Loss of facial volume is a process that can begin early on in life and can start to show its effects in our thirties.
With age the collagen in our skin – the substance responsible for providing volume and fullness – begins to weaken and collagen production slows down.
Over time and due to other factors such as exposure to the environment elements our face begins to sag and look hollowed out.
Injectable fillers have been designed to reverse the effects of volume loss by filling in affected areas with one of several different substances, so it seems to nearly disappear ... for a period of time…
Additionally, wrinkle dermal fillers are now being used as “volumizers,” plumping and lifting the cheeks, filling out thin lips, plumping sagging hands and even filling out larger areas such as breasts and buttocks.
You should know that not every wrinkle is right for every type of wrinkle filler. Using the right wrinkle filler in the most appropriate way not only reduces the associated risks, but also ensures better results.
Most wrinkle dermal fillers Melbourne currently available on the market can be categorised by the main ingredient. Due to TGA regulations, the exact name of some of the dermal fillers used cannot be mentioned. We have abbreviated filler types for reference

- One of the very first wrinkle fillers developed was derived from a purified form of collagen extracted mostly from cows. Some countries have now stopped using these.

Newer forms of synthetic collagens are making these injections safer and more useful now and even though the results are generally shorter lived than other wrinkle fillers, many believe the results are better and more natural looking.

Autologous Wrinkle Fillers
- This category includes wrinkle fillers derived from substances, usually fat, taken from your own body. The fat is normally harvested from the thighs, buttocks, or stomach.
- While these are among the least performed wrinkle fillers, for some they can be a viable and important option.
- Risks for these injections are similar to other wrinkle fillers, including bruising, redness, and swelling at the site of the injection. However, because the use of these fillers includes the need for two procedures (one to remove the fat, one to inject — the two procedures may be done in one visit) plus some additional purification steps taken in the laboratory, they can be both costly and time consuming. Rarely, results can be permanent.
Though wrinkle fillers are among the safest Melbourne cosmetic procedures, there are things every consumer can do to help ensure their treatment is everything they hope for.
* Don’t let dermal filler price be your guide. Usually it would compromise, either in the skill of the provider or the quality of the ingredients being used.
* All wrinkle fillers should be administered using sterile instruments
* Know what you are being injected with, and ask your physician specifically if they are using approved wrinkle filler and it was purchased directly from the manufacturer. Reports have emerged of everything from industrial grade silicone to baby oil to unapproved fillers being used.
