Cheek Fillers

Cheek fillers are used to restore youthful plumpness to the cheekbone area of the face without surgery.

Long considered a mark of beauty and youth, cheek fullness is lost as we age. Sagging and flattening across the cheeks ages the face and gives a tired drawn look. Simply restoring volume to the mid face creates a more youthful and beautiful appearance immediately refreshing the facial appearance.

How the cheek filler procedure performed?

  • The cheek area is mapped out with two transecting lines “Hinderer’s Lines” to determine the optimal placement of the fillers for rejuvenation
  • Anaesthetic block is applied to make the procedure more comfortable
  • The cheek filler is placed strategically in the mid face and over the zygoma to lift the cheek and store youthful beauty.

    • The treatment takes around 15 minutes and you will see a beautiful result immediately. There may be some bruising which resolves over a week, however this is unusual.

    Non surgical rhinoplasty: one of our specialty areas.

    Everyone knows about the surgical rhinoplasty procedure but few people realise that many nose concerns can be addressed with a non surgical rhinoplasty or ‘nose job’?

    What is a non surgical rhinoplasty?

    The non-surgical rhinoplasty or the ‘nose job’ uses dermal filler to soften, shape and even straighten an individual’s nose without to invasive surgery.

    The three main groups of noses we treat are bumps, flatness of Asian noses and people with asymmetry from injury or birth.

  • The majority of bumps on the nose are easily treatable without surgery, slightly building up the indentation and smoothing out any bumps.
  • Many people of Asian origin seek non surgical rhinoplasty to build up the bridge of the nose. This creates a more refined look to the centre of the nose. Addition of height creates a cosmetic change without destroying the balance of ethnic features.
  • People with deviations, divots or assymetry of the nose largely can be treated with dermal filler to fill the defect or create a straighter, more defined look to the nose.

    • What does a non surgical nose job involve?

  • There is no down-time at all. The procedure takes about 15 minutes and you can resume normal activities immedicately.
  • Local numbing gel is applied 1 hour before the procedure to make it more comfortable, but it is remarkably little discomfort through most of the procedure.
  • The treatment should last 12 months, although for many people it can last longer.
  • Cost is $990 in total.
  • There may be minimal swelling afterwards and very rarely any bruising.

    • It is best to come in for an assessment, which is free and without obligation, then we can assess whether you are suitable for non surgical nose job and go through the treatment details.

    Get Rid Of Dark Circles Under Eyes

    Dark circles under the eyes are caused from volume loss which causes a shadow effect and not from lack ‘beauty sleep’ which is the common opinion.Treatment of dark circles therefore involves replacing the volume loss with a naturally occurring dermal filler into the area of hollowing.

    Injecting dermal filler into dark circles under the eyes smooths out the sunken tired look and in many cases effectively improves the cosmetic appearance of puffiness or ‘under eye bags’.

    “By replenishing volume under they eyes, dark circles and bags disappear and the whole face appears rejuvenated”

    Before treatment, tear troughs and under eye bagginess After treatment with tear trough filler.

    What does treatment of dark circles involve?

  • The under eye area is not particularly sensitive to injections and only requires superficial numbing to make it more comfortable.
  • The under eye area is very vascular so bruising often occurs (though not always). It is best to time treatment of dark circles under eyes so that you do not have any important engagements for about a week after treatment.
  • The cost of treating dark circles varies depending on the amount of filler required, this can vary from $220 to $770 but the treatment is long lasting and worth the investment
  • The treatment is often broken into two sittings, but the initial cost covers the whole course

    • Strictly speaking the procedure is minimally invasive and you can resume normal activity immediately. However it is best to choose a clinic that has alot of experience in treating dark circles because of the importance of the eyes in overall attractiveness of the face.

    Cheek Lift

    A cheek lift was traditionally a surgical procedure however with new dermal filler options cheek enhancement can be performed with a quick non surgical approach.

    Side view: before cheek enhancement. Side view: after cheek enhancement.

    Why consider a cheek lift?

    Full cheeks are considered a classic feature of youthful beauty. As we age there is flattening across the mid face which tends to create a drawn, tired look to the face. This very aging. A non surgical cheek lift revolumises sagging and sunken cheeks to create a refreshed more youthful look to the face.

    What Can Be Treated With Skin Peels?

    A skin peel rejuvenates the skin making it feel smoother, fresher and more vital. At SkinRevision we are in love with peels because they give an instant lift to the look and feel of your skin.

    Underlying many skin problems is a build-up of dead skin cells, making the skin dull in appearance causing enlargement of pores and accumlation of unwanted pigmentation. A skin peel loosens and removes the surface layers of dead skin, creating smoother softer skin and promoting more even pigmentation and some deeper skin firming effects.

    What can be achieved with skin peels?

    Peels are very versatile and can improve a number of skin problems by varying the cosmetic acid.

  • improved texture of dull sun damaged skins
  • fading of blotchy melasma pigmentation
  • unblocking of pores to assist clearing of acne and excessive oiliness
  • improving skin tone by fading sun spots and discolouration
  • refreshing aged wrinkled skin

    • “Skin peels have gained a deserved resurgence in cosmetic medicine. The old chemical peels penetrated deeply and caused considerable trauma, downtime and complications. Modern skin peels focus on very superficial layers of skin and achieve revitalisation without the downside”

    What will a skin peel help?

  • Early sun damaged skin: stimulates collagen surface texture improves reducing fine wrinkles.
  • Acne : Salicylic acid peels are ideal to reduce congestion, blackheads, white heads and help clear pimples.
  • Melasma: a series of peels along with prescription creams can effectively fade this very difficult condition.

    • What problems skin peels do not address.

  • Deeper lines, folds, grooves: this is to to volume loss and require injectable treatment.
  • Sagging skin: facial peels do have some skin tightening but they are not a substitute for a facelift
  • Broken capillaries: these must be treated with IPL or laser.
  • Will only mildly improve some acne scarring: acne scarring is best treated with skin needling or superficial fillers.

    • Skin Peel Cost

    Skin peels at SkinRevision costs $70- $90 per peel.

    Because you require more than one peel for optimum treatment we offer buy 2 and get the 3rd peel free.

    So YOU get three peels for $140 to $180.
