Frequently asked questions
Dermal Fillers
Anti Wrinkle
Because it is illegal to name, publish and promote Schedule 4 medications, I am unable to list direct prices for fillers. However the cost is dependant on the amount needed and the area and type of filler used, (fillers come in soft, medium and thick). For reference they are from $499 and increase with the amount of product needed.
Fillers carry more risks than anti wrinkle due the product (it is a thick gel substance). The worst complication is called a vascular occlusion and in simple terms this is when the filler creates a clot that blocks the arterial flow (leading to tissue death and poor perfusion to surrounding areas). Correct placement, product selection and mode of delivery in higher risk areas (eg. cannula) can all help mitigate this happening. There have been cases of blindness from dermal filler occlusion, some permanent. This is mostly from injecting high risk areas such as the nose, forehead and temple. Recognising this complication and treating with a dissolving agent immediately leads to the best outcomes. If you have been treated with filler and notice the next few hours/days a lot of pain or discolouration to area or surrounding tissue, it's important to take a photo and send to the treating nurse. Responding early and dissolving leads to favourable outcomes. Other risks include bruising, infection, swelling, asymmetry and rarely allergic reaction. If you have an allergy to bee stings or lidocaine you are unable to have treatment with dermal fillers.
