treatments following your consultation. You may not be eligible for treatment with dermal volumiser and contouring treatments if the skin in the desired treatment area is inflamed or infected, you have a history of keloid scarring, or you have certain medical conditions. Overall, if you are in good health physically but have started to notice a general loss of volume in your face, dermal volumiser and contouring treatments could be the ideal treatment for you. This includes sunken cheeks, thinner lips and general skin sagginess. In cases where skin laxity is more severe, surgical improvements may need to be considered.
Dermal Volumiser and Contouring Treatment Procedure
During your procedure treatment will be applied to the areas of concern. The amount of dermal volumiser and contouring treatment necessary will depend on the treated area and the desired results.
Once your skin has been analysed and your aesthetic goals have been discussed with the clinical staff, your skin will be prepared for treatment. A topical numbing cream may be applied to minimise any discomfort.
If for any reason you are not entirely satisfied, the effects of the dermal volumiser and contouring treatment can be adjusted or even reversed using a dissolving enzyme agent.
The average dermal volumiser and contouring treatment can last anywhere from 30 – 60 minutes depending on the complexity of the areas that will be treated. Patients can typically return to work directly after their treatment.
Dermal Volumiser and Contouring Treatment Recovery
Taking care of your treated areas and your overall health after your procedure will boost your recovery process. It will be important to monitor the treated area and report any concerning signs to your doctor as soon as possible.
To support your recovery, you should:
- Clean the treatment area as instructed
- Lightly apply cold compress to reduce swelling
- Stay hydrated and follow a healthy diet
- Avoid excessive heat exposure
- Avoid rubbing or touching the treatment area
- Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, Retinol or Vitamin C products, and oil-based makeup products for 24 hours
- Avoid skin treatment such as facials, waxing, peels, microdermabrasion and IPL treatments for two weeks
Dermal Volumiser and Contouring Treatment Results
Patients can expect to see immediate results following their treatment at MUSE Clinic Sydney. However, any swelling or redness will need to subside before you can see the final outcome of your treatment.
The results of your treatment can last six months to two years depending on the type of treatment that was used. We will provide you with aftercare instructions that will help enhance and prolong the results of your treatment.
Your dermal volumiser and contouring treatment results are temporary though, which means you will require top-up treatments if you want to maintain your results. Once lines and wrinkles start to become more visible again, you will need to schedule your next treatment.
Costs of Dermal Volumiser and Contouring Treatment at MUSE Clinic Sydney
Costs will depend on the specific treatment areas, the total treatment time, and the type of dermal volumiser and contouring treatment used. Since treatment does not create permanent results, it is important to note that top-up treatments will be necessary over time to maintain the initial outcome of the procedure.
To better determine your total procedure costs, you will need to book your consultation at MUSE Clinic in Sydney. One of our clinical staff can create a treatment plan based on your individual characteristics and desired results, allowing you to receive a personalised quote.
