Anti-wrinkle injections work by relaxing specific facial muscles that cause wrinkles (e.g., frown lines, crow's feet). Dermal fillers, typically made of hyaluronic acid, add volume to areas that have lost fullness, smooth deep lines, or enhance features like lips, cheeks, or jawline. They target different signs of aging.
The effects of anti-wrinkle injections generally last between 3 to 6 months. The duration can vary based on the treated area, the product used, individual metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Regular follow-up treatments can help maintain results.
Dermal filler results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used, the treatment area (e.g., lips often break down faster than cheeks), individual metabolism, and lifestyle. The filler material is eventually metabolized by the body.
The cost of lip fillers in Gold Coast varies based on the amount of product used (e.g., 0.5ml vs 1ml) and the clinic. Prices typically range from $350-$600+ for 1ml, with some clinics offering smaller amounts from around $200-$350.
Common, temporary side effects include redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. More serious but rare complications can occur, which is why choosing a highly trained practitioner is crucial.
Aftercare typically involves avoiding touching or massaging the treated area for 24-48 hours, avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive alcohol, extreme temperatures (saunas, hot baths), and lying flat for a few hours post-treatment. Specific instructions will be provided by your clinician.
While rare, allergic reactions to dermal fillers can occur. Most modern fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, which minimizes the risk. A thorough medical history will be taken during your consultation to identify potential allergies.
