Non-Surgical Volume Treatments
Facial appearance changes over time as a natural part of ageing. Some people choose to address specific concerns — such as changes in facial volume, the appearance of lines, or definition in certain areas — through non-surgical cosmetic treatments.
About Volume-Adding Aesthetic Treatments
Volume treatments are used to address a range of specific facial concerns. These may include:
They can help:
- Loss of lip volume
- Appearance of the under-eye area
- Depth of certain facial lines
- Appearance of acne scars
- Cheek definition
Individual results will vary depending on skin type, the area treated, the amount of material used, and the individual’s response.
Treatment Considerations and Downtime
As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential side effects and risks associated with these treatments. These include, but are not limited to, redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the treatment site, which are common and typically resolve within a few days. Less common risks, including vascular complications, will be discussed with you during your consultation.
Downtime following treatment is generally minimal, though individual recovery varies. Your clinician will provide tailored aftercare instructions and advise on any activity restrictions following your appointment.
How Long Do Results Last?
Individual results vary. Many patients find that results last for between six and 12 months, though some may experience shorter or longer durations. Whether and when to pursue a follow-up treatment is a decision to be made in consultation with your clinician based on your individual response.
