Frequently Asked Questions

We do not offer to dissolve Filler if you were treated outside of our network of clinics. If you wish to dissolve Filler you received at Laser Clinics, you must book a review with your Cosmetic Injector.

The most common side effects occur within 24 hours or immediately post-treatment. These include swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness.

Immediate side effects usually disappear within days. However, depending on the type of Dermal Filler used, it can take a few weeks. At Laser Clinics Australia we strongly encourage a review appointment which is complimentary 2 weeks post-treatment to discuss your treatment results.

Your full face analysis is a consultation with our Registered Nurses. They will understand your goals and answer any questions, and offer personalised treatment solutions.

Please book a complimentary consultation with our Medical Team to ascertain if you are a suitable candidate for treatment. We are unable to treat you if:

You are taking Anticoagulants (blood thinning medication)
You are pregnant or breastfeeding
You have multiple and severe allergic reactions

As with any Laser Clinics Australia treatment, our Anti-Wrinkle Cosmetic Injectable treatments come with important after-care recommendations in order to achieve the best results. Our experienced medical team share their post-treatment advice:

- Remain upright for four hours following your treatment and avoid lying down while the product settles into place.
- Avoid any Skin Treatments like Microdermabrasion, Skin Needling, or Dermal Rolling for two weeks after Dermal Fillers
- Avoid active skincare products such as Retinol for at least 5 days after the treatment.
- Avoid alcohol and painkillers such as ibuprofen before and after treatment as they tend to thin the blood and can make you prone to bruising.
- Do not exercise for 24 hours after your treatment and avoid any exercise that involves inverted poses (e.g. yoga, pilates, barre, etc) and provoke sweating as the Dermal Filler is settling into place.
- Avoid exposing your skin to excessive heat or cold including saunas, spas, steam rooms, hot yoga, ice baths, or skiing. Changes in temperature can lead you to touch or rub your face more which can put unwanted pressure on the treated muscles, risking dispersion of the protein into unwanted areas.
- Avoid massaging or applying pressure to the face which can affect how the product settles in a particular area. When cleansing the skin and applying skincare and makeup, only use gentle strokes.

PRP is a natural treatment that uses your own blood to boost skin health and reverse the signs of ageing. Our Medical Team of experienced Doctors and Registered Nurses begin the treatment by extracting your own blood from your arm and running the extracted blood through a centrifuge to separate the platelet rich plasma (PRP) with a dedicated medical device. Using a topical anaesthetic to ensure comfort, the platelet rich plasma is then injected into the treatment area.

The treatment results in an increased number of collagen fibres and enhances the skin’s elasticity and texture. The platelets also release growth factors, which help the skin repair and renew, with the effect of increased skin smoothness and reduced fine lines and wrinkles. Overall, the entire treatment takes less than an hour.

 

For best results we recommend 3 treatments, 1 month apart.

The results are seen in 8-12 weeks and last up to 12 months. Threads remain in place for up to six months and then slowly dissolve. While the threads start dissolving at approximately 3 months, the collagen stimulation can last up to 12 months. This long-lasting effect is due to the improvement of your skin condition post-treatment.
