Dermal Aesthetics

The majority of patients start receiving treatment from the age of 30, but this is different for everyone. Some patients start undergoing 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 dermal aesthetics 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 aesthetic treatments 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 them, 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 aesthetic treatment 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 aesthetics 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 aesthetic treatments can be used to treat any area that has been affected by volume loss, resulting in a sagging, aged appearance.

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 aesthetics 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 dermal aesthetics 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 dermal aesthetics, 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 dermal aesthetics is that one can be reversed. Temporary dermal aesthetics can be dissolved using an injectable enzyme, while permanent dermal aesthetics cannot. The process of injecting permanent dermal aesthetics is also more complex because the procedure does not allow room for error. Permanent dermal aesthetics can be appealing because of the cost-saving benefits. However, temporary dermal aesthetics are often a more suitable choice, mainly because the results can be reversed.
