VOLUME ENHANCEMENT TREATMENTS

How Volume Enhancement Treatments Can with your Facial Appearance

Your face is often the first thing others notice about you.

As we age, visible changes can start to appear, such as the gradual reduction in skin volume and firmness. Volume enhancement treatments offer a non-surgical approach to address these age-related developments.

Why Consider Volume Enhancement Treatments?

Over time, the skin gradually loses essential moisture, elasticity, and fullness due to the natural reduction of elements like elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. Environmental factors, such as sun exposure and lifestyle choices, can also affect the skin’s appearance.

Volume enhancement treatments can be used to address:

• Lip thinning: Lips naturally lose volume with age, becoming thinner and more susceptible to dryness.
• Lines around the mouth: Corners of the mouth can begin to sag.
• Reduced lip definition: The upper lip’s outline, or Cupid’s bow, may lose clarity with age.
• Vertical lines: Wrinkles and lines around the mouth may form, affecting lip contours.

These treatments are commonly applied to areas such as the cheeks, lips, jawline, nose, chin, eyebrows, the area around the nose, under-eye hollows, and the mouth’s corners.

How Volume Enhancement Treatments Work

Volume enhancement treatments are administered beneath the skin to add volume and provide structural support for the face, aligned with each individual’s facial profile.

One benefit of volume enhancement treatments is their non-surgical nature. Ashbrooke’s experienced professionals can tailor treatment based on individual preferences, offering a variety of options.

Volume enhancement treatments may also be combined with anti-wrinkle treatments. For more information on volume enhancement treatments available in Sydney, contact Ashbrooke Cosmetic Surgery today!

Risks and Considerations of Volume Enhancement Treatments

While volume enhancement treatments are widely used, they come with potential risks and considerations, as with any cosmetic procedure. Patients are encouraged to discuss these with their practitioner before deciding to proceed.

Potential Risks Include:

• Bruising and Swelling: It’s common to experience temporary bruising and swelling at the injection sites, which typically resolves in a few days.
• Redness and Discomfort: Mild redness, tenderness, or discomfort may occur post-treatment but usually subsides shortly afterward.
• Infection: Though rare, there is a risk of infection at the injection site. Proper aftercare is essential to reduce this risk.
• Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may have reactions to the ingredients used in volume enhancement treatments. Practitioners may conduct a preliminary assessment to minimise the chance of a reaction.
• Lumps or Unevenness: Occasionally, small lumps or unevenness may develop in treated areas, which may require additional treatment or massage.
• Nerve or Vessel Injury: There is a low risk of injury to underlying nerves or blood vessels, which can lead to temporary or, in rare cases, lasting effects.

Suitability and Precautions:

Volume enhancement treatments may not be suitable for everyone. Those who should avoid this treatment include:

• Individuals with Severe Allergies: Those with known allergies to specific substances in the treatment should avoid these procedures.
• Pregnant or Breastfeeding Individuals: Safety in pregnant or breastfeeding individuals has not been established, so they should avoid volume enhancement treatments.
• Pre-existing Skin Conditions: Individuals with active skin infections, inflammation, or other skin conditions in the target area should delay treatment until the area is fully healed.

Before undergoing any procedure, it’s essential to discuss your health history, any allergies, and current medications with your practitioner. Each treatment is unique, and outcomes will vary based on individual factors, including age, skin type, and specific treatment areas.
