Hey gorgeous! Thinking about getting Dermal Fillers but not quite sure what to expect?

Don’t worry, LA Lips has got you covered! Whether you’re looking to plump up those lips, smooth out some lines, or just simply add a bit of volume and height. Dermal Filler Treatment appointment can be a game-changer. So, let’s dive into what you can expect when you visit us for a little beauty boost.

Before Your Dermal Filler Appointment

Your Pre-Appointments

Before booking your appointment, it’s essential to know what you’re getting into.
Dermal fillers are restoring, correcting and volumising treatments used to replace volume loss, smooth out fine lines, and harmonise facial contours and balancing. At LA Lips, we use premium quality fillers and TGA medical graded technology ensuring you natural-looking results that enhance your beauty.

Book a Consultation

First things first, secure your complimentary consultation with our registered nurses in one of our 7 Brisbane Cosmetic clinics found nearest to you.

This is your safe space and an opportunity to work through your goals, ask questions, and get personalised treatment plans tailored to your needs and everyday lifestyle. This involves a detailed medical assessment of your facial structure & animations, skin condition, and together, we collaborate by recommending a realistic and individualised treatment plan for you.

Days before your Appointment

In the days leading up to your appointment, keep your skin in tip-top shape. Avoid alcohol, aspirin, and other blood-thinning medications as they can increase the risk of bruising, swelling, and bleeding. Keep your skin hydrated and clean, and steer clear of any harsh and active skincare treatments or products to minimise risks associated.

During Your Dermal Filler Treatment

Warm Welcome

When you arrive at LA Lips, you’ll be greeted by our friendly clinical team. We’ll make sure you’re comfortable and ready for your treatment. Our goal is to create a relaxing and enjoyable experience from start to finish.

Cosmetic Consultation On-Site

Legal Compliance and Safety Measures 

In Australia, it’s required by national law to have a doctor consultation before receiving any non-surgical cosmetic treatments; this can include a Telehealth Doctor Consultation. At LA Lips, we ensure that all our treating procedures comply with these regulations to guarantee your comfort, safety and satisfaction.

Convenient and Hassle-Free

When you book your dermal filler appointment with us, we arrange for a cosmetic physician to be available for a consultation right then and there. This streamlined process ensures that you can get the professional medical advice you need without any added hassle. Our doctors will assess your suitability for the treatment, discuss any potential risks, and answer any medical questions you may have.

Consultation Recap

Before we get started, our registered nurses will go over the treatment plan, consent forms and medical screening discussed during your initial consultation. This is a great time to ask any last-minute questions or address any concerns you might have.

Compound Numbing

To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area if you wish. This helps minimise any discomfort during the injection process and alternatively, we have physical distractions such as stress balls and our popular rose gold and pink vibrating wands for fun!

Begins Your Dermal Filler Treatment

Now, it’s time for the main event! Your registered nurse will carefully inject the filler into the predetermined areas. Thanks to the numbing cream and the fine needles we use, most clients find the procedure to be quite tolerable. You might feel a slight pinch or pressure, but it’s generally quick and manageable.

The process is relatively quick, typically taking approximately 30-45 mins depending on the extent of the treatment.

Artistic Precision

At LA Lips, we pride ourselves on our artistic approach to Dermal Fillers. Our practitioners have a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of facial anatomy, ensuring that your results look natural and harmonious. They will continuously assess and adjust the filler placement to achieve the best possible outcome.

After Your Appointment

Immediate Results

One of the best things about Dermal Fillers is that you can see the results instantly and progressively! You’ll notice an improvement in the treated areas, with full results developing over the next week as any swelling subsides.

One of the great things about Dermal Fillers is the minimal downtime. You can typically return to your regular activities right away, although you might experience some minor swelling or bruising for a few days.

Dermal Fillers After Care

After your appointment, we will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. This may include avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive sun exposure for the first 24-48 hours. Applying a cold compress can help reduce any swelling or bruising.

Follow-Up

We love seeing our clients happy and confident! A follow-up appointment may be scheduled to ensure you’re delighted with your results and to address any questions you might have. Dermal fillers are temporary, typically lasting 12 months, so regular maintenance appointments can keep you looking fabulous.
