Filler
There are many types of dermal fillers. All with different, hard to pronounce names but essentially aiming to do one thing: reduce the appearance of lines and deep wrinkles, and to make the skin look more youthful. Chatting to our clients about dermal fillers tends to develop into a very long conversation, therefore we thought it’d be best if we highlight the benefits here for you.
Our fillers are all made of Hyaluronic acid, a natural product found in the skin. Hyaluronic acid absorbs moisture within the skin, at the site of deep lines, which then forces the lines to ascend towards the surface, diminishing their appearance and making your skin look younger.
Due to the use of natural Hyaluronic acid, there are rarely negative skin reactions and all fillers are dissolvable, meaning that they naturally dissolve into the skin, eliminating the chance of lumps and bumps forming over time.
The treatments are cost effective. Dermal fillers are an inexpensive option when compared to surgical treatments such as a fat transfer which is also more invasive. The treatments are completely non-surgical, which also means very little downtime. There will occasionally be minimal swelling and bruising which will usually dissipate within a week. The results are instant and sometimes even get better with time.
You will notice a younger appearance with less lines and wrinkles and a healthy complexion which gives you a boost in confidence. Dermal fillers are more effective at treating deep wrinkles than other injectables and can correct volume loss and reshape the face.
Although the treatment is a little uncomfortable at times, it is not described by our clients as painful. We are happy to use numbing creams to ease the discomfort during application. Our dermal fillers will last between 6-24 months depending on the area and type of filler used, meaning you can continue the treatment if you are happy with the results and make them more or less frequent depending on how you react.
Our practitioners are qualified and skilled to administer dermal fillers. As with all treatments and procedures, you should look for qualified and registered practitioners who will take care of you and ensure that you are happy and safe at all times.
Dermal fillers are a fantastic way to test the waters, see what works for you while not incurring drastic side effects or severe downtime. The results of dermal filler treatments performed at Main Street Cosmetic and Skin speak for themselves. Whether it is fine lines around the eyes and mouth or deep, set wrinkles between the brows, we will be able to make a positive difference to your face. But it doesn’t stop there! We can use dermal fillers on a variety of areas, such as the neck and hands to smooth lines and create a more youthful appearance. For these reasons and the many listed above, the treatment is incredibly popular amongst our clients.
Dermal fillers will have you looking and feeling better about your skin, as you handle the signs of ageing gracefully. Call Main Street Cosmetic and Skin on 03 9739 3830 to arrange a consultation, where we can discuss your key areas and how to effectively treat them.
Lip enhancement using dermal fillers
The size, shape and volume of the lips can be enhanced by injecting dermal fillers in and around the lips. With age, lip volume naturally decreases which makes the skin surrounding the lips and the lips more prone to wrinkling.

Lip filler can be used to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles on and around the lips as well as pump and volumise. Lip filler is always performed to enhance the lips so they are proportional to the rest of the face and a more natural result is achieved.
Generally lip filler treatment lasts 6 – 12 months. It is to be expected that some swelling may occur immediately after the treatment, and as will all injections, there is a small chance that you may bruise. Bruising and swelling usually only lasts a couple of days.

Dermal fillers work by imitating a naturally occurring substance within your body – a sugar molecule that exists naturally in almost all living organisms. Its normal function is to bind water so it acts as a lubricant and shock absorber in movable parts of the body, such as joints. It is also important for the transport of nutrients and in regulating water balance in skin. By boosting your skin with this naturally occurring substance, dermal fillers revitalise and add facial volume to the area instantly. This diminishes the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and gives a natural softer look. The gel we use is very tissue-friendly and closely resembles that which exists in the body.
Results from a single treatment can be seen instantly and can last for up to 6 months, depending on the thickness of the product and a number of biological factors of an individual client. We use dermal filler injections to give a natural looking result that does not affect facial expression. Our face changes as we age, so dermal fillers allow you to control your looks subtly over time.
Dermal fillers can be used to help smooth away smile lines, add fullness to thin lips and shape facial contours, such as cheeks and chin, as well as hydrate and revitalise the skin. The most common areas treated are the nose to mouth lines (the nasolabial folds), the lips (adding volume and shape) and the cheeks. We do not treat the nose or temples with dermal filler.
One of the great advantages of dermal filler treatment is that the effects are long lasting but not permanent. Dermal filler products are biodegradable, which means they will naturally disappear in the body. The longevity of your filler can vary, depending on the brand, thickness and area treated. Duration also depends on many factors, such as the individual’s skin type, skin condition lifestyle and age. To ensure an optimal and long lasting result, a top-up treatment is recommended 6-12 months after your initial treatment. Our experienced doctors and registered nurse injectors will guide you on the appropriate time for your follow-up appointment.
This will really depend on the individual. The injections themselves feel like a slight pinch, and you may experience slight pressure or a ‘stinging’ sensation as the product is being injected. Depending on the area, your cosmetic injector may apply numbing cream to the area to be treated. Some of the fillers already contain local anaesthetic which also makes the treatment more tolerable.
You must be over 18 to receive a dermal filler treatment. Dermal fillers should not be used in or near areas where there is or has been skin disease, inflammation or skin related problems. Dermal fillers have not been tested in pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with medical conditions that lower the body’s immune response or individuals undergoing therapy that is immunosuppressive may be more prone to infection by a skin injection procedure. During your pre-treatment consultation, you should thoroughly discuss your medical history with your treating nurse or doctor.
