Usual Symptoms
After receiving Volume enhancement or facial contour treatments, downtime is minimal, and most individuals can resume their daily activities right away. However, depending on your skin’s sensitivity and any medications you are taking (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood thinners), you may experience temporary, minor side effects like:
- Slight swelling at or near the injection site
- Mild tenderness or bruising around the treatment areas
- Mild redness at the treatment sites
Next Steps:
To account for varying results, we recommend attending a follow-up appointment two weeks post-treatment to assess your results.
Aftercare instruction

- Apply cold compresses for 24 hours

FAQs
How much does it cost?
In Australia, advertising regulations prevent us from disclosing the specific brands of Volume Enhancement Treatments we utilise and their cost.
Rest assured, our prices are very reasonable! Get all the care, hygiene and results without the beautician price tag.
For enhancements of 1ml our price starts from $360 for new clients. Note that most clinics advertise a lower price, but only for 0.5ml.
All treatments can only be performed after a practitioner-led consultation determining you are eligible for treatment.
Am I a candidate for Volume Enhancement Treatments?
If you’re concerned with sagging skin, drooping facial contours, wrinkles, creases, and you’d like to achieve firmer, younger skin, then you’re a good candidate for injectable Volume Enhancement Treatment. Both women and men of all ages can benefit from filler because it’s not just used for anti-aging but also to enhance facial symmetry and features.
What brands of Volume Enhancement Treatment do you use?
In Australia, advertising regulations prevent us from disclosing the specific brands of Volume Enhancement Treatments we utilise. Since Volume Enhancement Treatments are classified as prescription medicine, only medical professionals have the authority to prescribe them. Therefore, a consultation with us is essential to determine the suitability of Volume Enhancement Treatments for your facial needs. At HBL Cosmetic Clinic, we incorporate premium Volume Enhancement Treatments sourced from reputable brands. Feel free to inquire about your choices and explore further details during your consultation with us.
Can I have other treatments with Volume Enhancement Treatments?
Many patients opt to complement their Volume Enhancement Treatments with additional non-surgical facial procedures, particularly Wrinkle Reduction Treatments. Volume Enhancement Treatments enhance facial volume and contours, while Wrinkle Reduction Treatments target fine lines and wrinkles as part of an anti-aging approach. Further details on whether this combination is right for you can be discussed during your consultation.
Do Volume Enhancement Treatments have any side effects?
Most people tolerate Volume Enhancement Treatment injections very well, even after many years of use. However, with any medical procedure, there are some temporary side-effects such as swelling, redness, and bruising. These normally resolve after several hours or days.
It is also possible to develop some rare complications, such as infection or lumps (called granulomas). The good news is if patients need to reverse the filler, it can be instantly dissolved with a special enzyme.
In extremely rare cases, Volume Enhancement Treatment can block blood supply if injected into the blood vessels rather than beneath the skin. This can lead to skin death and, in severe cases, blindness. It is for this reason that we always stress seeing a highly experienced cosmetic injector who knows how to avoid these complications.
How long do Volume Enhancement Treatments last?
Volume Enhancement Treatments are not permanent and will eventually be absorbed by the body. How quickly this happens will depend on factors such as the treatment area, the type of filler used and your skin type, lifestyle, and age.
As a general rule, you can expect Volume Enhancement Treatments to last between nine months and two years, although dermal lip fillers may only last for around six months. If this is your first time having Volume Enhancement Treatments, keep in mind that you may require regular treatments every few months before reaching your aesthetic goals. After this, we suggest scheduling top-up treatments every 6 to 12 months.
How do I prepare for Volume Enhancement Treatments?
There are a number of things that you should do to prepare for a Volume Enhancement Treatment treatment. Most importantly, you will need to avoid anything that may thin the blood, including alcohol, ibuprofen, fish oil, omega-3 supplements, and vitamin E for a week before treatment. If you are prone to cold sores, you may need to speak to your doctor or pharmacist about taking prophylactic medication prior to treatment. If you have had a recent vaccination, be sure to wait at least two weeks before scheduling your Volume Enhancement Treatment treatment.
Do Volume Enhancement Treatments hurt?
At HBL Cosmetic Clinic, we ensure that the treatment area is numbed before giving Volume Enhancement Treatment injections, making the process quite comfortable. When the product is injected, you might experience a slight pressure or stinging sensation. Whether you perceive it as painful or not will vary based on the treated area and your personal pain threshold.
How much Volume Enhancement Treatment do I need?
Each patient may need a varying amount of Volume Enhancement Treatment to reach their desired results. It is usually recommended to start with one syringe in each lip or cheek, especially for those new to fillers seeking a subtle enhancement. If more volume is required, a follow-up appointment can be scheduled to discuss adding an extra ml of filler. Your cosmetic injector will guide you during the consultation on the ideal amount of Volume Enhancement Treatment to achieve your cosmetic goals.
