Dermal Fillers are made from a water loving molecule that is found naturally in the skin and countless skincare products. The main role of dermal fillers are to attract water and provide hydration to the skin to softly revitalise your facial features.

Dermal fillers are administered via injection to different layers of the skin, with natural-looking results.

We offer a wide variety of different dermal fillers to achieve a number of outcomes. All dermal fillers used at Liberty Belle Skin Centre are of the highest quality, TGA approved and are carefully selected based on scientific data and ongoing research.

Dermal fillers are most commonly used to:

• Naturally enhance, volumise and define younger lips
• Subtly rejuvenate more mature lips that have lost volume over time, causing thinning and fine lines around the mouth
• Hydrate the skin from within using skin booster technology – hydrate and restore skin without altering shape
• Strengthen the skin to minimise facial lines and creases
• Define and enhance – adding facial structure, volume and shape to the chin, cheek and jawline
• Restore volume to the temples and tear troughs
• Sculpt the nose
• Correct deeper nasolabial folds, down turned lip corners and ‘marionette’ lines
• Improve the appearance of depressed scars, including acne scars
• Rejuvenate the face

The costs for dermal fillers depend on the number and extent of areas that need treatment. Please contact our clinic to receive information on costs that is relevant to your personal aims and requirements.

Anti wrinkle injections work by relaxing the targeted muscles that are apparent when making an expression or animating the face eg. frowning. This softens the appearance of lines and wrinkles in the area of concern.

Dermal fillers are performed by injecting a gel designed to fill wrinkles, restore volume and enhance hydration. They are injected into different layers of the skin to address a wide variety of individual skin and contour concerns.

Anti-Wrinkle injections and Dermal fillers are often used in conjunction with each other. Some areas of the face are better suited to anti-wrinkle injections, whereas others may require dermal fillers. At the time of consultation, your practitioner will advise you on which treatment best addresses your individual concerns.

Our Cosmetic Doctors and Cosmetic Nurses perform anti-wrinkle injections to the highest standards and have extensive experience in their application. We allow you ample time to communicate your aesthetic goals to us, and use our expertise to help you achieve your desired outcome. The experience you have with us is very important. We offer various ways to help alleviate any discomfort or anxiety from the procedure.

The first step is simply contacting us for your initial anti-wrinkle injection consultation, where we will discuss with you what is a realistic and achievable outcome, and what to expect from your treatment.

Making that first phone call about any cosmetic procedure can be a confronting task – many of our patients have preferred filling out our online enquiry form. We can then contact you with an understanding of the results you are hopeful of achieving and ensure the treatment is appropriate.

After an extensive consultation, your injecting clinician will take photographs before they begin.

The procedure is carried out using the highest infection control standards. Skin will be cleaned using a disinfectant solution prior to any injections.

Using either a needle or cannula, the clinician will inject the product from different entry points.

Clients are to expect some bruising and swelling after the treatment. The level of downtime is dependent on the area being treated and the technique being used.  Your clinician will discuss possible downtime with you prior to commencing any treatment.

Most of dermal fillers contain local anaesthetic to assist with pain levels. Your clinician will discuss pain management prior to commencement of treatment. We have a variety of methods to help keep discomfort to a minimum.

Swelling at the injection site is normal. This is generally more severe when lips have been injected. Bruising is also common, which can take several days to subside.

Other possible side effects and complications will depend on the exact type of filler and technique being used. Our team of doctors and nurses will assess any risk factors before the treatment goes ahead.

All cosmetic treatments carry risks. Our on-site doctor will discuss these risks with you prior to the commencement of your treatment. This way you can make an informed decision about whether or not you wish to proceed with the discussed treatment plan.

Avoid wearing make up to appointments where possible.

If you have an active infection or virus or are feeling unwell it is best to call and reschedule your appointment.

Avoid dermal filler treatments 2 weeks either side of dental appointments.

If you are planning your filler treatment around a long flight, try to have your treatment done 2 weeks prior to flying. It’s ideal to fly once all of the initial swelling expected after a filler treatment has subsided.

If you are prone to cold sores prepare for this as filler treatments (especially in the lip area) can initiate a cold sore. Treatments cannot be carried out if you have an active cold sore.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or actively trying to conceive we cannot carry out a dermal filler or anti -wrinkle treatment.

Best results will emerge 2 – 4 weeks after the procedure. Depending on the area injected and the type of filler used, this can then last anywhere between 6 and 18 months. Your treating clinician will advise the appropriate treatment interval.

One of the biggest advantages of dermal fillers is that they are long-lasting, but unlike permanent treatments and implants they will still wear off after a period of time. This gives you the opportunity to re-evaluate your needs and perhaps choose a new aesthetic outcome later on.

The Australian therapeutic goods administration (TGA) guidelines do not allow the use of specific medical product names on the internet. Therefore, all references on this site refer to approved headings of anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers and lip enhancement. The practice uses only the highest quality and medically tested products available. As we cannot discuss the individual products, the details of adverse effects possible can only be discussed at your consultation.
