VOLUME REPLACEMENT TREATMENT FAQ

Question 1.

What should I expect during a volumising treatment?​​

​
During a volumising treatment, our goal is to make the experience as comfortable and efficient as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

• Preparation: A topical anaesthetic is applied to the treatment area to minimise discomfort. In some cases, local anaesthetic injections may also be used. Cold packs may be applied post-treatment to reduce swelling.

• Treatment Procedure: Fine needles or cannulas are used depending on the treatment area and technique. Discomfort is generally brief and manageable.

• Consultation: Prior to treatment, you can discuss your goals and ask questions. Your practitioner will explain the process and expected outcomes.

• Post-Treatment Care: Guidance will be provided to care for treated areas, including cold packs and skincare recommendations to optimise results.

​

Question 2.

How soon will I see results?

Volumisers provide almost immediate improvements with the desired results seen 4-6 weeks after your treatment. 

 

This is when the product has had time to settle and soften.

​

• Immediate Effects: You may notice softening of wrinkles and enhanced volume as soon as the treatment is complete.

• Refinement: Minor swelling or redness may settle over the following days, allowing the results to fully integrate.

• Longevity: Results can last several months up to two years depending on product type, treatment area, lifestyle, and degree of volume loss. Highly mobile areas of the face may wear off faster.

​

Question 3.

What aftercare steps should I follow?

Proper aftercare helps ensure optimal results:

• Immediate Care: Expect mild swelling, redness, or bruising. Cold compresses can help.

• Cleansing & Skincare: Gently cleanse skin for the first two days and avoid active or acidic products. Post-treatment-friendly makeup like Oxygenetix may be used.

• Activity Restrictions: Avoid strenuous exercise for 48 hours, swimming pools for 1 week, and direct sun for 2 weeks. Use SPF 50+ when outdoors.

• Additional Treatments: LED light therapy may help reduce redness and bruising. Home-use devices like Airyday LED masks are available and TGA-approved.

• Follow-Up: Book a check-in 4 weeks after treatment to review results and address questions.

​

Question 4.

Are there any medications or activities to avoid before treatment?

To minimise bruising and ensure safety:

• Blood-Thinning Medications & Supplements: Avoid aspirin, NSAIDs (like ibuprofen), fish oil, vitamin E, turmeric, and ginkgo biloba. Consult your healthcare provider before stopping any prescription medication.

• Alcohol: Avoid alcohol for at least 48 hours before treatment.

• Sun Exposure: Limit sun or tanning to prevent irritation.

• Other Cosmetic Procedures: Avoid treatments causing inflammation, like chemical peels or laser, in the days leading up to your appointment.

​

Question 5.

What is the role of hyaluronic acid in volumisers?

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance that helps volumisers enhance skin texture and volume:

• Moisture Retention: HA attracts and binds water, keeping skin hydrated.

• Plumping Effect: Adds fullness to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

• Long-Lasting Results: Effects typically last several months due to its biocompatibility and ability to integrate with the skin.

​

HA is widely used because it is safe, effective, and well-tolerated by most skin types.

​

Question 6.

How should I prepare for a volumisers session?

Preparation can improve results and minimise side effects:

• Consultation: Meet with your cosmetic nurse to discuss goals and determine product volume.

• Medications & Supplements: Temporarily avoid blood-thinners as advised by your practitioner.

• Alcohol & Lifestyle: Avoid alcohol for 48 hours before treatment.

• Sun & Skin Care: Avoid sunburn, tanning, and other cosmetic procedures that may irritate the skin.

• Professional Guidance: Contact your clinic for personalised preparation advice.

​

Question 7.

Are volumisers suitable for all skin types?

Yes, volumisers are designed to suit a wide range of skin types:

• Compatibility: High-quality products work well on dry, oily, combination, and sensitive skin.

• Versatility: Can target fine lines, restore volume, or improve facial contours.

• Low Risk of Allergic Reaction: Biocompatible materials like HA minimise irritation.

• Customisable Treatments: Practitioners can adjust technique based on your skin’s unique needs.

​

Consultation with a qualified health care practitioner ensures a safe, effective treatment tailored to your skin type.

​

Question 8.

Is the treatment painful?

Most clients experience minimal discomfort:

• Anaesthesia: Topical or local anaesthetic is applied for comfort.

• Brief Sensation: the treatment may feel like a slight pinch or brief pressure.

• Post-Treatment Comfort: Cold packs may be applied immediately to reduce swelling.

• Consultation: Discuss any pain concerns with your practitioner to set expectations and adapt the approach if needed.

​

• Treatment Area: Smaller or delicate areas (e.g., under eyes) may cost differently than larger areas.

• Type of Product: Different volumisers are designed for specific results.

• Volume Needed: More product may be required for a more dramatic effect.

• Number of Sessions: Multiple treatments may be needed to achieve your goals.

• Natural ingredients: hyaluronic acid hydrates and plumps the skin.

 

Combination Treatments:
Volumisers can be combined with wrinkle reducing treatments or skin treatments for optimal results, particularly for deep-set lines.
 

Question 14.

How do volumisers compare to other cosmetic treatments for wrinkles and volume loss?

 

Sometimes a combination of volumisers and treatments that reduce the appearance of wrinkles might be needed if the line is very deep.  If it remains visible after having the wrinkle relaxed, a volumising product may help to lift and soften the wrinkle. 

​

Reducing the appearance of wrinkle treatment work on movement lines, with time and regular maintenance the wrinkle will soften and might not need to be filled with volumisers.

​

Question 15.

How do volumisers compare to other cosmetic treatments for wrinkles and volume loss?

​

1. Quick and Effective: Results appear almost instantly, offering a noticeable difference without the downtime associated with surgical procedures.

2. Long-Lasting Effects: With effects lasting up from 6-22 months provide lasting rejuvenation. Results vary greatly among individuals according to the type of product used, patient’s lifestyle, degree of volume loss, medical history, the area being treated and metabolism.

3. Natural Ingredients: Made with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, fillers bind to water, enhancing skin moisture and smoothness.

​

As we age, the natural production of hyaluronic acid decreases, particularly after the age of 30. Volumisers replenish this vital component, instantly restoring lost volume and enhancing your natural features. This makes them an excellent choice compared to other treatments that may not address volume loss as effectively.

​

In certain cases, combining volumisers with other treatments like reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and combined with skin treatments can yield optimal results, especially for deep-set lines. This combination approach allows for personalised solutions tailored to individual needs, ensuring that each treatment is as unique as the person receiving it.
