1. What is a volume treatment?

​

They are non-surgical treatments that restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They are typically made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin, and are used to plump areas like the cheeks, lips, and under-eye area.

 

2. How long do Volume treatments last?

​

The longevity of volume treatments depends on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and individual factors. Generally, they can last anywhere from 6 months to 18 months. For longer-lasting results, maintenance treatments are recommended.

 

3. Are volume Treatments safe?

​

Yes, volume treatments are considered safe when administered by a qualified and experienced cosmetic nurse. At Fairy Aesthetics, we use TGA products and follow strict safety protocols to ensure the best results.

 

4. What are anti-wrinkle injections?

​

Anti-wrinkle injections (also known as Botox or similar medications) are used to relax the muscles that cause wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. This leads to a smoother, more youthful appearance.

 

5. How long does wrinkle reduction last?

​

They generally last between 3-4 months. Results vary from person to person and can be influenced by factors like muscle movement and age.

 

6. Are there any side effects from cosmetic treatments?

​

Common side effects include temporary swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. These side effects usually resolve within a few days. Rarely, more serious side effects can occur, but these are minimised with professional treatment.

 

7. How soon will I see results from dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections?

​

With dermal fillers, results are immediate, though full effects are often visible within a week as swelling subsides. Anti-wrinkle injections take a few days to start working, with full results visible in about 1-2 weeks.

 

8. Will my facial expressions look unnatural after anti-wrinkle injections?

​

No, when administered by an experienced cosmetic nurse, anti-wrinkle injections will result in a natural look. Your facial expressions will remain intact while the appearance of wrinkles is softened.

 

9. Can dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections be used together?

​

Yes, dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections are often used together to address different concerns. While anti-wrinkle injections relax muscles to smooth out wrinkles, dermal fillers restore volume to areas like the cheeks or lips.

 

10. Can I return to work after injectable treatments?

​

Yes, most people can return to work immediately after treatments. However, it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, hot environments (like saunas), and excessive touching of the treated areas for 24-48 hours to ensure optimal results.

 

11. Are there any restrictions after having injectables?

​

After your treatment, avoid lying down for 4 hours, excessive sun exposure, and touching or massaging the treated areas. If you’ve had anti-wrinkle injections, avoid strenuous activities for 24 hours to reduce the risk of complications.

 

12. Can I have dermal fillers dissolved if I don’t like the results?

​

Yes, if you’re unhappy with the results of dermal fillers, they can be dissolved using hyaluronidase. This enzyme safely breaks down the filler, allowing you to adjust or correct the area.

 

13. Is there a risk of lumps or irregularities with dermal fillers?

​

While rare, lumps or irregularities can occur if the filler isn’t injected correctly or if the area is massaged too soon after treatment. An experienced cosmetic nurse will ensure smooth and even results, and these irregularities can often be corrected with a follow-up treatment.

 

14. How do I choose the right injectable treatment for me?

​

During your consultation, our experienced cosmetic nurse will assess your concerns and goals, discuss the available options, and create a customized treatment plan that suits your specific needs.

 

15. How much do injectable treatments cost?

​

The cost of injectable treatments varies depending on the type of injectable, the area being treated, and the amount needed. We provide detailed pricing during the consultation, so you can make an informed decision.

 

16. How do I prepare for injectable treatments?

​

For optimal results, avoid alcohol, blood thinners (like aspirin or ibuprofen), and excessive sun exposure 24-48 hours before your treatment. Discuss any medical conditions or medications with your cosmetic nurse before proceeding.

 

17. Can I have injectables if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

​

Injectables are generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It’s best to consult with your healthcare provider and wait until you are no longer pregnant or breastfeeding before receiving treatments.

 

18. Are there any age restrictions for dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections?
