Anti-wrinkle injections prevent muscle contraction and are used to help prevent new, and reduce the appearance of, old or emerging wrinkles. Whereas dermal filler replaces lost volume and is used to fill out depressed areas of the face, plump up cheeks or lips and rejuvenate the skin.
No, fillers are not bad for your skin health. All of our fillers are TGA-approved and contain natural substances already found in your body. In some cases, fillers can improve your skin health by promoting the natural production of collagen.
Dermal fillers typically last from 9 to 24 months depending on factors such as facial structure, skin texture and which type of filler is used. Most people require a top-up approximately every 12 months.
It’s essential that treatment is carried out by qualified and Specialist Plastic Surgeon or experienced Cosmetic Doctors or Nurses. If carried out by a skilled medical practitioner, dermal fillers are considered safe. To minimise the chance of any further risk, we only use fillers that are completely dissolvable. These types of fillers are considered the safest available.
There may be some mild redness, swelling and discomfort after treatment. Uncommonly, there can be lumpiness and other cosmetic concerns. Infections and other more serious complications are rare. It is important to undertake a thorough medical and aesthetic assessment with an EST Clinic Specialist Plastic Surgeon prior to getting such aesthetic treatments.
No, we highly recommend that you don’t have any cosmetic injectables while pregnant or breastfeeding.
No, dermal fillers typically don’t hurt. The injections themselves might provide a small moment of discomfort but most fillers contain a local anaesthetic which minimises any pain. The treatment areas can also have a topical anaesthetic applied to them prior to treatment, to reduce any potential discomfort even further.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
