Lip Fillers Perth

We provide individualised treatment programmes to meet the needs of our clients. Therefore, the cost will vary from patient to patient and will depend upon a number of factors. This includes the type and quantity of filler used, which all depends upon your desired results. Please contact us for more information.

Lip fillers contain imitate substances that bind hydration and are naturally found in your skin. By injecting these substances into the lips, it immediately adds volume to the area. A number of different fillers are available. The product used for your individual treatment will depend on several factors, including your desired results. Generally, a softer filler is used for the lips instead of the usual filler that’s used for other areas of the face. Your requirements will be discussed at your initial consultation before treatment is carried out. We will ensure that we use the best filler for your needs.

Results vary from patient to patient. They depend upon individual circumstances, lifestyle factors and the type of fillers used. Results are immediately noticeable, although, the filler may take two weeks to fully settle.

Generally, lip fillers will last 5-7 months. This can be longer for some patients and shorter for others. To maximise the results of your treatment, make sure that you carefully follow the aftercare advice given by your clinician. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle also makes a difference. Dermal fillers mimic substances naturally found in your body, so they are broken down and absorbed over time. This is when a top-up treatment is required.

Dermal fillers have been used in cosmetic medical treatments for many years and the good news is that complications are very rare. Of course, no procedure is completely risk-free. It’s important to be aware of any potential complications or side effects. Possible risks include unevenness or fillers breaking down faster than desired. If this is the case after your treatment, both these issues can be easily addressed. Other possible complications may include bruising, swelling skin rashes, infection, itching or acne-like symptoms. At Academy Face and Body in Perth, we follow the highest medical standards and aseptic technique. Our highly experienced injectors are overseen by our Medical Director, Dr. Jayson Oates.

To reduce the risk of complications or side effects, there are a number of things that you can do, including:

• Avoid wearing lipstick the day of, and for three days post-treatment
• Avoid applying pressure to your lips for two weeks after your treatment
• If you show signs of swelling or bruising, apply a bruise treatment cream both morning and night
• Avoid excessive alcohol intake as this can increase swelling
• Avoid hot baths, saunas or undertaking strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours
• If you do suffer from swelling, an ice pack can be used to reduce this
• Avoid oil-based moisturisers or cosmetics for 24 hours after your procedure

It is possible to combine lip filler with other types of facial filler, resulting in a more contoured and youthful appearance overall. It’s even possible to combine lip filler with other types of treatments, including PRP injections, wrinkle relaxers and laser treatments. The beauty of being able to do this is that you can design a custom treatment plan. A tailored treatment plan will ensure you achieve your specific aesthetic and anti-ageing goals. Depending on the treatments you’re interested in, your skin concerns and skin type, you may need to space some of the treatments out over the course of several weeks or months. Your Academy Face and Body clinician will provide you with these details during your consultation.

There are a lot of horror stories out there, so it’s only natural to worry about this. However, lip filler injections are not painful. Your pain tolerance and your injector’s technique does play a role though. At Academy Face and Body clinic in Perth, we not only use a topical numbing cream but advanced injection techniques too. You will feel little to no discomfort during your session, so this doesn’t need to be a cause for concern.

Since fine needles are used, there is usually some slight pin-point bleeding. Fortunately, this is minimal and stops very quickly. The only time that there might be more bleeding than usual is if you’ve taken blood-thinning medication prior to your appointment. If this is the case, there could also be some additional bruising. It’s for this reason that it’s best to stay away from any medications or supplements that can thin your blood prior to your treatment.

Since all of our injectors are both qualified and experienced, your lips will look and feel natural after your filler session. Lumps only occur when filler is not administered correctly. You will need to wait for all swelling to subside first though.

Every patient is different and wants to achieve a slightly different result. Your Academy Face and Body clinician will guide you in terms of the number of units you will require. Remember, less is more and a gradual approach is best. The good news is that if you’re unhappy with your results, they can be reversed using a dissolving enzyme. However, it’s always easier to add a little at a time until you understand how your lips react and look.
