Dermal fillers have been used in cosmetic medicine as a method of restoring volume for a long time. Volumizing the lips, gently restoring structure, and treating fine lines are just a few of the ways that fillers are used.
There are a variety of different fillers available, and the type that is used will depend on the area of your face being treated and your desired outcome. For great dermal filler results in Perth, visit Academy Face and Body.
Injectable dermal fillers are very popular for the improvement of lines, augmentation of the lips, and for replacing missing volume, resulting in a youthful and balanced look. These injectable gels are used to gently restore structure and volume to the face, creating more harmonious features. Results will vary depending on genetics and lifestyle.
Most fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in your body. Hyaluronic acid works by attracting and holding water in your skin, adding volume to the desired areas. There are numerous types of fillers available and the results that you wish to achieve will determine the type of filler used. Sometimes, a combination of products can be required to achieve optimal results. This will be discussed during your individual consultation, where we will conduct a full facial assessment.
Dermal fillers can be used to:
We will help you determine if you are a good candidate for dermal fillers during your initial consultation. In general, good candidates for treatment with dermal fillers include those who:
Dermal fillers may not be suitable for some patients. Reasons that a patient may not be eligible for treatment can include:
Following your consultation, or on the day when you arrive for your procedure, a numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area for 10 – 20 minutes, to ensure a comfortable treatment.
Once the area is numb, your injector may temporarily mark certain points on your treatment area in order to perform a precise treatment. Your skin is then gently and thoroughly cleaned, and with precision and attention to detail, the dermal fillers are applied. The needles are very fine and each injection is quick to administer. Depending on the area being treated, your injector may then massage the area to create the desired shape or ensure the right distribution of filler. To finish off your treatment, marks that may have been made will be cleaned off, and you will be ready to walk out of the clinic with minimal discomfort, set to recover with minimal to no downtime.
Total treatment time will depend on how much filler you need, as well as your specific treatment areas and goals. Dermal fillers are considered minimally invasive and can be done in less than an hour.
Results can be seen instantly, however, the full results of your treatment will be visible once any swelling or redness has completely settled, which can take up to 14 days.
Dermal fillers can be used to treat any area that has been affected by volume loss, resulting in a sagging or aged appearance. Some of the most popular areas that can be addressed with dermal fillers include:
Your costs for treatment with dermal fillers will depend on the amount of filler used, the type of filler, the treatment area/s, and other individual factors. Therefore, prices will vary per patient.

After your dermal filler treatment, you may experience some minor swelling, redness or tenderness at the treatment site. Some bruising may occur at the point of injection, which, in most cases, can be covered with makeup and will usually resolve within four to five days. You will be able to walk out of the clinic and resume your daily activities as normal, provided that you avoid strenuous exercise and excessive heat for 24 hours.
One of our experienced injectors at Academy Face and Body in Perth will outline the important aftercare instructions that you should follow to ensure that you will recover well, and achieve your ideal results.
Depending on the dermal filler used, you may be numb in areas for up to two hours, however, most effects should wear off within 30 to 60 minutes.
Recommendations to help ease minor side effects, speed up recovery and keep you feeling your best after receiving cosmetic injectables include:
No treatment with cosmetic injections is without potential risks and side effects. Most side effects and complications can be addressed if they arise and will be discussed in greater depth at your consultation. A positive of dermal filler injections is that they are not permanent. If for any reason you are unhappy with the appearance of your results, a dissolving enzyme can be used to reverse the effects of the injections.
Potential complications include lumpiness, uneven results, rapid loss of results, bruising, and bleeding. Rarely, complications can also include damage to skin, infection, and skin necrosis.
Correctly caring for your skin after treatment and following your aftercare instructions can reduce your risk of complications arising. Additionally, adhering to your preparation instructions can ensure a good recovery after treatment.
Preparing for your treatment with dermal fillers can help you obtain the best results possible, and can provide you with the foundation for a smooth and fast recovery. To prepare for your treatment:
You might be instructed to stop taking certain medications for a set amount of time before your treatment. This will be outlined to you during your initial consultation. Make sure that you notify your injector of any health conditions you may have, and any medications that you are taking.
The majority of patients start receiving treatment with dermal fillers from the age of 30, but this is different for everyone. Some patients start undergoing dermal filler treatments from as young as 25. Both genetics and lifestyle factors can determine how soon you should start considering treatment. If you are unsure whether cosmetic injectables are right for you at your current stage in life, we recommend booking a consultation at Academy Face and Body in Perth, where you can discuss your goals with one of our friendly, understanding, and highly experienced injectors. The current condition of your skin can be assessed, as well as your individual factors, to determine the best treatment plan to suit your needs.
The beauty of the dermal fillers used at Academy Face and Body is that, while they can produce long-lasting results, they are not permanent and therefore allow for customisation and flexibility. Unsatisfactory results can be addressed by dissolving the filler, or will naturally be metabolised by the body over time. Results can be maintained over time, or can be slightly adjusted per treatment to suit your aesthetic goals.
You will see an immediate result following your first treatment. However, once the dermal filler has settled, typically within two to four weeks after your first treatment, you may require a touch-up. This will particularly apply if you are receiving dermal fillers for the first time. It is always good to take a gradual approach to ensure that your face doesn’t look overdone. It is better to have to add more filler later on, instead of ending up with too much. Your Academy Face and Body injector will provide you with the best recommendations, tailoring a treatment plan to your individual needs.
Basically, dermal fillers can be used to treat any area that has been affected by volume loss, resulting in a sagging, aged appearance.
A numbing cream is used prior to treatment, so patients will usually find that they feel very little to no discomfort. The gel is then injected into the treatment areas with a very fine needle, giving an immediate result.
You may find that your face is a little red, blotchy or puffy, and in the case of lips, you may be swollen. There is also a potential for bruising. However, you should not experience any pain or discomfort that is unmanageable after your session.
These reactions are a normal response to the injections. Some types of dermal fillers tend to create more swelling than others. Minor reactions will resolve in the following one to five days for most patients.
To maintain your results, repeat treatments are required every five to nine months. In some cases, repeat treatments will only be required after every 18 – 24 months. The rate at which additional treatments may be required will depend on the area treated, the type of dermal filler used, the individual’s metabolism, and the amount of product used. Following a good skincare routine, adhering to your recovery instructions, and leading a healthy lifestyle can also help you to maintain your ideal results in the long term.
Temporary fillers are made from a substance that can be found naturally in the body. Over time, the substance is metabolised by the body. Therefore, as the name indicates, results are temporary and typically will not last longer than 12 – 24 months depending on the filler used. Permanent fillers, on the other hand, are made from substances that can’t be naturally found in the body.
One of the key differences between these two types of fillers is that one can be reversed. Temporary fillers can be dissolved using an injectable enzyme, while permanent fillers cannot. The process of injecting permanent fillers is also more complex because the procedure does not allow room for error. Permanent fillers can be appealing because of the cost-saving benefits. However, temporary dermal fillers are often a more suitable choice, mainly because the results can be reversed.
A consultation may be booked to discuss individual needs and desired results, and to assess the suitability of dermal fillers. It is at this point that the most suitable products to achieve desired results will be determined.
