Facial volume treatments can be used to add volume to the face, create structure and shape, and improve facial symmetry.

Like other medical procedures,  there are risks involved with facial volume treatments; largely bruising, swelling, and redness. These effects are temporary. It is important to keep the treated area clean and avoid excess sweating for 24 hours to prevent infection. 

Facial volume treatments offer a number of benefits, including:

• They can be used to treat a wide range of concerns, including loss of volume, structure & definition, hydration and can also promote collagen production.
• They are minimally invasive and can provide immediate results.
• The results of facial volume treatments can last for several months or even years.

There are a number of different types of facial volume treatments available, each with its own unique properties and benefits. The most common type of facial volume treatments are hyaluronic acid (HA) based. HA products are temporary and can typically last from 4 to 18 months depending on the type of product used, environmental factors and the patient’s metabolism. Other types of facial volume treatments include poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) products and calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) fillers. PLLA and CaHA products are more permanent and can last for up to 3 years.

The cost of facial volume treatments in Australia varies depending on the type of product used, the amount of product needed, and the provider. 

When choosing a practitioner for facial volume treatments, it is important to select someone who is qualified and experienced. You should also make sure that the practitioner uses only high-quality facial volume products that have been approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).

Here are some additional tips for considering facial volume treatments in Australia:

• It is imperative for patients when seeking out a practitioner that they have the same aesthetic ideals. Practitioners can have very different styles and methods. An ideal aesthetic outcome for one practitioner may differ from another completely. Going for initial consultations and meeting the practitioner face-to-face is essential, as this allows for a better understanding of their philosophy and if you feel comfortable under their care.
• We also always recommend doing your research, social media allows for a glimpse into a clinic. Your version of ’natural’ may be entirely different to a practitioners version of ’natural’, hence why all of the above are important to take into consideration. 
• Discuss your expectations with your practitioner before your treatment. Be sure to express your concerns and goals so that your practitioner can develop a customised treatment plan for you.
• Follow your practitioner’s post-treatment instructions carefully to minimise the risk of side effects.
