restore volume and structure to your skin
Dermal fillers MUSE Clinic Sydney 01-3

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 fillers 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 fillers are a versatile treatment that can be used to treat several different areas of the face, including the lips, cheeks, eye area and jawline. A series of small injections can be used to achieve instant and long-lasting results in less than an hour, all without the need for downtime.

Very often, dermal fillers are used in conjunction with anti-wrinkle injections 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 fillers 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 fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally produced by the skin. Along with the treatment adding volume and structure to the skin, dermal fillers will also stimulate collagen production to encourage long-term, anti-aging results.

Small amounts of dermal filler will be precisely injected into 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.

Ideal Candidates for Dermal Fillers

You may not be eligible for treatment with dermal fillers 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 fillers could be the ideal treatment for you.

Dermal Filler Procedure

During your procedure with dermal fillers, tiny injections of filler will be applied to the treatment area at a time. The amount of dermal filler used will depend on the treated area and the desired results.

Once your skin has been analysed and your aesthetic goals have been discussed with your injector, your skin will be prepared for treatment. A topical numbing cream can be applied to minimise any discomfort.

Fine needles will be used to carefully and accurately administer the filler treatment, after which you will be given the opportunity to examine your face and decide if you are happy with the results. If for any reason you are not entirely satisfied, the effects of the dermal filler treatment can be reversed using a dissolving enzyme.

The average dermal filler treatment can last anywhere from 20 – 30 minutes depending on the areas that will be treated and how much product will need to be used. Patients can return to work directly after their treatment.

Dermal Filler Treatment Recovery

Taking care of your treated areas and your overall health after your dermal filler 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.

Dermal Filler Results

Patients can expect to see immediate results following their dermal filler 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 filler that was used and how quickly your body metabolises the product. We will provide you with aftercare instructions that will help enhance and prolong the results of your treatment.

FAQs

Are dermal fillers permanent?

Our dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, which will be naturally dissolved in the body over time. Therefore, while dermal fillers can be long-lasting, they are not permanent and will need top-up treatments to maintain the ideal results. The non-permanent nature of dermal fillers can actually be a positive for many patients, as it allows flexibility in managing the results in the long term.

How long do dermal fillers last?

The rate at which the dermal filler will be dissolved in the body will change from patient to patient. Dermal fillers can last anywhere from six months to two years before being metabolised. To maintain results in the long-term, you will need top-up treatments once the filler has begun to dissolve.

Do dermal fillers hurt?

Dermal fillers are injected with a very fine needle, so patients should only feel a small, sharp sting for about a couple of seconds. To minimise discomfort, your injector can apply a topical numbing cream to the area as a local anaesthetic at the beginning of your treatment.

What’s the difference between dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections?

Dermal fillers smooth wrinkles by adding volume to the treatment area, while anti-wrinkle injections work by relaxing the underlying muscles that cause the skin to crease. Both treatments can create a smoother and more youthful appearance, and the type of treatment that will be best for you will depend on your aesthetic goals and individual characteristics.

Can I combine dermal filler treatment with anti-wrinkle injections?

Yes, dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections can be used together to create optimal results for some patients. It will depend on your desired results, and your individual features such as the depth of the wrinkles in the treatment area. Sometimes, patients who wish to undergo treatment with anti-wrinkle injections will need dermal fillers to better conceal and smooth deeper wrinkles.

What should I do to prepare for my treatment with dermal fillers?

During your consultation, you will be given some preparation instructions that you should follow to maximise your chance of obtaining the best results. To prepare for your dermal filler procedure, you can:

  • Stay hydrated and follow a healthy diet
  • Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before treatment.
  • Avoid any medications or supplements that can hinder the body’s natural healing process. These types of medications and supplements will be identified during your initial consultation
  • Avoid any hair removal treatment in the treatment area for at least two days before your procedure
  • Avoid salty foods for a few days before the procedure
