Volume Contouring Treatments Sydney

Planning a Visit to One of Our Sydney Clinics? Here’s What to Expect from Volume-Restoring Treatments

If you’re considering a volume-restoring treatment at one of our Sydney clinics, here’s a straightforward overview of how these treatments work, helping you feel informed before your appointment.

Our treatments use advanced substances that vary based on their specific functions. Many contain a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain skin hydration and tissue moisture. Other treatments stimulate collagen production and are known as biostimulators, offering longer-lasting results by enhancing the skin’s structure over time.

When carefully applied to targeted areas, these treatments help replenish hydration and restore volume, resulting in a plumper, more rejuvenated appearance. These volume-restoring options effectively soften lines and wrinkles, reducing their appearance while providing a gentle lift to counter the visible signs of ageing.

Wrinkle-relaxing treatments and volume-restoring options serve distinct purposes in aesthetic care, though they are often combined to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Some wrinkle-relaxing treatments work by gently reducing the activity of targeted facial muscles. This approach smooths out fine lines and wrinkles, particularly those that appear with facial expressions, such as smiling or frowning. These treatments are ideal for addressing dynamic wrinkles that form with repeated movements.

In contrast, volume-restoring treatments use a specialised gel-like substance to add fullness and lift to areas like the lips, cheeks, and under-eye region. By restoring volume, these treatments create a more plump and youthful look, enhancing facial contours and structure.

Each treatment offers unique benefits, and when combined, they can complement one another for a balanced, refreshed appearance. Our experienced medical team at Medical Aesthetics 360° is here to help you choose the most suitable options to achieve your aesthetic goals.

Volume-restoring treatments are widely used in the medical field and are effective in rejuvenating your appearance. However, like any medical procedure, there may be some side effects, which are typically minor and temporary. After receiving these treatments, patients might experience:

• Bruising: Small bruises can occur at the application sites but typically fade quickly within a few days.
• Redness and Swelling: These are common responses as the skin adjusts, usually subsiding within a few days.
• Lumpiness: Occasionally, small lumps may be felt under the skin near the treatment area. These often smooth out naturally over a short period.
• Itching or Tenderness: Some patients may feel slight itchiness or tenderness at the treated area, which is a normal part of the healing process.

These side effects are generally mild and resolve without intervention. While serious side effects are much rarer, they can occur and may include allergic reactions, infection, or more significant swelling.

During your consultation, we will discuss the potential risks in detail, ensuring you are fully informed before proceeding with the treatment. At Medical Aesthetics 360°, we are committed to providing thorough information and care, prioritising your safety and well-being throughout the entire process.

At Medical Aesthetics 360°, we pride ourselves on delivering personalised care for each patient, ensuring the best possible outcomes.

Before any treatment, one of our medical professionals will conduct a thorough skin assessment and review your medical history to determine if our volume-restoring treatments are suitable for your specific needs. In some cases, we may recommend additional treatments to complement the results, particularly if you have significant skin laxity or specific conditions.

However, these treatments may not be ideal for everyone. They are generally not recommended if you:

• Are under 18 years of age
• Have certain underlying health conditions
• Are currently pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have a history of nerve or bleeding disorders
• Have an active skin condition

It’s also essential to have realistic expectations about the results. Our medical team will work with you to discuss what you can anticipate, ensuring that your treatment aligns with your aesthetic goals.

Many patients notice visible improvements shortly after their treatment, leaving the clinic with a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance. For optimal results, we recommend allowing 2–4 weeks for any mild swelling to subside and for the treatment to settle fully into its final position.

The longevity of results can vary, typically lasting from six months up to two years, depending on the specific treatment and how your body metabolises the ingredients. Since the effects are not permanent, periodic maintenance sessions may be needed to sustain your desired look, especially as natural signs of ageing gradually reappear.

Many patients are delighted with their treatment results, but we understand that some may have concerns about the final outcome. One of the benefits of our frequently used volume-restoring treatments is their reversibility. If necessary, a specialised enzyme may be used to adjust or dissolve the treatment, typically returning the area to its pre-treatment state.

It’s also worth noting that the effects of these treatments are temporary, gradually diminishing over time, allowing flexibility in maintaining or adjusting your look.

For most patients, our volume-restoring treatments cause only mild discomfort rather than significant pain. You may feel a light pinching sensation during the application, followed by mild stinging as the treatment is administered. To minimise discomfort, we often apply a topical anaesthetic to the treatment area and use very fine needles to make the process as comfortable as possible.

After your session, it’s normal to experience some mild soreness or tenderness, which can usually be relieved with simple home remedies like ice packs or over-the-counter pain relief.

If you’re feeling anxious or uncertain, our team is here to walk you through the entire process, providing detailed information to ensure you feel calm and confident. Our priority is to make your experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible, from start to finis

Our commitment to personalised care means that each treatment plan is carefully tailored to address your unique skin needs, concerns, and aesthetic goals. As a result, treatment costs may vary from one patient to another.

During your initial consultation, a skilled doctor will assess your skin, review your medical history, and discuss your specific needs to create a customised treatment plan. This plan will include a clear breakdown of costs, anticipated timeframes, and detailed information on what to expect before, during, and after the treatment.
