Due to current advertising restrictions, treatment pricing cannot be published online.

We are also unable to provide treatment pricing by phone, email or social media.

A consultation is required before treatment recommendations and associated costs can be discussed.

Treatment recommendations and associated costs vary between individuals and depend on factors such as anatomy, treatment goals, treatment planning and clinical assessment.

Due to current advertising restrictions, product information cannot be published online.

We are also unable to provide product information by phone, email or social media.

The products used within our clinic are approved for use in Australia and are sourced through appropriate Australian suppliers.

Product selection varies between individuals and depends on factors such as anatomy, treatment goals, treatment area and clinical assessment.

If treatment is appropriate, product information will be discussed during your consultation.

Current advertising restrictions limit the information that can be published online regarding certain aesthetic treatments.

These regulations restrict information such as treatment descriptions, product information, pricing and other treatment-specific details.

There are significant penalties for non-compliance, so we have intentionally chosen to provide general educational information rather than detailed treatment-specific information.

More detailed information can be discussed during your consultation where appropriate.

Recovery following volumising treatments will vary depending on the individual, treatment performed, product used and medical history.

Bruising, swelling, tenderness and redness are common side effects and can occur during treatment or within the first 48 hours following treatment.

We do not recommend scheduling volumising treatments within two weeks of an important event to allow time for any swelling or bruising to settle.

Whilst most swelling improves significantly within the first few weeks, it can take up to six weeks for volumising treatments to fully settle into their final appearance.

Please visit our General aftercare and Brusing pages for post-treatment advice.

Most swelling improves significantly within the first 24–48 hours following treatment.

However, some areas, particularly those that naturally retain more fluid, may take up to six weeks to settle completely.

Bruising may also contribute to prolonged swelling in some individuals.

If swelling progressively worsens, is associated with increasing pain, or you have any concerns about your recovery, please contact your practitioner.

Yes. 

A history of cold sores does not necessarily prevent you from having volumising treatments around the lips.

However, treatments in this area may trigger a recurrence in some people. If you have a history of cold sores, please let your practitioner know before your appointment. 

As a precaution, antiviral medication may be recommended before treatment to help reduce this risk.

Antiviral medication is available from your local pharmacy without a prescription. It is supplied by the pharmacist, so you’ll need to ask for it at the pharmacy counter.

Most swelling improves significantly within the first 24–48 hours following treatment.

However, some areas, particularly those that naturally retain more fluid, may take up to six weeks to settle completely.

Bruising may also contribute to prolonged swelling in some individuals.

If swelling progressively worsens, is associated with increasing pain, or you have any concerns about your recovery, please contact your practitioner.

Immediately following treatment, you will notice a result. However, this is not your final result.

During the first few days, some swelling is expected and may make the treated area appear fuller than the final outcome.

As the swelling settles, you may become more aware of the treatment area. It may feel slightly firm, lumpy or uneven during the first two weeks. This is a normal part of the healing process.

The result continues to improve as the treatment settles, with the final outcome generally assessed after approximately six weeks.

Treatment longevity varies between individuals.

Factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, treatment area and individual response may influence how long treatment effects remain noticeable.

Review requirements vary between individuals.

During the first few days following treatment, some swelling is expected. As the swelling settles, the treatment will continue to integrate over the following two to six weeks before the final result can be accurately assessed.

If, after approximately four weeks, you are concerned about your treatment outcome or are not happy with your result, please book a review appointment. 

In most cases, your practitioner will need to assess the area in person before determining whether any further treatment or adjustment is appropriate.

If you are experiencing anything that is listed under “What is not normal” in the aftercare section, please contact your practitioner immediately.

Yes. 

All medical treatments involve risks, limitations and potential side effects.

Whilst these complications are very rare, we discuss them because early recognition and management are important, and we want you to know what to look out for.

The potential risks, side effects and complications relevant to your treatment will be discussed with you during your consultation prior to treatment. You will also receive aftercare instructions verbally, via email and on your patient aftercare card.

If you are experiencing anything that is listed under “What is not normal” in the aftercare section, please contact your practitioner immediately.
