Cosmetic Injectable Treatments

The day before the injectables treatment, you should avoid drinking alcohol. Alcohol thins the blood and can cause bruising. Aspirin and other anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen and fish oil should be avoided for a week before your injection. Please consult your doctor before ceasing any prescribed medications.

It's important to note that the injection sites are prone to bruising and itchiness afterwards. While these are usually short-lived, bruising can last anywhere between 3-14 days. After your injectables treatment, avoid drinking alcohol and stay out of the sun or saunas, as these may result in additional bruising. In some cases, antihistamines can be taken to reduce swelling.

Avoid touching or rubbing the treatment area immediately after. Additionally avoid strenuous exercise, smoking and Alcoholic beverages at least two days after the procedure.

Depending on the type of injectable treatment you choose, the procedure can take anywhere from ten to sixty minutes. Multiple areas can take longer. The procedure tends to be fairly comfortable and minimal pain is usually felt. Additionally, many of these injectables come pre-loaded with a numbing agent to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. If pain is a concern please discuss this further with your practitioner.

While many injectables provide instant results, others may take several days to see results. Injectables containing filler may also cause swelling, redness, and tenderness. These effects will usually subside within two weeks. However, patients should allow at least one month for the dermal filler treatment to completely settle. Neurotoxin injections are fairly quick and due to the nature of the treatment will not require numbing. Bruising and pain will likely be minimal and are often relieved by over-the-counter medications.

Here at Next Aesthetics only TGA approved dermal fillers are used. Australian legislation prevents brand names from being mentioned on the website. You will need to ask your practitioner about the products that are going to be used in your procedure.

Cosmetic injectables vary in price and are based on how much each individual needs and the aesthetic goal. Please book a consultation to discuss this further or feel free to browse the price guide.

Dermal fillers are the most popular cosmetic injections for restoring volume, facial contouring and facial enhancements. Most dermal fillers last between three months and two years, depending on the product used and the area injected. Anti-wrinkle Injections last anywhere from 6 weeks to 4 months. Results and longevity of the injections depend on the person, muscles and treatment area.

If you have decided to undergo cosmetic injections, you must know that there are a number of risks involved. However, if you have adequate knowledge, cosmetic procedures can be relatively safe. To ensure that your procedure is safe, it is important to choose a qualified practitioner and undergo a consultation before you proceed with any treatment. The practitioner will assess your facial features, cosmetic history and aesthetic goals to determine whether you are suitable for the procedure. Similarly, you should choose a cosmetic clinic that offers a range of treatments for your face and body.
