Dermal Fillers: For Wrinkles, Lips & Facial Shaping: Melbourne
Quick Facts
- Dermal fillers can be used to revolumise areas of the face that have lost volume, or to non-surgically change the shape of the face
- Common areas for treatment with dermal fillers include; lips, cheeks, tear troughs, chin, nose, brows, nasolabial folds, mouth corners, and wrinkles (static wrinkles).
- There are a number of temporary dermal fillers available at The Victorian Cosmetic Institute lasting from 4 months to 2 years
- Filler types JU/JU+/JUR//R/P/RSQ/V can be dissolved by injection of hyaluronidase if there are any problems
- Permanent fillers have a greater rate of serious complications such as infection and lumps (in comparison to temporary fillers) and are not recommended at The Victorian Cosmetic Institute
- Treatment with dermal fillers involve firstly numbing the area to be treated, and then injecting the filler. There are usually some temporary side effects post-treatment, including redness, swelling, asymmetry and bruising.
- Dermal fillers are a safe and effective method of non-surgically shaping, volumising, lifting, and rejuvenating the face

This weekend, my brother Nick emailed my twin sister and me to congratulate us for reaching exactly one billion seconds! A billion seconds, he told us, equals 31 years, 259 days, 1 hour, 46 minutes and 40 seconds. I love how, true to form, Nick adjusted for daylight savings, leap years and time zones. :)
