What to expect during your Dermal Filler Appointment
Personalised Assessment
Comfort Measures
To help reduce discomfort during the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied before treatment. In some cases, a local anaesthetic or nerve block may be used. For those experiencing anxiety, medical-grade gas can be made available.
The Treatment
Small amounts of dermal filler are carefully injected into targeted areas such as the cheeks, chin, jawline, or under the eyes. The technique focuses on restoring volume and supporting facial structure while maintaining natural expression and movement.
Results
Visible results can often be seen immediately after treatment. However, the full effect becomes more apparent as swelling subsides over the following days. Results will vary based on the area treated and the product used.
Aftercare
You’ll be provided with specific post-treatment instructions tailored to your treatment areas. Absolute Cosmetic also offers 24-hour on-call support for any urgent concerns following your appointment.
Ice packs are available for purchase to assist with comfort following treatment. We recommend you ice the area injected for 30 minutes after the procedure and 30 minutes before bed, plus again in the morning. An extra pillow or sleeping upright will help to reduce swelling.

What Brand of Dermal Lip Filler Do We Use?
We offer a selection of premium dermal filler products, with different options available depending on the injected area. Product selection is discussed during your consultation, so there’s no need to decide beforehand. Your practitioner will help guide you based on your treatment goals and anatomy.
What to Know Before Getting Dermal Filler Injections
You should be in good health before your dermal filler appointment. At the consultation, we will take a complete medical history. Blood-thinning medications and anti-inflammatory products should be avoided for 1 week before Dermal Fillers. Smokers should cut down or quit at least one week beforehand.
The area should be clean and dry and free of makeup. Reading and signing the consent and aftercare forms is required to ensure you are well-informed before your consultation.
In Australia, patients can usually donate blood 14 days after receiving dermal filler treatments, provided they are feeling well and have had no complications.
Assessing Vascular Health: A normal capillary refill time (typically less than 2 seconds) indicates healthy blood flow to the skin. This is crucial when considering areas for dermal filler injection to minimise the risk of complications.
Monitoring Post-Treatment: After dermal filler injections, monitoring capillary refill time can help identify any potential circulatory issues or complications.
Yes, most dermal fillers are made from a substance that can be dissolved with an enzyme if required. This option is available in the case of complications or if the result does not meet expectations.
Volume Optimisation (VO) is a critical aspect of dermal filler treatments, focusing on restoring and enhancing facial volume. As we age, natural volume loss occurs due to factors such as fat depletion and decreased collagen production. Dermal fillers are designed to address these changes by replenishing volume in specific areas of the face, such as the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes.
Collagen-stimulating fillers add volume to correct deep lines and restore lost volume while using the body’s natural response to stimulate the formation of your collagen. This procedure offers long-lasting results.
Depending on the product used, the initial results can last up to four years, and you may see long-term benefits even after the product has been broken down due to the creation of new collagen.
We also offer Skin Booster Injections (also known as Micro Filler).
Yes, dermal filler treatments can be tailored for all genders. Men commonly seek treatment for areas such as the jawline, chin, and under-eyes to support facial structure or reduce volume loss.
After your appointment, it’s advised to avoid alcohol, strenuous exercise, hot environments (like saunas), and applying makeup to the treated area for at least 12 hours.
No, different products vary in consistency, longevity, and suitability for specific areas. This is why product selection is discussed during your consultation, based on your needs and facial structure.
Other Treatment Options
In addition to traditional dermal fillers, we offer a range of treatments designed to support volume, improve skin quality, and address different concerns. These options may be suitable depending on your goals and the areas you wish to treat.
