Volumising are minimally invasive cosmetic treatments designed to add volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours.

Volumising treatment areas may include:

• Cheeks

• Lips

• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)

• Marionette lines (lines running from the corners of the mouth to the chin)

• Jawline

• Chin

• Contouring and defining facial structures

Costs vary from patient to patient depending on the treatment and the amount of product used. For a detailed price break down please contact the clinic or schedule a consultation.

The dermal filler procedure typically involves the following steps:

1. Consultation: Discuss your goals and medical history with the practitioner.

2. Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort.

3. Injection: The filler is injected into the targeted areas using fine needles or cannulas.

4. Post-Injection: The area is massaged to ensure even distribution of the filler.

5. Aftercare: Instructions are provided for post-treatment care.
